Holiday Cards
This is a revision of an article I did earlier in the year. However since it’s the holiday season I thought it was time to take another look at online greeting cards. They’re inexpensive (in fact most are free), paperless (so they’re good for the environment) and they’re easy to use. At this time of year who could ask for anything more?
I’m an old hand at this and I use three different sites:
1. JacquieLawson.com – Jacquie develops beautiful eGreeting that are works of art. They are beautiful, they’re set to music, sometimes they make you laugh and sometimes they make you cry. You have to be a member to send her cards but as of this writing the cost is only $10 a year.
2. Hallmark – You’ll see the link to their e-cards section at the top. Hallmark has tons of funny cards. They have other kinds too but I like the funny ones. They’ve recently tried to monetize their eGreetings. So watch out for the cards that cost money to send. Poke around and you’ll find their large collection of free cards.
3. Charles Dickens – Gad’s Hill Place – I must admit that this is one of my sites. But what would it say about me if I didn’t make a card page that I like? My cards are free and feature lovely Victorian artwork. They’re more customizable than the others so it’s a chance for you to get in touch with your inner artist. The cards aren’t animated so they’re perfect to send to people on dial-up. (Animation can really use up the bandwidth.) There’s no sound so they’re good for folks in an office situation who may be unable to crank up the volume.
