We decided to snap some photos for a fun Christmas card in our pool this year. I personally LOVE when families send cards of them on a vacation or maybe in front of their home or something they added to their yard! Or in their pajamas, most fitting for 2020! I am sharing a FREE Christmas Cards you can add your own photo a message on!
We take our own photo with my tripod and then put one of my Nesting with Grace Presets on it!! Find info on my preset and camera tips here.
I use PicMonkey to add my photo- you can do a trial month. I am sure there are other photo editing apps, I am just comfortable with this. To make your photo into a circle-
- Open your image in PicMonkey.
- Click the Frames tab, then choose Shape Cutouts.
- Use your cursor to adjust the circle’s placement on your image.
- Click Apply.
You can have your cards printed from placed like Vista Print or Walmart or Costco. I also just order Kraft envelopes from amazon here.
A Well Nested Christmas Playlist-
And we are going to need some festive Christmas music as you make your Christmas Cards!!
Find the playlist on Spotify HERE and find it on Apple Music HERE
Favorite Winter Beanie and Scarves-
I do not think the family needs all new clothes for a Christmas photo. We just all had on older swimsuits and got new beanies! Maybe you don’t want to take a photo in a swimsuit 🙂 new beanies or scarves would still unite everyone!
- Stripe Beanie
- Black Pom Pom Beanie
- Chunky Knit Beanie
- Cheetah Beanie
- Colorblocked Scarf
- Black Scarf
- Tie-Dye Scarf
- Faux Fur Pink Scarf
- Plaid Scarf
- Ribbed Beanie (our beanies)
Do you send Christmas cards?

Listen to The Best Gift by Barbra Streisand for your playlist. It’s my favorite Christmas song, and it’s overlooked for some reason. Love your cards. Happy Thanksgiving!
