Recycle Your Christmas Photos into Greeting Cards
While Dina is busy recycling words, great time saving tip, I’m recycling images.
After Christmas each year, I have lots of holiday photos. Plenty of photo ops: my kids at home, visiting college kids, married with kids kids, Christmas parties, parades, lights, decorations. I’m sure I’m not the only one. When Christmas rolls around again, my thoughts turn to photo Christmas Cards. It is November, are my Christmas decorations up? Heck no! We were carving pumpkins 2 days before Halloween.
Decisions, decisions. To me, taking my own photo, making my own custom design greeting card, has more meaning, is more personal than a box of cards from the dollar store, or even a fancy Hallmark Card. My holiday card will stand out from the crowd. But my decorations aren’t up yet, nor do my kids want to pose in Santa hats in November. Today, I’m going through past Christmas photos, deciding which I want to use so I can get my customized Christmas cards out in the mail.
Think about your Christmas cards, what images would you like to use? If you haven’t already ordered your custom Christmas cards, it isn’t too late and easier than you think, as we can help you make your own custom cards on the fly. Think about your customers, friends, family what would they like to see. Photos from last year’s celebrations? I still have this image of a plumber last year, in Santa hat, welding pipe wrench and plunger.

That is a cutie! If you are looking for a place where you can turn your pictures into cards checkout giggleprint.com. It’s a new site that started up earlier this year. They have a ton of design templates to choose from and they are pretty inexpensive. I hope you all have a happy holiday!!!

I can see why you wish to keep passing this card around…how adorable!
Heidi, I take my last years cards, the ones I don’t keep forever…and cut them with pinking sheares and make gift tags from them. Sometimes they still have messages, or parts of messages on the back, which makes them even more interesting.
Happy Holidays!

Sondra,
I checked out Giggleprints. Still prefer SendOutCards for my printing. It has so many other features, and full-size folded cards. However I do see how Giggle prints would work for little notecards to add to a customer’s orders if you were shipping your own products. Would make nice little personal touch thankyou cards.
