Christmas Cards
Anyone done theirs yet? Any good ideas for them? Show it off, please!
I haven't decided what to do yet. Take a new picture. Use one from vacation this year like I did last year. Something different. I don't know. |

I haven't done one this year yet but I have an idea of what I want to do, a picture of just the kiddos in the desert. Last year I did an infographic card and I loved it.

I think I'm going to design my own Luxe card this year and print them with mpix pro... I have or outfits all picked out, but still need to take our picture... I will probably do that either this weekend or next week.
I have decided to cut back on our list. Last year, we sent out like eight. I'm thinking fifty this year. |

Your card is so pretty! I love the embossed white paper, it's stunning.

Mine are done. Ordered them last night.
I changed it up this year...5x7 instead of the usual 4x8. It's also the first time in years that I didn't design it myself. And seeing as the website won't let me have the picture, I'll have to wait until I get them to post one...

I'm going to combine baby announcement and Christmas cards this year -- so if anyone has some fabulous ideas -- I would love to hear/see some ideas! The baby will be here on Nov 21st, so I think I'll take some pics of the 3 kiddos together for the card.

Heather - we got a combo card years ago that said "Our Christmas gift came early, that's why this card is late"
|

We had two friends last year who did a Christmas card on the front and a baby announcement on the back...

I'm considering sitting it out this year, too. Our relatives have never been big card senders and fewer friends send them every year, so the 30 or so I've been sending feels like too many. DS has a few relatives who live too far away to see the kids and like getting a yearly photo, so I may just send a hybrid card with a photo inside to those few people. (And when I say "few," I'm talking under 5.)
With a Nov. due date you should be good. DD was due Dec 25th, but by Dec. 4th the docs were saying she'd be born within a few days. I'd been just about to send cards, so I made the mistake of deciding to wait and prepared a combined announcement and New Year's card. She made us wait until 12/26, so no card for us that year.

Bumping this thread hoping that since a couple of weeks have passed, there are some more cards to show off. I haven't started mine yet.

I haven't done mine, but I'm going to take a pic of the kids with a strand of lights around them and then plop it into one of the gorgeous cards from Kristin's gorgeous Christmas collection bundle

I turned this layout into our card. the journaling is on the back of the card and on the front it says Merry Christmas from us instead of the our year thing

This is the third year that I've done a collage of photos from the year and a bullet list of highlights. Everybody seems to love it and it just gives a quick glance as to what our year was like. It's also just really hard for me to get the four boys at their ages to take a Christmas photo. So it's much easier just to take photos from throughout the year of them doing all their activities.
I used Shawna's photocard collages this year and it made it much easier! Oh and then I print them myself. Last edited by maryinaz; 11-24-2012 at 06:36 PM. |

I've made some Christmas cards so far. I bought some mustaches for our family photo that I will use to make a photo card and send it to some family members.

Hey, Mari... where do you get them printed? I'd love to do mine double-sided this year. Then I could do a back side with a photo of the whole family.
|

|
||||
vistaprint does double sided, thats where I ordered mine so I could do that

Are they good quality? I got a card from Vistaprint from a friend a few years ago and it was grainy.

I did double-sided from them a few years ago and they were great. I also did my son's graduation announcement insert double-sided and they again were amazing.
Could your friend's picture have been lowesolution? |

I trust you gals though! I will look into them. I've been doing Costco, but I'd rather have a nice thick cardstock than a photo-paper card. |

I would HIGHLY recommend WHCC. It's free to become a member and you get 5 free 8x10's when you sign up (for color calibration). They also send you samples of their different card stock options. I always get my cards printed there. They have loads of shapes (including round cards that can be made into ornaments). Two-sided cards on semi-gloss card stock start at $16.55 for a set of 25 (includes envelopes and shipping).

These are awesome! I usually go all out with fun photo cards but I think I'm going to skip them this year. I have box after box of store bought cards sitting in my stash. I think I'll just send them out and toss a few 4x6 prints in the envelope. It feels like the lazy way out and, as a scrapper, I always feel more is expected of me... but, really, I don't think anyone even looks at them. No one ever comments on them, or even mentions that they got the cards. It feels like a huge waste of time. Gosh, I feel like Scrooge. LOL! I've done some cards over the years that I absolutely love but I'm just not feeling it lately.

Vistaprint. Its really cheap. I also got them on linen paper. They have lots of options, but its still cheap. This is the 3rd year I have had them do them and I have liked them every year. I'm not sure what's up with your friends, I really liked all of mine.

Mine is a 5x7, I did a 4x8 or a 4x6 before and it was too small and I don't like the long skinny ones.
