Do DPC do cards with my image provided say a pack of 20-30 for me here in New Zealand? I have an image I took and would like it made into a card. Do you supply envelopes?
What is the time frame for delivery and cost?
Or am I best to look closer to home.

I see your point! Try posing them in front of a very smooth blue sheet and dress them in reds and greens ... I'll send you some palm trees to drop into the background if you want : )

My aunt playing around with her dogs. She took the pic of them, I removed the background (leopard print) and did the collage.

Here is one one the first from a shoot I did today:



Comments, suggestions, Photoshop ideas are welcome as always :)

Edit:

I thought about changing the background to blue or etc. But then being Mr & Mrs Frosty I thought they are suppose to be outdoors and cold :)

Just shot one of Gracie tonight, but I think I'll go back and put her in a cute dress? I LOVED the window though.

Are you getting insert cards, or pasting them on the front? And how'd you get to a price of $0.56? [/quote]

The price allows me to make $.10 on each sale based on the $0.36 base price here. I don't actually expect to sell any though.

Mom loves the card :) [/quote]

I like the card too. But do tell, how are you getting a base price of .36?? What type of card is it? 4x8 or 4x6 note card, or 5x7 note card?

Hereis the card that I made last year. I printed it on 5x7 note card stock. I remember it as being better though :-)

I hope to be able to get one done for this year too. In addition, I take pics of the grandkids for the kids' 4x8 cards.

I really like this shot! Nice exposure to get the colors and a bit of the glow.

The price of $0.56 is for a 4x6 print via DPCPrints. $0.36 is the base price of the print so I added a $0.20 markup so I could make half of that ($0.10) for each print sold. The card that this print will be placed on is extra money. My mom will be pasting them on the front of 5x7 cards.

That looks like an evil christmas movie poster. I like it!

Here's what I'm sending this year:



I paid 19c per 4x6 from shutterfly, then about 50c a card for card stock and envelopes. Sticking them on with double sided tape.

There are some great shots in this thread!

My wife picked out this image last night for our cards this year:



(We'll be putting them in Photographer's Edge cards; this will be our first time using them. I ordered their catalog a few weeks ago after seeing them mentioned here on DPC, and the samples they sent seemed really nice.)

Have him holding santa or a reindeer by the neck and then put it on a t-shirt for me. Oh, the title might change to 'Merry f---ing Christmas'.

Oh, i've been to the malls shopping...does it show? bah humbug, no.

I have an idea for an Xmas card... I need red and green Xmas M&Ms...can i find them? NO...6 stores and NO. This is why I hate christmas (that and I can't have a D70 this year)
