- There are three main styles of holiday cards to make online. First, you can create what are known as "e-Cards," which can be designed and sent online so they do not have to be printed. You can usually add animation, photos or graphics and music to e-Cards. You can also make a custom designed holiday card using online software and print copies of it on your printer. These cards can be personalized with photos or graphics and printed on special paper. Lastly, you can create holiday cards online that are printed professionally and then shipped to you.
- Edit or alter and then save photos or other types of graphics to your computer to add them to your holiday card. Use a digital camera to take new pictures or a scanner to copy older ones or illustrations. Save these in a usable picture format. Make use of a free photo editing application, such as Picasa by Google, if you do not have another one. Touch up the photos, alter the appearance and crop each as desired.
- Go online to the website you select for the type of holiday card you want. You may have to register to create an account to begin. Supply the required information. Select the specific holiday you need from the various ones offered. Follow the instructions provided to make your card. Each website may vary slightly, but most are similar. You will have to pick a template to begin, choose verses for it, upload and insert your pictures on it. You may also be able to adjust the colors of it and select various options concerning the font used. Once the holiday card is made, you will have to save a copy of it to email, print it on your computer or place your order for it.
