Holiday photo cards are definitely a good choice to design along with matching accessories.

Create User-Friendly Holiday Photo Cards on Zazzle

Below is a list of the key elements you need for a successful holiday photo card:

  • design on the 5″ x 7″ flat invitation card
  • have an interesting design on the front and back
  • make sure your templates for your photos and text work properly
  • choose trending color schemes, font styles, and wording
  • Provide different options like 1 photo or 3 photos etc.

Check out my holiday photo card design below which I made to be for 1 photo and also for 3 photos.

Always give people the option for different photo configurations. This design above with one photo easily adapted to create a photo collage option (see below).

 

Sell Real Gold Foil and Silver Foil Holiday Photo Cards on Zazzle

Zazzle has introduced real gold foil and silver foil printing on folded cards just in time for the holidays. This awesome new option provides a whole new set of possibilities for designers, including foil holiday cards.

To start making these foil greeting cards, use this link on the Zazzle forum to get all the information.

There is also a Zazzle chat you can watch to give you even more insight into this new foil printing feature Zazzle has introduced.

Below is the image, I showcase the foil card I made using the same design as my flat holiday card. The foil cards are certainly a great addition to the Zazzle lineup of products for people to send out their holiday greetings to family and friends.

 

Gold Foil Merry Christmas Script Holiday Photo Foil Card

Gold Foil Merry Christmas Script Holiday Photo Foil Card

Just be aware only the outside of the card is printed with foil. Also, you can not add a background color or other elements that do not print as gold or silver foil on the front and outside back of the card. However, the inside printing options are full-color ranges for graphic elements and photos.

Create a Holiday Card without a Photo Option

Not everyone wants to send out a photo on their holiday cards. So make sure you also have a non-photo version of your awesome holiday photo card design. This is my version below.

Create matching products for your Holiday Photo Cards

Customers love matching or coordinating products. You can make address labels, stickers, and postage stamps to match your holiday photo cards. It is a great way to earn more money from the same customer. Here are the matching items I made for my holiday photo card. Gold Merry Christmas Script Red Berries Holiday Label

      Hello Elke, a very nice and detailed article on photocards. I am also a zazzle designer so I just loved this idea. But can you please tell me how to get this gold color which you have used in this “Merry Christmas”. Also the font which you have used.

      Thanks so much for all your amazing tips

    • Farzana

      Thanks Elke, you are an inspiration for me. I read all your blog posts.I have just started my journey with Zazzle and opened a store early this month. Thanks for the insights.

    • Robert Wahl

      Farzana… I’ve been on Zazzle almost two years and was lost and overwhelmed. I had total earnings of $8.05 and was stuck there. I just threw up products that had no consistent theme, no rhyme, no reason, no nothin’…. that is, until I took Elke’s courses. I’m on much better footing now with Zazzle and how to tackle it than I ever was before. I hope to grow from here… thanks to Elke’s wonderful courses!

    • Robert Wahl

      Elke… I wondered the same thing… where did you get your Gold? However, when you do use Creative Mkt. gold fonts, they have to be part of the design and can’t be a template. Right?

      Hi Elke,

      Many thanks for your article, very helpful. I am now trying to find the blank envelope template on the .co.uk site but it doesn’t seem to exist, could you point me in the right direction..?!
      Best wishes, Karen

      Thanks Elke, that’s very helpful:) Karen
