Rather than let some other company make our cards for us, I took this HILARIOUS photo I grabbed of Owen recently (he looks so frustrated at the reindeer hat I couldn't resist!), and using Picnik (free site!) created our card ourselves. Uploaded to Walgreens and had them print as a photo, and then sent in regular envelopes.
Simple, perfect for our family this year.
NEXT YEAR: use the postcard option at Walgreens.com. It costs under $1.00 per postcard, and ends up being about what we spent anyhow between printing out photos, buying envelopes and the return address labels. Write a note on the back of each one (feels more personal that way), use a holiday stamp, and send!
Bonus to this? I can order exactly how many I need and I won't have any random supplies laying around. Plus, who doesn't love a postcard?!
Adorable!! I did something similar with my holiday card added some text, printed it out, used some adhesive to stick it to black card stock and wrote on the back! SO simple!
ReplyDeleteI use picnik too, I was wondering how you got that white horizontal strip at the bottom where you wrote your text on? Thanks!!!
lindsay - under the "stickers" tab, scroll down to geometric. there's a rectangle in there, and i just change the size to what i want, the color to white, and the fade to around 50%.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robyn! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
ReplyDeletePS - I've been knitting up so many of your Casey Cowls for holiday gifting this year. Thank you for that simple pattern! I love it.
