out.\u00a0 So did the recipients.\u00a0 Today we are going to share how easy it is to make your own DIY Christmas note cards.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Use Fabric or Paper You Love<\/h2>\n<p

that you love.\u00a0 It could be a pillow fabric, curtain fabric, plaid flannel shirt, napkin, or table cloth.\u00a0 You get the idea.\u00a0 It could even be wrapping paper or a piece of scrap book paper.\u00a0 Take a high resolution photo of it, and edit it in Picmonkey or any photo shop of your choice to sharpen the colors.<\/p>\n<h2>Select a Printing Company<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align:

Vistaprint or Shutterfly.\u00a0 There are tons of printing companies out there and many are having specials right now for the holidays.\u00a0 You can even use a local reputable company.\u00a0 Use the printing company&#8217;s format to design and layout your card.\u00a0 I am not good at things like this, and believe me that if I can do it, you can do it.\u00a0 I even attempted a monogram.\u00a0 I used Vistaprint, by the way, just because I have used them in the past and am familiar with their process.<\/p>\n<h2>Dazzle Your Friends<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\"
