holiday cards idea #1: buy a template

Time to get out the address list and start addressing your cards!

If you’re going to get photo cards this year, chances are that you’ll order them on a template and get them printed through a local or online store.

You could then print out the image on photo paper like a normal print or on a card! Shutterfly ($.65), Vistaprint (on cardstock for around $0.23), Mpix ($.42), Winkflash ($0.23/card w/envelope) and others all offer 4×8 printing for the wide sizes, and almost everyone offers 5×7 prints!
