I'm Addicted! (My New Vista Creations...)

[ChefBeckyD]

I DID need a power cooking postcard...and this is what it turned into:

hmmm, not sure why the front is so small....

I love the power cooking!! Thanks

 

[pamperedlinda]

WOW, those are great! I get so frusterated when I try to do something with Vista - guess I'm not patient enough! Or, is there a secret?

My secret is to walk away when I get frustrated, and come back later!

Same here...

Becky, you do know that imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I paid $12.38 for shipping for those 3 items - which is way cheaper than if I had used my printer to make invitations for these shows.

I have 2 Power Cooking Shows in July (so far), and 2 Couples Shows, plus another Couples Show in August....and one of the couples shows has already given me 25 names, with more coming....I needed to come up with a cheaper option!

Go ahead! Especially since I am working on a business plan for myself based on your posts in the Full Time Consultant thread!:thumbup:

I think I'm gonna flatter her some too!

(that just sounds weird.)

Becky I love em! Did you upload your own picture?? I may have to "borrow" your ideas! Thank you!

Becky I love em! Did you upload your own picture?? I may have to "borrow" your ideas! Thank you!

No - I'm really not creative at all - I just use the graphics provided by Vistaprint.

Here are some key words I use for searching:

Chef
Cook
Food
Dough
Fruits
Vegetables
Apron
Grill
Stove
Oven


You can come up with all sorts of options when you do this!

 

[lacychef]

Very cute!

 

[chefmary]

Love 'em! Thanks for sharing! I will definitely be stealing, um, **borrowing** these! I used Vista Print to print postcards for my Christmas in July sale and no one can believe how little I paid!!

I LOVE these Becky!!! Thanks for sharing!

 

[jrstephens]

Of course if you are like me when you come back later it may no longer be FREE! HA!

 

[Flamingo]

I ordered 2 free things from Vista and now I get email daily from them with FREE things. I wonder how they stay in business giving this all away.....

I just love your postcards and lables.... I just might "borrow' them myself....
Thanks

 

[Shawnna]

my problem is that i have no creativity...lol

did you copy paste them here or can you save them on your computer

 

[heat123]

Thanks for sharing Becky ! I am in need of some FREE Stuff and this is really cute!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Just an update:

I ordered this stuff on the 10th - using the slowest (read: cheapest) shipping option - and my order shipped on the 12th, and will be delivered still this week!

So much for 21 day delivery!

I'm not complaining though!:thumbup:

 

[VeronicaW]

Chef Becky, could you send me the "Step By Step" of how you did your Couples Show, PLEASE?!

I have not had a super successful Couples Show, of course I want to.

TIA,
Veronica

 

[redsoxgirl]

I have a friend whose husband works for Vista and I asked the very same thing!

She said enough people order stuff at full price and their cost is so low, that they still make money from the shipping alone on the free stuff.

I'm sorry Veronica - I don't even have anything written down...I don't do them as a competition or anything like that. I've just never been able to get that concept in my head well enough too facilitate it.

the last one I did was for a neighbor, and she had a very eclectic group there. All ages, and walks of life.

She wanted to do the 30 minute chicken, but because we were expecting 22 people, and half of them men (who don't understand the concept of "just a taste" at a party!) we did two 30 minute chickens - one before the show and one as a demo during the show.

Some of the guys hung out for the demo, and some wandered out to the backyard to drink beer!

I demoed the garlic parmesan biscuit bites, and then had people help make apple-berry salsa, and the salad chopper salsa. The hosts also had a crockpot full of meatballs for the guys.

After the demo (which was very short) everyone just filled their plates and ate, and played with tools and asked questions - and ordered.

That's it! Sorry it's not something more spectacular than that!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

What did you search to get that picture? I love it!

I think that was when I searched "oven" - or maybe "Cook"?

I just start searching all sorts of cooking words til I find what I like!

Becky, do you make your business cards on vista also? I've tried and they look horrible! Any thoughts on creating some.
I love your postcards!!!

 

[missmindym]

Dumb question, but how do you get the little R with the circle?

 

[Jules711]

I believe it's Alt 0174. There may be a special character section too?

Yep - I make them on Vista....I guess the only thing I do is play around until I like it....usually late at night when everyone else is sleeping.:blushing:

 

[missmindym]

Thank you, I finally figured out there is a special character section. :thumbup:

 

[suzipooh]

I love 'em! Great ideas..... I think I'm gonna..."borrow" those.... THANKS!

 

[missmindym]

Where are you going to put your labels?

 

[erinb]

Now they have postcards with little chef's hats & whisks...they have a few other things with just he hat. I've also seen a couple of items with an apron as well.

I just ordered some postcards and a self inking stamp on Monday and they arrived today...I chose the 21 day shipping...Great turn time!!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Where are you going to put your labels?

I have them on the front of catalogs, and also on the guest folders I use for my shows.
