Now through Sunday, Oct. 14, try out Cardstore.com's custom greeting card service. It's completely free (including shipping) for new and returning customers.

Within minutes, you can create a card, adding photos, if you'd like, and personalized text. You can even opt to scan in your own signature.

The regular price of a Cardstore.com card is $2.99 so a great freebie.

With more and more folks replacing letters and cards with email and e-greetings, the American Greetings company has come up with a pretty cool promotion just in time for Valentine's Day.

American Greetings is offering you the chance to design your own paper card for 99 cents AND the company will pay the postage to mail it.

It's a bargain for you. And a smart move on American Greetings' part to try to keep the paper card tradition alive.
