Christmas Cards Photo Ideas

We all have seen the pictures of nieces, nephews, grandchildren and the kids of friends posed with the local department store Santa.

However you can make your own photo cards of your kids, pets, cars or scenic views. Some department stores and most craft stores have cards that all you have to do is slip your photo into place and sign the card. Most folks who buy these photo cards embellish them with stickers, stamped images and fancy borders.

Photo Christmas cards allow you to let your creative side come out. You can decorate the cards to suit your taste. You can create a humorous mood or give this year’s Christmas card an elegant heirloom feel by using black and white or sepia tones for your pictures.

Many digital cameras or photo programs allow you to manipulate your photos in a variety of ways, by size, color, tone, even turn it into what looks like a pencil sketch or cartoon.

There are sites on line that allow you to choose a card, frame, etc. and import your own picture to create a unique photo Christmas card unlike any other, Smilebox.com is one. What if you don’t want to use a photo of yourself and instead use one of your dog, cat, bird, snake or other pet?

This is becoming more and more common since our pets are a very important part of our lives, especially when the kids are grown and out on their own. Remember those pictures you took while on that cruise last year? Why not use one as your Christmas card design.

A picture you took of a record snow wall this past winter would make a great Christmas card picture. Whether you import your picture to an on line Christmas card, download a Christmas card verse to print on your home computer and a purchased photo card blank. You can probably print ten or more photo cards at home for the cost of one or two good quality cards purchased at a store.
