Within a week of ordering my first RedBubble cards, they have arrived and I'm delighted with the quality.
Both the 6"x4" cards and the very generous 5"x7.5" cards are printed on 300gsm card with a satin finish.
The inside of each card has a beautiful smooth matt surface, wonderful for writing on.
The quality of the printing is excellent. A few weeks ago I ordered some 5"x7"photo-cards from a large Australia-wide electrical/furniture retailer. With this retailer I had to order a batch of 20 of the same photo card to make the cost reasonable. The print quality and card finish of the RedBubble cards is far superior. I can highly recommend RedBubble whether you are thinking of uploading and ordering some of your own photo cards (you can list your photos as "private" and no one else can see them), purchasing those of others or a mix of both as I did.
For those who are curious (like me) this is what the back of a RedBubble card looks like - your photo title, your chosen name, and the address to your RedBubble profile page.
I can see I'll be ordering some more to use and give as gifts.

ReplyDeleteWow, these look lovely!
ReplyDeleteIts always nice to have your pictures as a real print and not hampered by the electronic gods of your computer. They certainly look great.
ReplyDeleteI can see I'm going to have to take the next step and choose some of my photos and get them ready to post on my own RedBubble page.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you! Your images are so beautiful. I'm glad they turned out so well when printed.
I'm so glad you like them...I've always found them excellent too
ReplyDeleteYour photos look lovely as cards

They look awesome!! I adore your pictures always!!
ReplyDeleteWoh they look super! Must have been very satisfying when you first saw them.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you, thank you for posting this and giving this great recommendation. I have been looking for places that do this and do it well. And btw, your cards are awesome as are all of your photos!!
ReplyDeleteMy cards arrived yesterday! (They got here from Australia VERY fast!) I am thrilled with them! The quality is just wonderful! I wished I'd ordered more, so I will be making another order soon.

ReplyDeletekaren, these note cards are absolutely as wonderfully printed as your actual pictures are viewed! you were so fortunate to find such a reputable printing company! congrats!! ^)^linda
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!!! Thanks for the link...I'm going to check them out. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! And I'll have to remember Redbubble for possibly doing my own. I already make photocards but this is a good alternative.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this!
Szybka droga od pomysłu do realizacji. Gratuluję :-). Kartki wyglądają świetnie i cieszę się, że jesteś zadowolona. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteThe fast track from concept to completion. Congratulations :-). Cards look great and I am glad that you are happy. Yours.
Itz always a pleasure to send and receive 'real' cards. I still cherish the cards that I'd received years ago:)
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you're happy with the results - I had a mini look at the site but must go back and have a proper look. Do you know if you can make calendars with your photos?
ReplyDeleteWow! Gorgeous cards and quality. I've been trying to find a good card printer also! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this with us, those cards look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am glad they have turned out so well, as I had recommended them to another blogger as a way of getting some postcards of her photos!
ReplyDeletewow, those are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards and great to know you highly recommend them. I am definitely going to look into these as I have been wanting to sell some art/cards for a while now. I have an etsy shop but haven't started anything yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethey look great! I have already printed some of my own for Easter, but in different format, I wasn't 100% pleased with it, but it didn't look that bad though.. next time I do it differently..
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards!! I love them.
ReplyDeleteYour cards do look very lovely. I love the shot of the mushroom!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Karen! You deserve a round of applause for your beautiful work and the way you share it!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I think that is such a great idea. And they look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHugs~
i am in awe of your photography!
ReplyDeletegorgeous cards today.

Your cards are beautiful! Just the sort of thing that would be a pleasure to send and receive.
ReplyDeleteThey turned out beautifully, you must be so pleased!
ReplyDeleteOh they look so beautiful!! It is always nice to get something in your hands and really see the quality! :)
ReplyDeleteYour cards came out so beautifully. I agree that they would make nice gifts.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful images on such finely made cards.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, a great idea but I've lost my script-writing skills to go with those cards ever since I've started working with typewriters and then computers. If given a choice, I would've seriously studied script writing, especially with fine fountain pens.
I agree with you on the quality and finish and some of my local purchasers have even commented on how well things are packaged when they buy bigger canvas ones when they get shipped to the UK.
ReplyDeleteI love the backs of mine too and they are wonderful for presents. Thanks for the reminder that I need to upload more to my own shop!
Really nice cards!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cards, Karen.
ReplyDeleteI have had a few friends suggest I sell some of my images as greeting cards or prints to earn some extra money and my first thought was RedBubble. I haven't checked it out yet but I hope thats a possibility? Do you know if it is?
I will definitely be using it to create my own cards though as I'd rather give the gift of one of my images to make the cards more special.
That little mushroom is cute.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards!
ReplyDeleteThe calendars are very good quality too from Red Bubble.
SO PRETTY!
ReplyDeleteI have ordered greeting cards from Red Bubble before and the quality is just excellent!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhh... how delightful. And to learn of this RedBubble site from you (as I've been thinking of how I'd like to take some of my own photos and create some notecards.
ReplyDeleteSo... thank you for the tip... and especially for sharing the gift of your beautiful pieces with us.
Truly a piece of sunshine in my world today!
You have been extra busy. Your cards are exceptional.
ReplyDeleteOh Karen!! These are just WONDERFUL! I cannot wait to check out your shop now! Congratulations on your gorgeous cards and I'm so happy to hear the quality of them is superb. Wonderful news and just beautiful cards! So happy for you. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful cards!!! I will be checking out your store. :)
