Photos in and on your holiday cards are such a great way to share your family. I save the pictures from the Christmas cards I receive from friends and family each year, and love looking back at old photos.

Creating photo cards with My Digital Studio (MDS) is so fun, and dare I say even a little addicting. I decided to “digitally stamp” my Christmas Cards last year (click here to view > ). The great part is, they are totally customizable. You can make them postcards or full cards. With MDS you have the option to either print them out yourself on your home printer, or have them professionally printed through MDS. You can even customize the inside, write a note, etc. It was so cool to be able to put photos on both the outside AND inside of the card.

I’ve started to create some MDS photo card designs, along with digital stamps and accessories I used to create them. Once I started designing these, I was having so much fun I just kept going.

MERRY CHRISTMAS PHOTO CARD:
This is was created using a 5×7″ photo card template (part of the MDS program). The photo was taken with my underwater camera, and I used the MDS Photo Effects to make it black and white. The “Merry Christmas” stamp is from the All Holidays digital set that comes included with MDS.
