You probably feel like you have a million things to do in the days leading up to Christmas. But don’t worry — we’ve got you covered. Preparing for the holidays doesn’t mean that you have to spend hours in front of your computer screen and print device. The most enjoyable part of the season is spending time with family and friends and expressing your love for them by sending them special holiday greetings. And nothing does this better than sending friends an original holiday card that shows your sense of humor and creativity. Many pre-made options are available at local stores, but why not make them personal? Here are some ideas you can use to create unique cards that will make your friends jealous.
Tell a story
One of the best ways to make your friends feel special is by telling a story about them, their family, or their relationship with you. You can write a fictional tale about the first time you and your friends met or make up a silly story about an unlikely event involving all of you. If you don’t feel comfortable making something up, you can choose a story already in the public consciousness. There are plenty of classic stories, both religious and secular, that you can also reference in your card. This will make your Christmas photo postcards stand out from the rest and brighten up your friends’ Christmas morning.
Let your dog be the star
This is an excellent idea if you have a dog that loves the camera like mine. Take a few pictures of your dog and use them to create a themed holiday card for your friends. You can also use your pet’s name to create a punny card. You can also get creative with this idea by dressing your dog in holiday-themed outfits.
Print a photo collage
Another great option for creating a festive holiday card is to make a photo collage using images from your past Christmases and holidays. You can include images of your family when they were younger or even just images of you and your friends when you were younger. You can also use photos of various holiday-themed decorations and lights or even include a photo of your friends’ living spaces decorated for the holidays.
Send some holiday cheer
This card is perfect for someone who lives far away from you or someone who is going through a hard time. You can send your friends and loved ones holiday cheer, letting them know they are in your thoughts during the holidays. You can get creative with this card by sending your friends something relevant to the season.
Add a bit of sparkle
You can make it sparkle if you want to go all out with your card. Find a glitter paper that is meant to be used on paper and use it to create your holiday cards. You can also use glitter glue to write or draw on your cards or sprinkle glitter on the inside for an extra bit of Christmas cheer. You can also use small bits of foil to create your cards. This is a great way to add a bit of sparkle to your cards without making a huge mess. Cut out small pieces of foil and glue them onto your card for an extra shine. You can also use foil to make the edges of your cards stand out. However, you can always opt for great-looking printed holiday cards.
