Remember the time when we used to receive greeting cards and postcards by mail?
I used to delight in opening the envelope and taking out the surprise inside. Whether it’s a greeting or a postcard, I’m always touched by messages that I know were lovingly written.
Most people though don’t mail greetings or postcards anymore when it’s so much easier to type an email or send an e-card.
But wouldn’t it be nice to do it like the good old days and send an actual greeting or postcard you can hold in your hand?
Instead of the run of the mill cards you can buy from the bookstore, you can make your own postcards with your own photos or artworks for something extra special.
If you’re not a Photoshop whiz, there are online services that can do this for you for a fee or you can also use some free online tools.
PS Print Printing is an online service that can make your photos into postcards or greeting cards. Whether it’s for a birthday invitation, birth announcement or a Christmas greeting card, you can easily make one online by uploading your photos into their ready-made templates and using their image tools to achieve your desired layout. Their services are budget – friendly too starting at $19.95 for 50 pieces. You can check out their website if you want some professional postcard printing.
If you want to use free online tools, head on over to the Big Huge Labs framer where you can find a variety of frames to put around your photos to make them look like greetings or postcards. Simply upload your image from your computer or from your Flickr account, choose the frame and background color you want and click “Create.” You can easily download and save your photo in a few seconds. Of course, you’ll have to take care of the printing yourself.
I made the my baby Kalia’s photo above with a stamp border frame. 
Whether you choose to have your postcards professionally made or DIY, remember to write your messages with love and a smile.
