Who else makes their own holiday cards with DAZ?

I've designed my own holiday cards off and on over the years, and with custom services like Brookhollow now offering less tha a week turnaround, it's a great chance to have a little fun with the items in your runtime... and have something you can show friends and relatives that they can actually understand the reason for. :)   This is the front image from my Holiday card for this year...  

 

The caption inside read "Santa Claus Is Watching You."

Anyone else want to share?

    I use Daz Studio to make an email Christmas card for my friends every year. I haven't done this year's card yet, I always leave it to the last minute, but here is what I did last year.

    I use the same render for everyone and use Gimp to put a personalised greeting on each card.

    Since Santa Claus is not part of our folklore at all, I decided not to use any such items. I used one of my recent renders to create a New Year wish card, also known as a PF (Pour Féliciter) card in Steampunk style.smiley

    Yes, it's a handy way to do it, although you have to get off your butt far enough in advance to get it it done it time so I haven't as often as I'd like to.  Here's one from a few years back:

    This is what I came up with for this holiday season...

    ...It was either this or a black card that says "Congratulations! You didn't die! Best. Christmas. Ever."

    I did it a couple of years but it was so long ago that I've lost my original scene files and renderings somewhere in old DVD archives.

    They were the typical early 1900's type of scene with snow, sleigh, horses, country farmhouse, pine trees, family arriving at dusk, greeted at open door with cheerful glow of light in house windows.

    Wow.  That's a really unexpected combination of elements, but it works wonderfully.

    Man, so many great card designs!  This is the image I used last year, which is actually an old image that I did in 3DL a long time ago, hence the use of the David 3 Santa suit and beard set on G2M.  

    The caption was "Wreck The Halls." :)

    It's become surprisngly affordable, expecially if you send out a few dozen cards or more.  The batch I had printed this year was only $120 for 100 cards including gold-rimed envelopes with my return address printed on them in an Xmas-y font, the turn aournd was less than a week, and I've still got a bunch of them left over for future use. That's not bad at all when you consider that Target, Walgrens and Hallmark are all charging $3 and up per card if you buy them individually.

    Did this one this year - been on a cyberpunk kick so figured I'd do a cramped future Christmas image

    I did this a while back, but it still makes me laugh every time I see it.

    I make individual ones for friends Chistmas and Birthdays and print them off. This is an alien Gift Tag I used last year (personalised), a minion card from 2017, one for a friend this year (we all need cheering this year), and the last one is from a couple of years ago for a work colleague I still call the Golden Boy (done completely in DS, picture on a cube).
