Introduction

Christmas is a time for family, friends, and giving. What better way to spread some holiday cheer than by sending a festive and personalized electronic Christmas card? You can add your own photos and message, and even include a favorite holiday tune. Best of all, it’s free! So get creative and show your loved ones how much you care this holiday season.

What You Need

-An email program
-A digital camera
-Basic photo editing software
-A digital music file
-Special paper (optional)

Instructions
1. Taking the photo: Set up your scene using holiday props such as an evergreen tree, garland, lights, etc. Place your subjects in the center of the frame and make sure everyone is looking at the camera and has a pleasant expression. Use the timer on your camera so everyone can be in the picture. If you don’t have a digital camera, you can use a scanner to scan in a traditional photograph.

2. Edit the photo: Once you have imported the photo into your editing software, crop it to focus on your subjects. You may also want to increase the contrast and brightness or add other special effects. Be creative!

3. Add your music: Most email programs will allow you to insert a sound file into your message. Find a short song clip that you think captures the spirit of the season and add it to your card. If you’re not sure how to do this, consult your email program’s help files or do a search on the internet for instructions.

4. Address and send: Add a personal greeting and the email addresses of your recipients. You may also want to include a brief message in text format in case the recipient’s computer is not able to play the music file. Click send and wait for those smiles!

Step One: Choose a Design

Creating an electronic Christmas card is a great way to send a personal message to your friends and family. You can choose from a variety of designs, or you can create your own. You can also add music to your card to make it even more special.

There are two main types of electronic Christmas cards: e-cards and video cards. E-cards are like traditional cards, but they are sent electronically. Video cards are cards that contain a video message, usually with music.

To get started, choose a design for your card. You can find a variety of designs online or in online stores. If you want to create your own design, you can use an online service or graphic design software. Once you have chosen a design, you can add music to your card.

Step Two: Add Your Photos

Now that you’ve selected your theme, it’s time to add your photos! You can upload photos from your computer, or choose from our library of over 1 million royalty-free photos.

To upload photos from your computer:
1. Click the “Upload Photos” button.
2. Select the photos you’d like to upload.
3. Click “Open.”
4. Add a caption for each photo, if desired, then click “Continue.”
5. Drag and drop each photo into the order you want them to appear, then click “Continue.”

To choose photos from our library:
1. Click the “Choose Photos” button.
2. Search for a keyword or browse by category, then click on the photo you want to use.
3. Add a caption for each photo, if desired, then click “Continue.”
4 Drag and drop each photo into the order you want them to appear, then click “Continue.”

Step Three: Add Your Message

Adding your message is easy! Just click on the “Add Text” button and a text box will appear. Type your message in the box and hit “OK.” Your message will appear on the front of the card. You can also change the font, color, and size of your text by clicking on the “Text” button.

Step Four: Add Music

Now that you have your family photograph and personal message inserted into your electronic Christmas card template, it’s time to add some music! Many electronic Christmas cards come with pre-loaded holiday tunes, but you can also upload your own MP3 files to add a personal touch.

To upload music to your card, first click on the “Music” tab in the top menu. Then, click on the “Upload MP3” button and select the file from your computer. Once the file has been uploaded, simply click on it to add it to your card.

You can also add a custom message that will play along with the music by clicking on the “Add Message” button. This is a great way to personalize your card even further!

Step Five: Send Your Card

Now that your card is complete, it’s time to send it!

There are a few ways to do this:

-You can attach the file to an email and send it to your recipient that way.
-You can upload the file to a file sharing service like DropBox or Google Drive and then share the link with your recipient.
-If the file is small enough, you can even attach it to a text message!

Once you’ve decided how you’re going to send the card, just follow the instructions for that method and then your card will be on its way. Make sure to include a personal message along with your card so your recipient knows who it’s from.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
