‘Elizabeth is a professional graphic designer who has done cool holiday cards for friends for years and decided to take it national. For the site, she’s designed over 25 custom templates, then made a special color palette where you can choose what combinations you want to use (over 144 possible combos), upload a photo and customize a message and you’re done. Clever message ideas too, like a q&a-style that is a modern twist on the old-school ‘family Christmas letter.’
I love the idea. I am not too crazy about some of the designs, but that’s just the v-e-r-y picky designer in me. I do like this simple card though.
Thank you Kelly!
(Yes, I said the word Christmas, and yes, it’s only October. We swiss, we
plan ahead.)
Ha! I was just looking at photo Christmas cards, too. Now I don’t feel like such a TOTAL Type A freak.
