About Printable Greeting Cards
Making your own photo Christmas cards and other personalized holiday greeting photo cards, as well as Valentines Day and Easter cards, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Graduation Day or Wedding photo cards is a lot easier than you think. All you need is your favorite photo or photos to get started. Soon you will have your own customized set of digital photo cards to send off to your family and friends.
Printable greeting cards are a great way to keep in touch with family and friends and show off your digital photos. Most online digital photos services offer customized photo cards, allowing you to create your own photo greeting cards such as birth or wedding announcements, birthdays, photo Christmas cards, invitations, thank-you notes, and more.
Creating Printable Photo Greeting Cards & Invitations
Photo cards are simple and fun to create. Online photo services
such as Snapfish where you can choose from over 100 photo card designs, and
Shutterfly
make it easy to design high-quality customized photo cards
and invitations using your own digital photos and personal message inside.
Typically, photo greeting cards are printed on 5x7 card stock
and you can choose from a matte or glossy finish. You just
need to upload your digital photo (or photos) to the photo
service, choose from a selection of layouts and greetings,
and add your personal message. Photo cards usually come in
sets of 20 with envelopes for mailing. Get Discounts on Photo Cards, Photo Books, and Photo Calendars at Kodak Gallery.
Recently the photo book publisher Mixbook started offering photo cards and invitations and they are beautiful. They offer hundreds of customization options for the background, fonts, colors and even embellishments. I made an invitation for my sister's baby shower and I was surprised at all the options I had, and the price was reasonable. You can order personalized cards at Mixbook using this link.
