Instructions
In this photo tutorial you’ll learn step by step how to make this Christmas family photo card.
Pre-preparations
Step 1: Choose a nice photo of your family or take a new one. It’s nice to select a photo with a Christmas atmosphere. One of the family members could wear a Santa hat or Christmas sweater for example.
Step 2: Edit and crop the photo into a circle on the computer or phone.
Step 3: Then print the photo multiple times. For example at home on photo paper, in a store or online. It might be handy to fit two circles on 1 photo (depending on the format).
Photo tutorial
Step 1: Take a blank greeting card. Preferably pick a Christmas color. For example red, blue or green.
Step 2: Take the photo and cut out the circle.
Step 3: Put double-sided adhesive tape on the backside of the circle. Then stick it to the card front, in the middle.
Step 4: Cut the two wreath parts from gold-colored paper. My printable template can help you with this step.
Step 5: Stick glue dots on the back of the wreath parts.
Step 6: Attach the wreath parts around the family photo on the card.
Your card is ready now. Have a wonderful Christmas!
