Merry and Bright Simple Elegant Photo Christmas Holiday Card

This simply chic photo Christmas card template features an elegant, minimalist, modern design. The front features your names under your favourite photo and a 'MERRY and BRIGHT' message conveyed with a striking blend of two distinct fonts, with 'and' in a light, flowing script between the other two words, which are in upper case with a bold, crisp formal look. The 'MERRY and BRIGHT' part of the design is in an elegant gold tone called California Gold and can't be altered. But we also offer versions of this holiday card separately in our store with this text in black, and in burgundy, so please check those as well. When you edit the front to show your own names and year,, you might change the colour of that text to black or something else instead of the default California Gold according to your taste. Or you might choose to delete the year from the design. Though the sample text shows a family name, you might prefer to use just your first names, or first and family name, or 'Mr. and Mrs......', etc. when you edit the card to show your own info. On both sides we've set the background as transparent, so that the colour of the paper will simply serve as the base colour. You can choose a specific colour for the background on one or both sides, if you prefer. The default text colour on the back is black, but you can change this to another colour. We've put some sample text on the back for you to replace with your own message as you see fit, but please don't feel restricted by this. If you prefer delete our sample text entirely and keep the back totally blank so that you can write a handwritten note on each card instead, you can do that. Or you might want to replace our text with your own message of holiday cheer and your own closing and then hand sign your names when you receive the cards. In any case, please do remember to remove all of the sample/placeholder text on both sides as well as our sample photo! We've chosen matte rather than semi-gloss as the default paper choice, as it is well suited to writing your own message on and won't smudge. You can of course change this to semi-gloss, or you might consider upgrading to something with a texture such as zazzle's 'Laid' or 'Felt White', which can add a feeling of warmth and depth. We hope you'll enjoy experimenting with various aspects of this stylish modern Christmas photo card's appearance and make it uniquely yours with the intuitive design tools and your inspiration!
