If you do this, do you still get the free samples? I have noticed that sometimes when you get the email with the free offers, they take you to specific websites that offer the free stuff, and if you just go to vistaprint.com and click free stuff, there is not always the same stuff listed. Has anyone else seen this? Also, whenever I get my orders there is always a coupon for 25% off my next purchase but, again, I need to go to a different website to do this. Is there something I am doing wrong?
I mean, they have such great deals I can see why they do not want offers combined... I am just wondering if I am missing something. (It wouldn't be the first time!)

This is why I love getting their emails! It has all the EXTRA deals!
If you are logged in to Vista print you can click on deals in different emails and when you order it all goes together! I LOVE it!

Hey Kara, where are you in South Jersey?? I am in National Park, near Deptford! Small world, isn't it?!? 
Vistaprint has some pre-loaded templates on there. I usually use the restaurant one, but I am sure if you browse through you will find something good. You can also get self-inking stamps, sometimes for free, which is what I use to stamp order forms and stuff - might save money in the long run over labels, although I haven't tested the theory yet.

here are the instructions on how I made my buis card
Go down the list and click on the free Prem Buis cards “get started” link
In the search designs box type “yellow sunflower”
Click select design on the one with the big yellow flower with the blue background. It was right at the top for me.
Click on advanced editing (under card sample)
Put your cursor over the buis card, it will come up with options to dbl click or right click. Right click to unlock and resize. Then click “crop”
Resize the box (by holding down your left mouse button over a corner of the box) till all that is inside the box is blue background. Click “OK”
Click the box (to the top right of the card) that says “ “add image
Click the “search our image library” link
Type chef hat into the search box
One of the images will be 4 chef hats in a row, click that one
You will have to crop this like before. Drag the box so it is tight around 1 of the hats/whisk. Click “OK”
You can resize and move the hat around wherever you like
You can also now add your info. You can change font style, size and color by highlighting the text in the box and then selecting from the menu above the card.
The boxes with the text can also be resized and moved around.
Make sure you hit the “save for later” button (lower left under Optionally you can tab) every now and then.

I am a little confused - couldn't you just use return address labels on catalogs? You could enter your phone number on the street address line, and your website on the town line. That is the same size I use on mine, although I haven't ordered them from Vista - I usually just print my own. Will it not let you do that?

in general - Vista Print will allow you to customize your labels however you want - I used to use them for everything when I was an event planner a few summers ago...I usually just print out my own as well - but on occasion - Vista Print will send out emails featuring FREE or discounted items - so I just ordered some as regular mailing labels...and then received a free customized stamp for my order...so 100 mailing labels for .77 and thena free stamp - with shipping/handling/tax - was a total of 4.00
