A picture-perfect moment for your Christmas cards!
Photo Christmas Cards
Christmas cards are always special, but personalizing them with a favorite photo can make them utterly unforgettable. With our 100% customizable greeting cards, you can complement that snowman, Santa or Nativity scene with a one-of-a-kind photo or design to create the perfect card for your loved ones this holiday season.
What popular photo Christmas card designs are on Zazzle?
Like all our cards, our photo Christmas cards come in many different formats and styles, with everything from vintage to modern designs. You can even choose between a variety of different shapes. However, what really makes our Christmas cards stand out are the photo designs. Here are some of our most popular card types:
- Funny Photo Christmas Cards: Grab your most hilarious and cringiest photos and use them to send your loved ones into peals of laughter!
- Pet Photo Christmas Cards: Put your stockpile of pet photos to good use by adding your best pugshots to these holiday cards.
- Family Photo Christmas Cards: You may not gather together often for a photo, but when you do, the memory is worth preserving. Use last year’s holiday photo as a basis for this year’s card, and make that a new Christmas tradition!
- Vintage Photo Christmas Cards: You don’t necessarily need a sepia-toned photo or historical portrait to match these vintage-themed cards; a modern photo will also work!
- Baby Photo Christmas Cards: Taking baby photos is every parent’s favorite pastime. If you’ve been documenting your baby’s adventures from Day One, then you’ll have plenty of options to draw upon.
How do I personalize a photo Christmas card?
Personalizing a Christmas card with a photo of your own is easy with the Zazzle design tool. We make it a snap to add text, graphics, backgrounds, artwork and photos to nearly any kind of card or gift. Follow the step-by-step guidelines below to make edits to an existing design. Once you’ve mastered the basics, try designing your own custom Christmas card!
- Step 1: Select a design you like. Click on the thumbnail to open the product page and see a close-up of the design, complete with a placeholder photo to show you what the finished product will be like.
- Step 2: On the product page, choose a desired size, corner style and paper type. Clicking on the ‘Details’ and ‘Compare Papers’ buttons will reveal more info about each option.
- Step 3: Click on 'Personalize' and then add images, text and design elements in Zazzle's design tool.The higher resolution your image is, the better it will look when it is printed. We recommend compact, high-quality files like PDFs, and colorful, high-depth files, like PNGs. Avoid compressed formats like JPEGs, which tend to look grainy in print.
- Step 4: Click 'Done' and see your final design! All you need to do now is click ‘Add to Cart,’ which will ready your custom photo card for purchase.
What photo and message should I include?
Choosing the right photo can be difficult. Luckily, we have some great ideas on how to put your album and gallery to good use:
- ‘A Year in Review’ cards, where you share a memory from each month.
- Use your Christmas photo card to announce a baby on the way, a new home or a recent engagement.
- If none of your existing photos make a good card, go the traditional route: a classic, professional family photo.
