DIY: Creative Holiday/New Year Cards

Tips from over a decade of experience

It's that time of year! If you're not already into Christmas, Hannukkah and Kwanza shopping, you'd better get going!

One of the things I like to do for my clients is send a New Year's greeting card. I typically print an image on the front that I took within the past year and the inside includes a printed and personalized message.

For years I've used a standard piece of Moab 300GSM Entrada Rag (100% cotton), either Natural or Bright depending on the image. I'd cut the paper to the size I needed to fit into the envelopes, printed both sides of the card, then scored the outside of the card and folded it. That entire process has become far easier, with the advent of pre-sized and pre-scored cards.
