I love receiving my annual stash of photo cards from family and friends from near and far. I have come up with an easy way to showcase those beautiful loved ones and enjoy throughout the season.

Holiday Photo Cards

2. My Holiday Confession
• I have a confession to make. Friends and
family…I have been cutting up your holiday
photo cards for years.
• Don’t get me wrong, I love getting cards from
near and far showing me how much the family
has grown or trips you have taken but they
used to end up in a pile.
• I have created something over the past few
seasons which I think, although I’m taking a
scissor to your work, actually gives your hard
work and time the respect it deserves.

3. Holiday Photo Card Collage
You will need:
-Your holiday photo cards
-Piece of foam board (I used 11” x 14”)
-Fabric scrap – enough to wrap around board
-Scissors, glue, quilters t pins or straight pins

• Your Holiday Photo Cards

6. How to do: Step 1
• Cut out your fabric and wrap your piece of
foam board. Similar to wrapping a gift –
which this time of year you have become a pro
at.
• Keep fabric tight across front. Glue into place
on back.

8. Photo Card Cut Up
• As your mail carrier delivers your daily supply
of cards, cut each one out, obviously keeping
your loved ones visible.
• Just by gluing each of them together, one next
to each other you begin to develop a freeform
collage. And we always have those friends that
send last minute. No problem, just keep
adding onto. You don’t need any special
backing, by creating a collage the photos
become their own surface.

10. • Once you have compiled all your photos, place
on top of your fabric covered foam board and
pin the top corners to hold.

11. HAPPY HOLIDAYS

12. • Even though I have cut up your cards, I keep
this display out to show to others that come to
visit during the holidays and show them how
beautiful all these cards truly are.
• With the array of home photo editing
services, cards are just getting more beautiful
year after year and they deserve a honored
place in my home.
• When the season is over, this collage gets
packed away and I get to enjoy them next year
while waiting for my new supply!

13. With just a couple simple supplies, you can create one-of-a-kind
cards and gifts for your friends and family. The only limit is your
imagination! For more ideas and hints on bringing creativity into
