I've been searching and searching on Shutterfly on how to upload my own 7x5 card that I created in Photoshop. It seems as if they will only allow me to create a card using their {holiday} templates? I just want to print my own flat stationary cards and have envelopes with the order so I can mail them out. The only thing I can think to do is to just order them as regular prints but then I won't get the envelopes. Any suggestions? I was thinking about doing this with Costco (much cheaper for the prints) but no envelopes (for a 7x5) come with the order. What to do...:shrug
 
Well I've printed my cards via WHCC for several years, but this year I'm thinking about Persnickety Prints. I've been a huge fan of them since printing my pages with them. They were fantasticness.
 
Grrr....I was planning on Shutterfly because we get a free GC for them with our Santa pictures we get at the mall...but if I can only use their stuff than I think I will go with Persnickety too :D
 
I get double-sided (so I can write the Christmas letter on the other side) 4 x 8 cards done at Vistaprint, and they come with envelopes.
 
i went thru on shutterfly and did the 5x7 but used the classic with one photo. then disregarded all the text stuff.

yep this exactly. if you use their 1-photo layout, you can insert your file as the 1 photo and disregard all their other mumbo jumbo.
 
i did mine with WHCC last year and am planning to use them again this year - but prior to that i used shutterfly. but yea, they don't make it easy to figure out how to use your own full bleed pic, but it can be done ... good luck! make sure to share your card with us for inspiration :) (you may have already done that in the other thread - LOL - i'm headed off to read that now!)
