I am looking for a new Christmas Card idea this year, without spending a ton of money. In years past I have used Sam's photo cards and they are okay but I would like something a little nicer this year. Preferably I would like someone who can design a card with a few photo's and a custom message, and either send me the file and I can print them or depending on price I will have them print them. Does anyone know of someone good who can do this? Anyone have any more creative ideas that work better?
I found someone that designed my card very quickly, it turned out great, and she is very very affordable. She only charges .80 per 5x7 card, everyone else wanted close to $2. I have not recieved the pictures yet, but she is a stay at home mom just doing something on the side to stay busy! I think they will be great www.babyfreshdesigns.com
I like to use Snapfish.com for my christmas cards. You upload the pic then pick from formats on their website. You can buy them in packs of 20 and I think a lot of them are only 39 cents a piece.
If you have a digital camera, you can upload your pictures to an online site and design your own Christmas cards from there. This year I know that both Shutterfly and Kodak Online have options to put more than one photo on a card with your own message on any number of card designs. We used Kodak last year and have used Shutterfly for all of our photo developing and have been very pleased. Good luck!!
I see that someone else already mentioned this ...Kodak.com or kodak gallery I think they are called has some really cute ideas.
Good luck
Hello E.,
My husband and I do personalized cards. I can email you some of the thumbnails of Christmas cards that we have done in the past couple of years.
And found that printing it through walgreens like a 4X6 or 5X7 has worked for several people.
If interested email me.
E.,
I'm a freelance graphic designer, I do this type of thing all of the time. If you are interested I can email you my portfolio & we can go over some ideas. Thanks!

You can have a friend take some pictures for you. I use snapfish.com for all of my photos (10 - 12 cents a picture). They also make Christmas cards too. If you're interested, could you let me know before starting an account (free by the way)? For every person who comes in with you as a reference, you get 20 free photos. I would love for you to use me as a reference. Good luck!

I think we're going to use this site this year. A friend of mine used this company for her birth announcements -- they also do holiday cards and they can incorporate many photos in one card.... they look nice!
