Handmade holiday photo card that is a gift in itself!

This Instructable will show you how to make a unique set of cards, each of which can be framed by the recipients after the holiday season is over, and even easier so if you give them an IKEA clip photo frame along with the card.

These cards can be given to anyone. They are personal and unique (unless you print more than one copy of each photo). And if you give a photo frame with the card, it's a great "gift" for those people who you want to give more than a card to, but don't want to spend any significant money on.

Let's begin!

Step 1 Materials list

1) Digital or film camera
2) Film if using a film camera (I prefer Ilford HP5 B&W film)
3) A textured artsy cardstock (I chose black for my B&W prints)
4) Gluestick
5) 3M spray adhesive (which I prefer) or you can use gluestick
6) Exacto knife
7) Cutting mat / surface (not pictured)
8) Metal ruler
9) Brown paper grocery bags or brown paper on a roll (for making envelopes)
10) Scissors (not pictured)

Optional
1) 5x7 clip photo frames, I buy them at IKEA
2) A metallic ink gel pen for writing on dark cardstock (I used silver ink on black cardstock)
3) Butter knife (only if doing a folding card design)
