Let’s add a holiday themed graphic and a custom message! We’re using some stock graphics from Vecteezy to add a little more holiday style to our card. We’ve got the family photo in place, but the holiday card creation doesn’t stop there. That means we can now freely move and adjust the image while leaving our frame in the correct spot. This allows you to move one without moving the other.
If you want to adjust the composition and placement of the family photo, simply unlink the Layer from the Layer Mask. This will make it so that the family photo will appear only over top of our original white frame. This will allow us to resize the image as much as we want without losing resolution.Ĭreate another slightly smaller selection within the white frame we created and then use that new selection to create a Layer Mask for the family photo. This will create a white box we can use to frame our photograph.īring in the family photo, right click on its Layer, and select Convert to Smart Object. With the selection active, create a new Layer and Fill the selection with White (on the Layer we just created). To create a frame for the main family image, grab the Rectangular Marquee Tool and create a rectangle where you want the family photo to be placed in the image. Creating the illusion of frames is relatively easy using simple selection tools and Layer Masks.
Create Frames with Layer MasksĪ common holiday card format is to have a themed background image with other image assets inside of frames within that background. Websites like Pexels and Vecteezy provide quality stock images and assets for free! Whether you need a background, texture, graphic, or a beautiful photo to complement your holiday cards, it’s just a quick search away.įor our example, we’re using two stock images from Pexels for the background and the family image and then a vector graphic from Vecteezy. With a family photo and some free stock images websites, you can create your own celebratory designs in no time at all. You don’t need to be a Photoshop pro or pay for expensive assets to create your own holiday cards. Make Holiday Cards with Free Stock Assets
