Are you tired of making the same old holiday photo cards during the holiday season? Are you thinking of something unique to give to your friends and relatives? Holiday photo cards with a personal touch are one of the exclusive and creative ideas of sending out greetings for the holidays. They can range from fun to serious. They create an immediate impression on the recipient.
Here are the main things to consider when making holiday photo cards.
Photos
The first step in personalizing holiday photo cards is picking the right images. When choosing a standard photograph for your holiday greeting card, you have two main options. First, you can use your digital pictures from throughout the year and choose one that will work well for the card. Ensure you look for a picture that tells a story. If you can’t find the right photo, you can gather everyone in front of the fireplace to get their photo taken at once.
You also not limited to using a single image. You have the option to use two or three. Then arrange them in a unique style. You can make the pictures look like a flower, or a tree bringing the idea of a family tree with all the family members included. Remember, you can be as creative as you want, and the style you choose should be a reflection of your personal style.
Text
Most holiday photo cards have a minimal amount of wording. They keep it simple and generally say who it is from along with a greeting or sentiment. However, proofread the text before sending them out to ensure there no spelling mistakes, and they have been addressed to the right person.
Design
Holiday cards can come with a flat or folded design. Flat design is simple to make and easy to send out to friends and family members. You may not prefer this version if you want to add a personal message to the recipient. For the person who wants just to wish a happy holiday efficiently, the flat card can be a good choice.
A folded design can include a printed message that is revealed when the recipient opens it. It can also be signed by an individual or everyone in the family if they are old enough to do so. Adding a personal message or greeting makes the card even more special for the person it is addressed to. This is your opportunity to tell the people you care the most for how much they mean to you.
Colors
When making holiday cards, you have a rainbow of colors to choose from. You are not limited to the usual holiday colors, such as red, green, and white. Use your imagination to choose a background color that will make the photos stand out and text on the cards highly visible. Choose colors that are lively, bright, giving a more uplifting and energetic impression.
To give your holiday photo cards a professional touch, upload your digital pictures to an online store to make your cards. Depending upon the store, you may be able to add borders, text on the inside, and text on the back. You can have them sent to you for addressing and mailing or do all of that online as well.
