Larry Magid: DIY holiday cards & projects plus safe shopping
"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 just seem more personal than canned messages, and if I want, I can even create individualized cards for special people on my list. If you need help coming up with greetings, try ChatGPT or another Generative AI tool. 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."
Use a computer or phone to design personalized greeting cards, letters, calendars and other custom gifts. Many projects require printing, and professional printing can be less expensive and higher-quality than home printing when considering waste and photo reproduction. Personalized cards feel more meaningful than store-bought options, and individualized messages can be created for specific recipients. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT can help craft greetings with tone and recipient details, though writing original messages is recommended when possible. Images can come from personal photo libraries or AI generation, and templates from Word, Canva, Adobe Express or Greetings Island simplify layout and printing.
