Default Shutterfly card - front and back

Hey ladies - maybe this was posted already, but I can't seem to find a way to print a custom photo card front and back at Shutterfly. Is this possible?

I don't know that it's possible there. Vista Print allows for 2 sides... but their quality isn't as good

I couldn't find a way to print two-sided either. I found a company that would do it, but I could not find a single photo full-bleed option on their site. I ended up going with Shutterfly and then my plan is to print the back on regular paper (since it's mostly just text anyway) and glue it on myself. Somewhat primitive, but I think it'll work!

Myra, I do my two-sided cards with WHCC. Excellent press printing quality. I'm sure there are others that may be cheaper, but I've used them for many years.

Cassie . . . I can't figure out how to use WHCC unless as a business. I don't find a way for an individual to use them. I registered but needed to send samples of my portfolio to them for some reason. I must have done something wrong! (not unusual for me! LOL)

Cassie - I ended up printing with WHCC, which has been my go to for years too. Never been disappointed - ever. But I had a coupon for Shutterfly and wanted to give it a shot. WHCC is easy and it just works.

ETA: Mollie, they treat each client as a professional photographer who is printing for their own clients. I did the process you described years ago. If you just get it out of the way, it's worth the trouble going forward, promise.

Myra I use overnight prints every year for my double sided cards. If you do the premium printing they are awesome. They had a black friday special so I got them for next to nothing this year. My only complaint is that you do have to get them in early or you pay and arm and a leg for shipping.

I think Shutterfly should give us the option of inserting a photo (all dolled up with digi goodies of course) on the front and back, just like we can with their calanders. If we all call in and make the suggestion, maybe they'll make it an option with the popular demand! I love their quality, prices, and coupons...and how you can keep adding and adding coupons!

Has anyone used scrapping simply double sided flat cards? That's who I'm looking at for this year.
