As the days get shorter, the nights colder, and a firelit glow flickers through neighborhood windows, we're reminded that it's time once again to design and send Christmas photo cards to friends and family near and far. This year, create a unique, colorful, memorable Christmas card with Snapfish. Our newly-updated collection of cards features options in every category, from affordable to luxury foil, classic to modern, and no-photo to collage cards bursting with family photos.
At Snapfish, we're known for designing eye-catching, inexpensive Christmas cards without sacrificing quality. While we always have everyday low prices on Christmas cards, those familiar with our site know to watch our coupons, deals, and discounts page for steep price reductions as the holiday season approaches. We offer affordable custom Christmas cards in an abundance of design styles and an assortment of sizes, including 5x7 (in flat and folded formats), 4x8, 6x8, and 7x10.
When you send a personalized Christmas card to loved ones, you're sharing a snapshot of your life - your family, your kids, and maybe even your cat or dog - but you're also spreading cheer for the holiday season. Our design templates offer all of the celebrated hallmarks of season's greetings cards, from wreaths to holly, stars, snowflakes, gold confetti, geometric patterns, holiday ribbons and gift tags, plaids, poinsettias and other florals, ornaments, polka dots, and more.
If you're craving a DIY Christmas card adorned with colorful illustrations of Christmas lights or a wintry pair of mittens and wool cap, you'll find just the card for you and your family. Naturally, our vintage Christmas cards are awash in reds, greens, whites, and golds, but there's also plenty for those interested in current trends like arches and muted pastels instead of traditional Christmas colors.
If you're looking for more than custom Christmas cards, we have bountiful collections of Hanukkah cards, Kwanzaa cards, and New Year's cards, all featuring the newest designs at truly affordable prices. And those open to both Christmas and holiday card greetings are also in for a treat. We've created just the shopping experience for that. Running late this holiday season? Not to worry. You're certain to save money and time when you send Christmas photo cards with us.
Choosing your card style and size
We offer affordable custom Christmas cards in an abundance of design styles and an assortment of sizes, including 5x7 (in flat and folded formats), 4x8, 6x8, and 7x10. This range makes it easy to match your budget and printing preferences with the perfect card format. Whether you prefer a classic bordered finish, a modern minimal layout, or a festive collage that fits multiple photos, you can tailor the look to your family story.
To maximize impact, consider blending a strong focal image with complementary typography. A single, high-contrast photo can stand out on a 5x7 card, while a collage card can tell a bigger story across several smaller images. Use consistent color accents-reds, greens, golds, or muted pastels-to create a cohesive holiday mood across all elements.
Design elements that communicate holiday warmth
Our design templates offer all of the celebrated hallmarks of season's greetings cards, from wreaths to holly, stars, snowflakes, gold confetti, geometric patterns, holiday ribbons and gift tags, plaids, poinsettias and other florals, ornaments, polka dots, and more. These motifs help convey Christmas cheer at a glance and pair well with family photos to create a nostalgic, timeless feel.
For a DIY vibe, choose illustrations of Christmas lights or a wintry pair of mittens and wool cap. Vintage cards often lean into reds, greens, whites, and golds, offering a traditional aesthetic, while arches and muted pastels reflect current trends for a softer, contemporary look.
Practical tips for producing flawless cards
Images are the heart of a Christmas card. Select photos with good lighting, sharp focus, and a clean background to ensure your message is readable. If needed, use Photoshop to adjust exposure, contrast, and color balance so your chosen image looks vibrant on print.
Consider layering in subtle textures or patterns behind your photo to add depth without overwhelming the main image. Typography should be legible: place greetings where the eye falls naturally, and keep the message concise to preserve visual rhythm across the card.

Путь к идеальному дизайну в Photoshop
- Откройте Photoshop и загрузите ваши фотографии в отдельные слои.
- Выберите размер карточки, подходящий формату (например, 5x7 или 7x10) и разрешение 300 dpi для печати.
- Добавьте фон, текстуру или узор, используя слои и маски, чтобы сохранить чистый внешний вид.
- Разместите основное фото как центральный элемент и добавьте декоративные элементы (венки, снежинки, ленты) по периметру.
- Настройте цветовую палитру в духе праздника - красные, зелёные и золотые акценты или более современные пастели.
- Сохраните файл в формате высокого качества (PDF/PNG) для печати, либо экспортируйте готовый макет для онлайн-отправки.
Особенно полезно держать баланс между визуальной выразительностью и читаемостью текста. Простые контрастные шрифты на светлом фоне работают лучше всего для поздравления и информации о семье.
