Collage holiday cards are a wonderful way to share your favorite memories from the year.

Whether you’re printing cards to send by mail or sharing them online, BeFunky’s holiday card templates make it easy to create a festive collage with the innovative tools of the Graphic Designer that’s both meaningful and completely your own.

Turn Photos Into One-of-a-Kind Holiday Cards

Designing a holiday card is more than a creative project. It’s a way to reflect on the past year and share your story with others. BeFunky’s collage holiday card templates offer layouts for every style, helping you design something that’s full of personality and professional looking.

Here’s how to get started:

Step 1: Choose a Collage Template

Open the Holiday Cards category of the Graphic Designer and select a template. Look for collage designs that feature multiple photo spots so you can highlight different moments from your year.

Step 3: Customize the Design

BeFunky’s Graphic Designer makes customizing templates simple and intuitive. Just click any element in your design to adjust fonts, colors, and more – all without leaving your workspace.

Start by updating the colors of any existing graphics. Here, we used the Eye Dropper tool to match shades directly from our photos for a cohesive look. You can also add festive details like ornaments, stars, menorahs, or candles to give your collage a seasonal touch from the Graphics tab.

Holiday Card Collage Inspiration

Collage templates give you room to get creative and make your design stand out. Whether you want something modern, artistic, or whimsical, there are countless ways to transform your layout into a unique expression of your style. Here are a few inspiring project ideas to try.

Add an Artistic Touch

Give your collage an artistic touch by applying BeFunky’s photo effects and filters to your images. Try our AI Watercolor or Oil Painting filters for a creative painterly feel, or use the Cartoonizer to make your card look like a hand-drawn illustration. Applying a consistent style across all your photos ties the design together while making it feel handcrafted and original.

Create Festive Shapes

Swap traditional photo frames for fun, holiday-inspired shapes. Turn your collage cells into stars, ornaments, or Christmas trees for a playful and thematic twist. You can even layer these shapes behind your photos to add depth and visual balance, making your collage look like a custom piece of seasonal art.
