Sending Paper Christmas Cards Online? Check These 3 Reasons

By:


Paper Christmas cards or Christmas e cards? This is a very common question when it comes to the most important holiday season in a year.

Most of people choose to send Christmas greeting cards online because they want to save their time and money. However I usually go for paper greeting cards. You may not agree with me, so here are the 3 reasons why I think paper cards are the best choices:

1) Keep the Christmas greetings for a longer time eve a life time.


These cards make sure that your close friends and family members can keep and treasure your personalized holiday greetings. On the other hand, if I ask you where are the Christmas e cards you received from your friends last Christmas, I bet you have no idea where they are.

2) Show people your personality and your care about them.

It's a lot of fun when you send personalized paper Christmas cards by making your own with die-cuts, rubber stamps, or designer paper.

Angel Christmas card is one of my favorite greeting card ideas. It can be made into a holiday card with images of angels as the focus point in the holiday card design. The variation to do it is using Christian clip arts and add Christmas card verse. The clip art ideas are endless. For example, you can use Mary and Joseph in the manger with baby Jesus or the tree wise men, also include the angels too. Another good idea is to add some contemporary Christmas pictures to your card design. Christmas tree, ornament, snowflake, you name it! And don't forget to use "Blessed Christmas" instead of "Merry Christmas" as you're making a Christian holiday greeting card.

If your friends or family members are dog or cat lovers, you can even make a paper Christmas card using cute pet photo. A cute idea is to use any kitty rubber stamps with kittens playing with a ball of thread or doing other cute activities.


3) Family photos - It's the best time to use them!

If you are good at taking digital photos, instead of just another typical card with a picture of Santa Claus or a snowman, or other such typical images, you can now send far more personalized paper Christmas cards that are relevant to both you and the recipient. And the beauty if it is in its simplicity all you need is a digital camera and a computer.

Once you have taken your photos, the next thing to do is to upload them to your computer so that they're easily accessible when you need to transfer them to an online photo site. This is where you can use the various tools that companies such as Shutterfly.com and Tinyprints.com have on their websites. Using these tools, you can add various effects such as festive costumes, additional winter background effects, and many other features your digital camera software wouldn't come supplied with.

I love using these sites because for I who love traditional Christmas cards, I don't need to forego this touch when I using online service to send Christmas greeting cards. Yes, I mainly use them for creating holiday cards and send them without any handy-work, but I can turn them into very good "hard copy" card design just in a few clicks.

Ok, it's very enough to show you why I choose to use paper Christmas cards and make it on your own.

Just imagine when you say "Don we now our festive holiday appear!" or you find your dog love wearing costumes and posing for holiday photos, you know what you should do for your paper Christmas cards.

Have fun!
