2023 Holiday Card Design Refresh

For 2023, we've updated our holiday card collection to reflect current trends and enduring appeal. From cards featuring a warm, boho color palette to those inspired by Scandinavian modern farmhouse design to dark, romantic, moody cards, our line of holiday cards is a stunner. Also of note in our collection are cards bearing cheery, muted pastels for a decidedly modern, updated look, and, as well, a number of cards featuring retro accents and stylings that bring a loving touch of the '60s or '70s into your season's greetings. In our beautiful, traditionally-styled cards, look for the inviting textures of herringbone and plaid in shades of red and green, suggestive as they are of cozy interiors and winter dress wear. For the budget-conscious, explore our cheap Christmas cards, and for those who'd like to announce a recent move, take a look at our new address Christmas cards.

How To Personalize Holiday & Christmas Cards

As an enchanting alternative to generic cards from big box stores, photo holiday cards have become the norm, and the appeal of these personalized cards extends far beyond the addition of a photo. After you choose a design template that speaks to your style or sentiments or that features the number of photos you'd like to include, you'll of course jump at the chance to upload your pictures and see them come to new life in the layout. After that, though, you'll be able to further transform your Christmas card into something unique to you. Add your first names, your family name, and perhaps a special, personalized message to those in your circle. You may also wish to change the card format (choose between flat and folded, including gate fold and tri-fold formats), the card size (including 4x8, 5x5, 5x7, and 6x8), and trim (options include square, rounded, scalloped, and ticket-shaped edges).

Customize Your Holiday Card Color & Greeting

Color customization is another wonderful way to transform your holiday card into something just for you. Many of our cards feature various design color options. These represent custom color alternatives for you to choose from—simply click one of the color circles and, voilà—your card is painted anew. A good number of our holiday cards also feature a custom color palette option, meaning you can choose any color combination you'd like. To choose this option, simply click on the color wheel circle and select your desired colors. Font and text color is another area where you can have your say. One beloved customization feature for Shutterfly customers is our Greeting Selector. Available on many of our holiday cards, this tool allows you to—at the click of a button—swap out one holiday greeting for another. This might mean swapping Happy Holidays for Merry Christmas or choosing one of many possibilities.

Add Custom Foil and Glitter to Your Holiday & Christmas Cards

One way to make your holiday or Christmas cards truly extraordinary is with the addition of foil and glitter. Customizing your cards with elegant accents of gold, rose gold, or iridescent foil elevates them in a way that nothing else can. Likewise, by adding gold or silver glitter to your holiday cards, you'll be adding an unparalleled sparkle for the eyes of your recipients. Send luxurious personalized foil Christmas cards, classy foil-stamped Christmas cards, or fancy glitter Christmas cards to make the best impression this holiday season. Also consider adding custom holiday address labels to your greeting cards for extra festive cheer on your envelopes.
