Busy schedules during the holiday season prevent working citizens from writing personal greeting cards to friends and family. In an era where people must work two jobs to pay phone bills and mortgage payments, working citizens are lucky when they find time to shop for holiday gifts. To help people stay in touch with their loved ones during the holiday season, companies have created greeting card software programs.
Computer generated cards are all the rage these days due to their customizable designs and low cost. Since people like to trade individual or family portraits, card software programs have allowed customers to make sets of cards from individual portraits, family portraits, or combinations of both.
To make greeting card sets, people must first purchase a software program. With the program, they can create a professional looking holiday card using an original template, of which they have dozens to choose from, or they can create a simple photo card. Either way, they require a digital camera or a compact disc containing the portraits they want to use. If people don’t want to use a portrait or a combination of portraits, they can use an image of an object or a nature photo or create a collage with those images.
After uploading the desired portraits or images into the program, individuals can write a custom title message for the front of the card and a holiday message for the inside of the card. People also have the option to customize the text. Thus, the title message can appear as snow or a shiny ribbon and the holiday message can further warm hearts with festively colored text.
Once people create greeting card sets, they can save the original card as a JPG, PNG, or BMP image file. This allows people to print and send more holiday cards if they forgot a distant family member or two in the initial print batch.
In addition to the holiday season, the software programs are ideal for every holiday and celebration. Template themes make greeting card sets customizable for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Independence Day, birthdays, seasons, sporting events, and more. To create a valuable greeting card, people simply need to upload a photo and add a message.
When in a hurry and short of money, people can use greeting card software programs to make sets of cards to remind friends and family of their love and kind regards.
