Design Crafters

Several Internet-based photo services offer you the ability to design your Photo Christmas Cards directly from their websites.

Shutterfly is one of the easiest sites to do this from.

With Shutterly, you can even specify a collage- say of your favorite photos from the year. They could even be vacation, special occasion or family reunion photos.  And in earlier columns, I offered some tips so you could take great photos of the types I have just mentioned. 

Once you have selected your photo(s) for your Photol Christmas Card, Shutterfly lets you add your personalized Christmas greeting inside.

No need to go to the stationery store and select paper for your card. Shutterfly uses  5 x7 card stock and does this work for you. There’s a choice of a matte or glossy finish. That choice, by the way, is yours.  You can even order personalized thank-you cards with your Photo Christmas Cards order.

Shutterfly can even address and mail your photo Christmas Greeting Cards if you’d want them to do so.  

As with other photo sites, the Photo Christmas Cards creation process on Shutterfly only involves a few steps: 

1. Select from more than 100 exclusive holiday styles
2. Add up to 9 special photos with the collage feature
3. Use text controls to personalize your greeting

Tomorrow I will actually walk you through the process of creating and then ordering Photo Christmas Cards with Shutterfly.
