Make Your Own Christmas Cards
Then print or send your cards by email
Yesterday, we spend quite a bit of time looking for a free site where we could create Christmas cards to download and print. We looked for a site that allows users to upload pictures and use them in their Christmas cards. We also wanted a site that gave users a large selection of Christmas card templates to help great them started. After being disappointed many times by sites claiming to be free, then wanting to charge users for the good stuff, we found Greetings Island.
Not only did Greetings Island offer everything we were looking for – they also allow users to send eCards by email. And they’re even animated. They offer all kinds of cards, birthday cards, Valentine’s cards, friendship cards, sympathy cards, and more. But Christmas season is here (almost), so we’re focusing on Greetings Island’s Christmas cards
First, you’ll notice that you’ll have the option of choosing to create a folded card – like you would buy in a store or a flat card you can download as an image. Unless you have a reason not to, we suggest you choose “Folded”. Not only can you download and print your card, but you can also send it as an eCard. And the eCards are very nice — as we’ll soon show you.
Greetings Island has a nice selection of templates to choose from – making it easy to get your Christmas card project started.
We’ll tell you this, to use Greetings Island, you have to create a free account. You provide a name and email address and that’s it. We created an account, then dug right in creating a quick Christmas card.
We picked the cute snowman template.
Then I added some text – in our case I wrote a little poem. You can write anything you want, choose different fonts, font sizes, and colors – and even add your own images.
If you like you can even add your own creative touches to the back of the card. See?
And the templates offer many customizable options, for example…
When you’re all done creating your masterpiece, you can download it and print it. Or you can choose to send it by email as an eCard… and not just any old eCard — but one with cute animation as well.
We sent you all an animated card – you can see it here. Just click the card to open it, click again to see the back of it, click again to go back to the beginning.
If you want to have some Christmas fun and you’re feeling creative, visit our Cloudeight site pick “Greetings Island” right now.
Everything we did on Greetings Island was free. All we had to was sign up for a free account with a name and an email address. The site is supported by ads and those who pay for premium accounts. If you find Greetings Island just what you’ve been looking for, besides the free account, they offer premium accounts as well. If you’re artistic and into creating and love sending cards and eCards, look into a premium account. It’s $2.95 a month or if you pay annually it’s less than $2 a month.
I’ve been using them for a few years now. It is a wonderful program. TY for posting about them.
Greetings Island has been my preferred site for all occasion cards and notes. I’ve also used the template to make a matching envelope for the card, which is handy when creating cards of different dimensions.
Thanks for posting this … I’ve shared it with many friends.
Hi I make my own in word. It is simple and effective
Would you like this years TC
Cheers
Sorry TC and Darcy, but the Christmas cards that are offered here are a pathetic, self-centered rendition of
the corrupt interpretation of the meaning of Christmas. There is not a single representation among the choices avaiable that illustrates the true meaning and focus on what “Christmas” is really all about. ..the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Hi JP. You can make your cards by using a photo from your computer and you can also change the wording. They are very easy to edit.
Thank you so much for sharing this site. In hospital right now but soon as I get home will use Greetings Island for my cards.
Hope y’all have a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you so much for sharing with us. Can’t wait to try it. Have a great day! 🙂
It says 5 day free trial. And if it is free why Credit card. They can find my location by
my address so no need for a credit card.
I have no idea where you’re seeing this. They offer a premium account for $2.95 a month. I used the free account and never received anything about a five-day trial. I think you clicked on Premium. You know, we really honestly spend time researching this stuff. We never recommended or used the Premium account…we only mentioned that it was available for those who may be interested.
I used to make a card occasionally until I found this site. I found I was using too much ink & paper.

For only $20 for one year or $30 for two, you can send as many animated cards as you like. There are all categories to choose from.
Neat! I will give it a try and thanks for the card! You’re funny! Lol.
Hey, you made a mistake on Darcy’s name in your poem. But have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year anyway! Thank you so much for all you do for us computer geeks!
Very Cool! Thanks! I love these kind of things!! And better that it’s free!
Everytime I try to down load this, something called “Wave” wants to become my browser. Emsisoft says it is dangerous but I don’t know how to bypass this to get to the Greeting Island. Anyone else have this problem?
This is a web app, you don’t download the program. There is no program to download,…sounds like you’re clicking on an ad.
Is the Quick Search Tool needed for Greetings Island?
