it sounds like sh, but it is not. your tongue should be on the top of your hard palette, but not touching your teeth, your vocal chords should not vibrate with this sound, and it is made with air being blown out gently so it sounds kind of like someone with a lisp, but really not like that. hard to explain.

the first xie has a tone that is hard to describe online, start higher and harshly finish it as if it is an exclamation. the opposite of asking a question, liek the reverse of that. say the word what? and then reverse it, and i think that should be write, it is hard to explain. the second xie has no tone.

sorry, does that help even if it is too late?

ah i forgot about the vowel sound. i was just talking about how to pronounce the x.

so the vowel sound is -ie, and it is kind of a fast ee-eh sound, kind of like xyea hxyeah but not elongated at all, short.

they usually have some simple saying or greeting on the back, like good luck or hello or something. I do not think they have translations of the respective fortunes on their backside.
