We’re known for our gorgeous photo books and calendars but this year we’re starting a new tradition with personalized photo stationery cards. Our new 4×8 Flat Stationery Cards are a fun and festive way to send well wishes to everyone on your list. Unlike those flimsy photo paper cards you get at the drugstore, Inkubook photo stationery cards are professionally printed on thick, premium cardstock.

Choose from several different backgrounds, layouts, photo borders and up to 4 photos to make this year’s holiday card uniquely yours. Or, if you’re a digital scrapbooker, you will love our Do-It-Yourself full-bleed card template that allows you to upload custom layouts. If you plan on making a photo book or calendar anytime soon, you also have a chance to sample a free set of our new cards.

Place any book or calendar order of $30 or more by Friday, November 6, 2009. Enter code FREECARDS during checkout and we’ll send you a personal coupon code good for a set of 12 cards with envelopes. You must then redeem your free card coupon by November 25, 2009 and pay applicable shipping charges. One use per customer. Not valid with any other promotion or offer.

While it might be a little early to look ahead to next year, it’s never too early to start working on a personalized photo calendar. At 19×13.5 inches, the Super Big Calendar can hold more than 100 of your favorite photos. We have updated templates for 2010 so you can get a jump on making one of the most popular holiday gifts of the season.

Make your Super Big Calendar by October 31, 2009 and enjoy complimentary standard ground shipping to U.S. addresses (or $8.99 off any other shipping method). Just enter code SHIPCAL10 during checkout. (Code may be used once per customer. Not valid with any other offer or promotion).

The fall season is almost here and for many of us, that means football, tailgating and good times with family and friends. We’re celebrating the start of the new season with all new book sizes and cover styles. We’ve bolstered our photobook lineup with the 7×5 Mini Brag in hardcover and softcover styles starting at just $9.95. Plus, you can now make the 8.5×8.5 Simple Square in hardcover and the 8.5×11 Ultimate Portrait in softcover. Have you already made a Simple Square softcover or Ultimate Portrait hardcover and want to change to one of the new cover styles?
