Simple Christmas Countdown {day 03}
The past few years I’ve SO enjoyed the simplicity of sending out digital photo cards to our family and friends. When I create my cards I like to make them a standard size and have them printed at my local photo lab, avoiding shipping costs and wait times.
Quick and inexpensive…what’s not to love?
Cross those Christmas cards off your holiday to-do list by ordering pre-designed cards, try your hand at your own digital creations or give one of these FREE designs a try!
You can download the above templates free HERE.

Wow Rebecca! Thank you so much for these free templates…I love them all! And thanks for the links to the other freebies…you’re the best!
Ahh! I JUST ordered my Christmas cards from Shutterly, but wish I had come here first! I loved that brown/green card you did awhile back and now you are making it available to us!! I might either have to just send out some more or make sure I use them next year. I love that design!!! Thanks!
Thanks so much, I was just about to design my own. You saved me a lot of time.
Oh my gosh! I was just searching the internet ALL day yesterday trying to find some Free cards! Thank u thank u thank u!!!
Thank you so much, I really wanted to send photocards this year but shutterfly wasn’t really in our budget so this is such a blessing.
Now I just have to figure out how to add my picture.
Beautiful cards! I love the middle one. You have a sweet family 🙂
I would LOVE to use your bottom template, but after it downloads I can’t get it to open. Is there a way I can get it? I’d appreciate any help. Thanks!
I can’t believe you are all ready making Christmas cards and these are great love them and kudos to you on being ready.
@Mrs. Huse Clifton
heehee, trust me I’m not that organized. this post is from last year. 🙂 Rebecca
I’d love to play around with these, but it says you’ve exceded your bandwith. :/ anyway to fix that?
I love these! And I recognize the truck! It’s still here for when you get back. Thanks a bunch for the templates!
@Anonymous
I’ve changed the download link so you should be able to access them now. 🙂 Rebecca
Thank you so much for these!! I can’t wait to use one for my cards this year!!
I love these!! Thanks
So I don’t have photoshop and am pretty clueless how this works- can I download the template and the put my pictures on it somehow, then send it to Costco or Target to have it printed? Thanks for any advice!!
Wow ! Love these free templates ! I just used them and they are so easy to work with . Simply amazing !
Found you via Pintrest and I LOVE these cards! But after they download my Adobe won’t open them because it says they either aren’t a supported file type or the file has been damaged. Any tips?
My computer won’t let me open the files once I download them. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
@Lissa @ MyThriftyTreasures
Hmmmmm….I’m not too sure what the problem might be Lisa? They were created in PS CS4? I haven’t had anyone else with troubles…maybe try re-downloading them again? So sorry they aren’t working for you. 🙁
@ChrisKatieKelly
You’ll need to open them in PS or PS Elements for the templates to work for you. 🙂
@Tara Dawson
So happy you like them Tara! 🙂
Hi I found this post doing a google search,I love the second one! but I don’t have Adobe Photoshop, is there any way I can use it?
@Stephanie
You do need to use PS or PSE, so sorry Stephanie.
Thank you so much!
Hey Rebecca! these are awesome! do you know of a good tutorial for photoshop on how to insert the pictures? I have PS4 🙂 Thanks so much
These are absolutely lovely, thank you for sharing! I’m just wondering, though, why the apostrophe in “Love, the Cooper’s”? I would only use one if indicating ownership, such as, “the Cooper’s truck is cool”, not “the Coopers are cool”. Am I missing something?
Very nice cards! I’m going to hold onto this post for this coming Christmas. But I’m with Anonymous up there. There shouldn’t be an apostrophe in “Love, the Coopers”.
ok I am using Elements and when I place my pic in the space it is too big. I cannot move my pic at all in the template. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi, would love to use these templates with PSE. Any suggestions on how to get them printed? Target? Walgreens? Professional photo site? Thanks! 🙂

I LOVE these! I used the bottom one and am so excited to print them. Thanks!!
These are great. I’ve done mine but my curiosity was peaked so I downloaded to check them out. When you open in PS though you can’t change the text (add your own name or message) as the fonts were not included in the download files you provided. I’m a Graphic Designer so tried a few tricks to get around it but aside from substituting the font, there is not much that can be done.
Well, these might be all I need to break my i-don’t-send-christmas-cards policy. 🙂 Thanks!
Your cards are beautiful but should read “The Coopers” not “The Cooper’s”.
I would love for you to share this (or any of your other great ideas) at the link party going on now at ‘Or so she says …’. We’ve also got a fun “Favorite Things” giveaway going on right now. Hope to see you there! http://www.oneshetwoshe.com
Hi! I downloaded one of your templates and for the life of me can not figure out how to change the text from yours to mine. any tips?
Sharon, you have to be using the type tool. Click on the text and it should highlight it then you can replace with your own message. Hope that helps. 🙂
Thank you so much for your generosity in creating these! They’re all lovely so the only problem will be in choosing one 🙂 Greatly appreciated!
Thank you for the Free Christmas templates. So sweet of you. Bless you and Merry Christmas 🙂
THANK YOU so much for sharing your talents for free. I’m soooo excited!! You’re awesome!
I am having a hard time getting these to download. Is there a trick? I would really love to use these templates ♥Becca
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing your templates! I loved being about to use them this year.
Thank you! I am not great on Photoshop and was trying to design a photo card. I used your robin’s egg blue one. Thank you!
