Instructions
Take a picture of your decorated front door, Christmas tree, or other holiday decorations.
Use a photo editor to turn the image into a black and white sketch. Something like
Picture to People
a free online service.
Upload the sketch image into a word processor.
Create two cards per page by using a landscape layout. Make a copy of the image and size the photos to fit the bottom half of the page.
On a second page, type a greeting. Make sure that the greeting is positioned at the bottom half of the page as well.
Print out the two pages and take them to an office supply store and have them copy the pages onto one page.
Use a nice cardstock or buy one there and make copies of the double-sided images onto as make pieces of cardstock as you want.
Use markers to accent the print if you want. We used a green marker to color in the wreaths in this example.
Cut the paper in half and fold to make two cards for each piece.
Stuff into A4 envelopes, address, and mail to all your friends.
