CardStore.com Shut Down and Suggested Replacement American Greetings.com Doesn't Print Paper Cards



I’ve used CardStore.com for years, and their online address book, to send customized Christmas cards. They handled everything including addressing stamping and mailing out the cards.

They suggest joining their parent company site. Americangreetings.com, but after going over there, I don’t see any way for them to mail cards for you.

After reviewing the backs of this year's Christmas cards, I've decided to replace CardStore.com with Minted.com.

Minted had some very artistic designs that carry over to addressing your envelope, and can include coordinated stamps. The only thing that's different is that they will pre-stamp all of your cards, and then bulk mail them, in a box, to you. You then mail them. I'm not sure why this extra step is there, but it's no big deal. ;-)

Here's a deal for you:

$25 off $100 at Minted

“Your friends get $25 OFF their first order of $100 or more. You get a $25 reward to be spent on orders of $100 or more.”

Other options, that also address envelopes for you, include Shutterfly and SimplyToImpress.

Note on EXPORTING CardStore.com ADDRESS BOOK: CardStore Exports a .csv file with your addresses, BUT does not maintain the LEADING ZERO in ZIP CODES. #FAIL
