So to help lighten the load, we’ve prepared a quick and easy tutorial to help you get your family photos holiday ready! Today, I’ll show you how to make your family photos more festive using photo frames. With that said, let’s get started!
How to Make Your Family Photo More Festive
Before we dive in, you’ll want to have your family photo ready if you plan to design it with me in real-time. If you prefer to use this tutorial to experiment with ideas for holiday photos, feel free to use one of our stock images. With housekeeping out of the way, click here to open the Photo Editor to follow along. Similarly, you can go directly to the Frames tab by following this link.
Step 1: Upload Your Photo
To upload your photo, click Open at the top of your canvas and select your desired photo. Or, you can just as easily drag and drop it directly from your computer.
Step 2: Choose Your Frame
Next, you’ll want to add a frame to your photo. Head to the Frames tab to view our various frame options. Click on each option to preview how it will look when applied to your photo. After selecting a frame, options specific to that frame will appear to help you customize it to your liking. Once you’re happy with your frame, click the Apply button.
Step 3: Make It Festive
As you can see with our example, we've stacked a regular Border frame with an Ornament frame (Ornament 13) to create an original, festive design. You can also experiment with graphics, text, and color to make it truly unique.
Step 4: Add Some Text
If you're looking to send your framed photo to someone else, it's time to add a cheerful holiday message! Start by clicking the Text tab, followed by the Add Text button. Using the Text Properties menu that pops up, you'll be able to customize various aspects of your text. Use your creativity and play with different fonts, colors, and effects to achieve the look you’re after.
Step 5: Save Your Framed Photo
Once you’re satisfied with everything, click the Save button at the top of your canvas to save your photo to your desired destination. If you plan on printing your photo, we recommend saving it as a PDF. Otherwise, if you plan to share it digitally or on social media, we recommend saving it as a high-quality PNG.
