Baby Christmas Cards

Sorry it's far too soon to be saying the C word, but I feel like November is hopefully a semi-reasonable time Grin

It's my baby's first Christmas and I'd really like to have some Christmas cards made with his footprint. I was hoping to take a picture of the footprint in some kind of design and then have this made into a load of cards, but I can't seem to find anywhere to do this without paying £5 per card on Etsy. Has anyone done this and have any recommendations?

Thank you!

Mary

Get some baby safe paint and make your own! Much more fun and cute Smile we turned our baby's footprints into Christmas trees and reindeer!

Ahh that does sound lovely, but not sure if he'll put up with making 30+ cards as we've got a lot of family 😬 That's why I was hoping to do his prints once with non-toxic paint and then have these printed Smile

We make a card every year with a photo of the DSs. Moo is fab for getting them printed up.

You can turn a foot or handprint into a reindeer which is a bit more festive. Just make one and print a load off.

Oh wow, I love that! Do you just literally print them onto card yourself? Sounds good, might just have to work out how to get the printer to print it like a card!

Yes, if you want to do it cheaply, just photocopy the original picture and mount it on some folded card. I think you can buy blank cards with envelopes. I love receiving home made cards! Xmas Smile

The TouchNote app might also work. Take photo of baby/footprint/both, upload and buy a pack.

I like this one if you're feeling artistic!
