I have the great honor of being a Guest Designer for today and I'm excited to share my project with you!
Every year I send out Christmas cards and every year it is a card that I designed and send out to get printed. That means I also get family pictures taken each Fall/Winter for the card. My family doesn't enjoy that part very much but they are usually pretty cooperative! One of my little brothers and his wife recently started up a photography business - so they did a little photo session with my family over the Thanksgiving weekend! We did a little trade - he took my photos and I designed some Christmas cards for him to use for his customers. I did about 8 designs for him and since they were already designed - I decided to go ahead and actually use one of the designs for MY Christmas Card this year!
This was the template design:
I used my Christmas Wrap Kit for the papers and created it so the card was really about the PHOTOS, but left a little room for sentiments! I created this template specifically for a 4x8 card from VistaPrint.com.
I always enjoy sharing more than 1 photo on a card, so this was really fun to use. I created the card so you could use 4 photos - but I was able to customize it to actually include 7 photos for my card!
I love how it turned out - such fun colors and full of my family!
Now, something for you! I am offering my template design of this card for you to download today! It is a transparent PNG file, so you will just need to go stick your photos under the PNG file in your graphics program and then you can add anything you would like - text, photos, and other images. Remember my template was created to the specifications from VistaPrint.com to create a 4x8 card. It might not work for other printing companies. Also remember that this is for personal-use only!
Thanks so much for visiting me today! If you have never been to my blog before - I hope you take a look around and come back and see me!
