Making Greeting Cards With Your Art Photos

In this video I share how I use photos of my art work to create beautiful greeting cards. This is an affordable, inexpensive and easy way for artists to create greeting cards for their patrons and friends. It is a wonderful way to share your art work with others. They can be used to promote your art business online, in a store or at an art show. They make wonderful gifts and can be used for a variety of occasions, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, memorials and graduation. They are perfect to express your care and concern for others.
The process of putting the cards together is easy and affordable. I purchase the photos online at Clark Color and the embossed cards at DickBlick Art. Mounting the photos to the cards are quick when you use a spray fixative such as 3M spray adhesive. Greeting cards are a must for anyone who runs a business because they allow you to let your patrons know you care and appreciate their patronage and support.

Great tip on the Strathmore photo mount cards. Thank you!

This is a perfect solution to my problem. I’ve had so many issues with printers not working but just making prints of my art and using adhesive gets rid of that completely. Thank you ma’am 🎉

The one downvote has never gotten such a beautiful card!

Thanks Maureen! This was a great tutorial - I'd never have thought of spray adhesive and would have made a mess with some other glue type!

Do you have any tips for make it sure the photo goes on straight ? I always seem to struggle to get the photo perfectly aligned I am really enjoying trying this method though. It’s a fun hobby !

Thank you so much for this information. My son took some lovely photos of wildlife recently and would like to give them as cards to relatives for Christmas. There are so many different ways to 'print cards' but your way will be perfect for him.

Thank you! This is just what I was looking for! Going to an online store to get quality cards made is too pricey. Your choice of card stock and your art are beautiful !

Wonderful information, thank you! Do you get your prints as matte or glossy? Thanks again for the great tips!

This was so helpful, thank you! Your art is beautiful.

[jangallagher]

That does look easy, but it's not as easy as ordering cards directly from you! And I'm really sure your finished product is better than mine would be.

[charlottemandell]

Thanks these look great. Wondering what kind of finish you use on Your photos

Hi Maureen. Clark Color is no longer in business and has been bought by Snapfish. You do you use to print your photos now and what paper do you chose? Thanks!
