Our Family Christmas Cards from tiny prints

I am so excited that I am going to be able to send out family Christmas cards this year!

The past two years, I didn’t have the time to get them sent out, and I hated that.

Sending out Christmas cards is such a special tradition that is sadly getting lost.  I remember my mom sitting at the kitchen table each year writing Christmas cards to all our friends and family.  And I know how much I love receiving Christmas cards in the mailbox each year.  I especially love cards that have pictures on them.  It is so fun to see how we all change over the years.

So this year, I created my Christmas cards at Tiny Prints.

Tiny Prints is a premier online stationery boutique, carrying all sorts of lovely paper products such as party invites, greeting cards, birth announcements, thank you notes and holiday cards.

They have an amazing selection of Christmas cards to choose from.

I spent a little time looking through all the different choices from flat, folded, tri-fold, and even ornament holiday cards.

I decided on this tri-fold card Snowflake Grid card

The BEST thing about ordering these cards online was that I could just quickly upload family photos that I already had on my computer to the Tiny Prints website and place them in the card template.

I do not know about you, but trying to get that “perfect” family picture for a Christmas card just never happens for me.  And I cannot afford to pay for a professional photographer to take our pictures.

So I uploaded some of my personal pictures into the template and this is what I made:

I decided to not print the pictures in color, but instead went with Sepia.

The tri-fold format allowed me to put several different pictures of our family on the card.

And here is the back:

The cards fold very easily and fit perfectly in the envelope.

I also ordered some matching address labels like these:

Now I just need to find the time to put them all together and get them in the mail!

  1. What a beautiful brood you have Traci! I love the card that you chose, and you have some fabulous shots of everyone to share – no professional required. :-) I have a big stack of photo cards that I ordered, but haven’t tackled them yet. I love receiving them, and I make a point to send them, but it always ends up stressing me out more than I’d like!

  2. Beautiful cards! I also ordered mine from tinyprints.com and I love them! I did sepia as well…I guess great minds think alike! Merry Christmas!

  3. That’s a beautiful card! I managed to find a “Groupon” for photo cards from Vista Print. It was a great deal, but I had no pictures. We managed to get a few good ones over Thanksgiving holiday and the cards were ordered and received…now to tackle the addressing and mailing!

  4. That is so neat! Thanks, Traci! Yes, it has been a tradition for us for years! I used to think it was difficult with four girls, but that was before we added four boys and 8 grandchildren! Still gotta get mine printed and in the mail too, even though we took the pic a couple months back. I did put a sneak peak of ours on my blog a few weeks ago.

  5. Traci,
    What a handsome family you have! God has blessed you richly!!
    I have enjoyed watching you this past year. While you have re-modeled, inspired, had a melt-down proving that you are normal, just like the rest of us, and crafted. You have been a friend to me with your inspiration alone.
    I wish you and your beautiful family a very Merry Christmas!
    Thank you for the card!!

  6. Love your cards. I send family pictures every year except this year the kids are off and just the grandkids and us grqndparents are on. The kids have finally told me they feel they are to old for our cards. Merry Christmas

  7. LOVE your card! The photos are wonderful ~ no need for a professional. These look natural! Great job on the choices and the tri-fold offers a unique way to share more than just one photo.

    I’ve always loved to send and receive cards and the ones with pictures are so special! Just so expensive now and seems so many are choosing not to send them.

    Wishing you and your loved ones all the joys of the season! Yes, it is Merry CHRISTmas in my book.

  8. I adore your cards. What a beautiful family! Merry Christmas to you and your family and yes they are the most important!

  9. I love Tiny Prints. :) I had a friend design mine this year, so I didn’t use TP, but I definitely would have otherwise. I send 350 cards and just got them mailed out this week. I consider it a Christmas miracle, because I have a 10-week-old (our 4th) and thought I might not get it done this year! Love your cards.

  10. Thank you for my virtual Christmas card!! It is BEAUTIFUL!! Can’t believe how many WONDERFUL pictures you got of your family! The nice thing about being a mom of all boys is that we definitely stand out in the picture…ha ha Thanks for sharing it with us :)
