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!

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!

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!
 
Very cute!
 
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!!

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

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

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!:D

I'm not complaining though!:thumbup:
 
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
 
those are great!!!

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.
