"DIY projects There are lots of ways to use your PC or phone to create your own greeting cards, letters, calendars and other highly personalized gifts. In most case, they need to be printed, but if you don't have a printer, there are ways to get them printed professionally, which for some items such as photographs, can actually wind up being less expensive and a lot better looking than printing them yourself, especially if you consider the wastage that often encompasses home printing projects."
"They may not be quite as personal as coming up with your own words, but you can get a personalized message by saying something like "create a combined Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year's card for my cousin in Ohio" or maybe "create a Christmas card greeting for a family with a boy, a girl, a mom, dad and a dog.""
"I often paste in pictures from my own library or even images generated by AI. Sometimes, I just print them as a one-sheet without worrying about a fold, but if I want them to resemble greeting cards, I use a template such as ones built-into Microsoft Word or use some of the free greeting card creation services from Canva, Adobe Express or Greetings Island. You'll find a link to these at larrysworld.com/greetingcards."
Personalized holiday greeting cards and DIY gifts can be created using a PC or phone, then printed at home or professionally. Professional printing often yields better-looking photographs and can be more cost-effective when accounting for home-printing waste. Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT can generate tailored greetings by specifying recipient details or tone, though original messages remain more personal. Images from personal libraries or AI-generated visuals can be incorporated into one-sheet prints or folded cards using templates in Microsoft Word or free services like Canva, Adobe Express, and Greetings Island. Links and instructions are available online for template and printing options.
