Who doesn't enjoy photographic greeting cards? Most folks have family members and friends in faraway locations. What a treat it can be to find current photos in your mailbox during the holiday season!
Many families find it challenging to obtain a single group photo that is pleasing to all participants. Not only that, but professionally printed photographic cards can be prohibitively expensive for many families, particularly during the holiday season.
Why not circumvent this challenge altogether? You can create a collage of favorite photos from the year.
As a result, I am free to focus on decorating and preparing for the holidays, instead of fretting over getting those cards out!
gather your materials:
Card stock (100# works well)
Greeting card envelopes (5 ¾" x 8 ¾")
Personal computer
Holiday clip-art
(This is available free online - see links provided, to get you started.)
Digital or scanned family photos
Address labels
(You can also make these yourself on your computer.)
Postage stamps
Select fun and festive graphics or clip-art for the front cover of your card.
Write a greeting (or pick a suitable Scripture passage or poem) for the inside.
Inside the card, you can create a collage of family photos from the past year. Digital photos are simplest, but scanners work well, or pictures can be digitized at most photo shops.
On the back, you can list your current address, phone and e-mail.
Save, and print. Fold, and address. Stamp, and mail.
Voila! That's it!
Here are the simple instructions:
