What’s awesome about this promo is you do not have to get 50 of the same card. You can get 25 of one design and 25 of another or any combination you choose. It just needs to equal up to 50 or more cards.

After designing your card you have two choices:
You can add 50 cards to your order and enter the code newbaby and pay $4.99 shipping
or
You can add 60 cards to your order and enter the code newbaby and you pay $4.90 (so 9c cheaper). That is because they are currently offering free shipping on orders of 60 cards or more.
This deal is valid on new or existing accounts!
When you choose the Newbaby the shipping is FREE to I have been told when you use the NEWBABY code at checkout. I am doing mine as we speak so we will see if that is the case.

Crystal Cathedral is offering a Free Crystal Necklace for taking a quick suvey. Go HERE and fill out a short survey and they will send you a crystal necklace. It does say that if you would like you could donate but not required.
