BTW, that\u2019s my secret to never paying full price for my cards! The card deals usually only last a few days before expiring, so it helps to have already planned out my card so I don\u2019t have to rush.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I love to do is play with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/christmas-holiday-photo-cards-2013\/\">card designs<\/a> and try out a bunch of different ones \u2013 another reason to start early because I experiment with lots of different designs and layouts before I narrow down my choices and create my final card.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Sometimes to save money I have picked a flat photo card because they are very reasonably priced, often between 40 and 70 cents each. But I really like using folded cards so I can maximize the space and include more photos. If you catch a good sale, you can get a pretty good bargain. Plus, there are some really beautiful designs available and the paper quality I have found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=214247&amp;u=127549&amp;m=19751&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\">Mixbook<\/a> and My Publisher in particular makes a very elegant card.

Examine the composition. Is there room for text or design at the top or bottom, or will it obscure something important, like your smiling face?<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Below<\/strong> is an example: In the first layout the little boy is blocked by the red banner. The second layout is a better choice since there is little \u201cdead space\u201d in the image for text. A third alternative is a vertical design using more of the lower end of the image so the kids don\u2019t get cropped as much.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/snapfish-card-choose-right-layout1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-745\" title=\"snapfish-card-choose-right-layout\" alt=\"Keep your photo compositon in mind when selecting a card design.\" src=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/snapfish-card-choose-right-layout1.jpg\" width=\"690\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/snapfish-card-choose-right-layout1.jpg 690w, http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/snapfish-card-choose-right-layout1-300x96.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #2:<\/strong> When filtering cards by \u201cnumber of photos\u201d it usually refers to the number on the cover only. Oftentimes there are spots on the inside as well as the back cover where you can place addition photos. I think it\u2019s nice to do a photo collage on the inside cover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #3:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t want to use all the photo boxes inside or on the back, you can leave them empty and the card will print with that area left blank. Mixbook allows you to customize everything, and I mean everything, so you can add or remove photo or text boxes anywhere on the card.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #4:<\/strong> Often within a card design there are several color choices. Experiment with different colors. Maybe changing from the original green you chose to blue will make your photos pop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/shutterfly-holiday-card-colors.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-738\" title=\"shutterfly-holiday-card-colors\" alt=\"Shutterfly and a few other companies offer designs with multiple color choices.\" src=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/shutterfly-holiday-card-colors.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/shutterfly-holiday-card-colors.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/shutterfly-holiday-card-colors-300x123.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #5 <\/strong>&#8211; Edit your photos. Is there something distracting in the background that should be removed? Do the colors or exposure need adjusting? What about red-eye? I recommend you make all edits first in your editing software. While some companies offer basic editing like exposure or red eye removal, you won&#8217;t be able to do much else. I like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/adobe-photoshop-elements-11-review.htm\">Photoshop Elements<\/a> for this. Their content-aware fill tool is awesome for removing unwanted backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>After you winnow down your design options and edit your photos, start playing with them. Upload some photos. Nowadays you can usually upload photos from a variety of places besides your computer, like Facebook, Flickr, PhotoBucket, Picasa, Smugmug, and even Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>You can change the fonts, swap out the font color, and, if you are using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=214247&amp;u=127549&amp;m=19751&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\">Order personalized cards at Mixbook<\/a>, move photos and text around and add different backgrounds or stickers. Or if you want to be quick about it, Mixbook has a new 30-second card editor. I tried it and it really is fast, but of course you need to already know what design you want to use. Then you just drop in your photo(s), add your text and order.<\/p>\n<p>So, time to get thinking about either taking new photos or going through your collection for the year and selection your favorites for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/in-pursuit-of-the-perfect-holiday-photo-card\/\">your holiday card<\/a>.
