So let me explain how I was able to get such a good deal on
my Christmas Cards this year! I knew I wanted a simple text on it because
that’s my style, so I found a font I liked online (Pinterest to be exact) and
downloaded it to my computer. I used Adobe Photoshop to write the text on my
photo and saved the file. Since it
was my own custom card, I was able to print it out as a regular 4 x 6 photo!
That’s the main trick, 4 x 6 will be the best deal! If you go a size up, its
almost the same as the Christmas cards they offer. You can go to Costco or
Walmart and print them out there for $0.06 each! That’s 40 Christmas cards for
only $6!!! Or 80 for $12!!! :O
If you prefer your card printed on cardstock which is what I
did one year, you can go to a local print shop to print them on the different
paper options they offer. I love that look, but only saves a little money
compared to the cards you can get from other popular places that have nice
paper options.
If Photoshop isn't an option, you can still print your family pictures the same way (4 x 6) and
add a little note printed from a computer or handwritten note if you don’t mind
taking the time. Or try websites that let you add text to your photos!
I feel good about the route I took this year because I was
able to buy more and spread the love to more people I love! Plus, I saved money which is great so
it could go towards buying gifts for family or donations for this time of year. I was also able to order mine online and pick them up at the store when I went grocery shopping (another huge plus for this momma). Hope you found this helpful!
Happiest Holidays from us to you!

GREAT IDEAS!!! Wow, who would have thought you could make such good-looking Christmas cards for such a low price! I'm going to be sure to use this idea for my family in the future. Thank you La fruGAL!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the support!!
DeleteIf Photoshop isn't an option, you can download a free program online called Photofiltre. It's super easy to use and works great for basic photo editing such as adding text. I use it all the time!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! I knew there had to be another way. Thanks so much for the suggestion!!
