Upload Your Own Design Christmas Cards

Bring your own artwork to life with Upload Your Own Design Christmas cards from Shutterfly. Start with a finished design you created yourself, with a designer, or in another design program, then upload it to the card template that works for your layout. This option gives you the freedom to create Christmas cards with your own photos, artwork, colors, typography, and holiday message while getting the quality and finishing options of a professionally printed card.

Why Print Your Own Custom Christmas Card Design

If you want creative freedom from edge to edge, Upload Your Own Design Christmas cards let you build a card that’s truly your own. Instead of starting from a pre-built layout, you’re designing the artwork and simply using our platform to print it on premium card formats. Some of the top reasons to choose this option include:

• Full creative control over the entire Christmas card layout
• The ability to print a holiday card you designed in another program
• A polished, professional finish that brings your artwork to life
• The flexibility to match your design to your brand for business holiday cards
• Freedom to create nontraditional, artistic, or minimal holiday looks

Customize Your Upload Your Own Design Christmas Cards

After uploading your artwork, you can customize your Christmas card to make it feel truly finished and professional. Shutterfly gives you control over key elements so your card looks exactly how you imagined.

• Card Format and Trim: Choose the size and whether your card has square or rounded corners.
• Paper Type: Select a high-quality cardstock that complements your design, from smooth and classic to premium thick or recycled options.
• Back Customization: Add photos, holiday messages, or coordinating design elements to the back of your card.
• AI Tools: Use automated alignment and preview features to ensure your uploaded design prints perfectly.
• Envelopes and Liners: Personalize with printed or solid-color envelopes, plus optional festive slip-in liners.

Envelopes and Addressing for Custom Christmas Cards

Finish your custom Christmas cards with envelopes and addressing options that make sending them easier. Choose from available envelope colors, custom envelopes, and optional liners to complement your design. Shutterfly offers FREE recipient address printing on custom envelopes, and custom address labels make it easy to add your return address. For even less mailing prep, Mail for Me® Service can address, stamp, and mail eligible cards directly to your recipients in plain white envelopes.

Once you’ve perfected your custom Christmas cards, you can bring the same personal touch to the rest of your holiday gifting. Turn your favorite moments into photo books or start the new year with custom calendars designed for family and friends. Spread cheer with personalized gifts like photo blankets, canvas prints, photo Christmas ornaments, custom mugs, and photo puzzles.
