Christmas cards with no greetings - I need some labels!

Georgesgran - I see !
Thank you .

I buy cards for the pictures on the front and blank inside. I have difficulty writing as my hands shake and to control the pen my writing is tiny so just put lots of love, love or beat wishes and my name . And address the envelope again it is tiny . But if posting make sure house number is large and post code .

Hope uou are 100% recovered by now jellybeanjean

But what do the scammers gain from doing that?

Esmay, they pop up because they’re resurrected by Spammers - in this instance hannahdavis. Posters then add to the thread without realizing, for whatever reason, the date of the OP. This one is from 2020.

Oops !
Did it again .
I only noticed the last post which had been deleted !
Why do these old posts keep popping up ?!

5 year old post Esmay

My local printshop made a stack of unusual cards featuring my mother's art work and a newsy letter .
I'd strained my hand badly from pruning and writing was painful .
Just another idea !

I don't really bother to write formal Christmas greetings inside .
I used to have to write so many cards for my parents,because they liked my hand writing !
I got fed up doing it .
Even if I make Christmas cards I just sign my name inside .
Have a look The Works -they sell blanks with matching envelopes usually in white ,green and red .
You could use an ink pad to add your design and greeting - possibly from Amazon .
Or make one card and photocopy it .
Lots of other great ideas here .
I hope that your hand heals soon -that sounds very painful .

I'd buy more cards and put the others away for next year.

This as well.

Hello there, jellybeanjean!

I see you have lots of good ideas.

Just another option is Etsy. They have lots of choice This is just one of them.

Good luck!

Well if you ve got a husband on hand can’t you get him to write one out then you can duplicate it on your printer

I hope you find something, jean.

I can't imagine you could manage a stamp - that would be harder than typing labels, which you say you're not even supposed to do.

If you can't persuade your DH to help you, why not just save the cards till next year and phone everyone.

How about something like this, although time is running out for delivery? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gold-Self-Adhesive-Merry-Christmas-Happy-New-Year-Peel-Off-Stickers-Sheet-Crafts/113278686171?hash=item1a5fef93db:g:YWAAAOSwtc9brnMw
I am another who types out greetings and prints off onto sticky-backed paper. I also have some printable transparent self adhesive sheets which look quite professional. I enjoy experimenting with fonts, shading and colours for the words.

Pantglas2, I've already got labels saved on PC for addresses and my husband can probably sign our names if I nag him enough!

No disrespect jellybean but why the wotsit isn’t he doing them instead of you ?
It’s true what they say, when a man marries he need never write another greetings card in his entire life apart from a birthday and anniversary card for his wife - if he remembers!

You can buy A4 sheets of labels and use the Avery templates online to design your greeting, minimal typing, just peel and stick them inside your cards?

If you have a scanner, you could do one signature, scan it in and put onto separate label sheets and stick those in too?

Really helpful replies, thanks so much. I have a few ideas now.

Are you able to print some card inners on a computer? I make cards and quite often do things this way, easy to cut to size and stick inside ... I usually use double sided tape, but a basic glue would do too.
You can write your own greeting, plus add in your name.

Vistaprint do them.

What about an ink pad and stamp with whichever greeting you want? By the way, who will write your name inside and then address the envelope?

You can get stamps and an ink pad from for example Hobbycraft but I think they might be sold out.
