Create your own photo Christmas cards

Customizing on their site is incredibly easy. You just click on Holiday Cards, select your size (I usually do a 5×7), then you select “Upload my own design.” You upload your photo, and then it lets you play with text boxes for font, size, color, etc. You can upload as many pictures and text boxes as you need and arrange them to your liking. Make certain you request a PDF before you order to catch any last minute typos, and I would always give their free in house designers a call before I printed anything…they can ensure that there is no strange white space or weirdly aligned photos and this service is free. If you did design your own cards in Photoshop or had your photographer design a card, you can upload the full image and then just print your cards out at a great price!

If you are not into creating your own, they have beautiful created cards for the same price and as a huge bonus…you can move the text and image boxes around to create your perfect card with a true designer touch! On other popular sites the best deals I could find, even at 50% off were almost $80 more than Vistaprint for 100 cards. That is fantastic savings at an expensive time of year! The prices cannot be beat and I have been so happy with the quality. One upgrade I always choose is their premium glossy card…it really makes the photos pop. My card last year was my all time favorite. Here is what it looked like front and back. All the images were super crisp, just didn’t translate well to the site!

I have included below some of my past card designs and drafts that I created. I don’t claim to be a designer or to have the world’s most creative or elegant card, but they served the perfect purpose for me. These photos look a little fuzzy, but the actual cards were GREAT quality. The proofs I could copy on the web were just at a much lower resolution.
