Making your own photo Christmas cards
and other personalized holiday greeting photo cards
as well as Mother'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
Photo cards are simple and fun to create. Online photo services
such as Shutterfly
and PhotoWorks.com
make it easy to design high-quality customized photo cards
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.
Photo Stamps
Once you've created your photo card, you can even create
personalized postage stamps
using your own photo.
