Exciting news! 

If you can't find a holiday card design on our site that you love, you can now create holiday cards with your beach portraits or wedding photos through our TinyPrints storefront without purchasing a digital download! Tiny Prints is a leading retailer of premium personalized holiday photo cards and has been recognized for their high quality prints and unmatched customer service.

When you are ready to order, please let us know and we will upload your chosen photo(s) into the Tiny Prints Escrow system. We will then send you a unique code for each image, which you can use in the card creation process in the “add a photo” stage to retrieve that image into your personal Tiny Prints account. Once you have retrieved the image, you can use it on any card for up to 30 days.

Here are some more detailed instructions for those who are interested in taking advantage of this new service:

1. When we send you the link to your photos, mark your favorites so you can keep track of which one(s) you might like to use for a card.

Frequently Asked Questions - How Can I Create Holiday Cards from my Beach Portraits or Wedding Photos?

The holidays are approaching and this is the perfect time to order your holiday cards! We are really pleased to be able to offer you a great selection of unique holiday cards - designs that can only be found on our host site, SmugMug - they are really different from those you will see at WalMart, Walgreens, or Snapfish. There are also loads of new designs for 2012! If you are interested in creating Holiday Cards from your Siesta Key Beach Portraits or Sarasota Wedding Photos, here's how to do that:

First, find the photo you want on your card. Select "Create a Card" from the "Add to Cart" menu.

Select which type of card you want (5x7 folded or 4x8 flat, Holiday, Christmas, etc.).

Then create your card by dragging photos in and out from the box at the right. You can change your card design by browsing the categories at the bottom. You can make your photo bigger or smaller (zoom) by using the controls on the right.

If you select a card with multiple photo spots, simply drag additional photos into place from the box on the right. Don't worry, the Jason Scott Photography watermark will NOT show up on your cards!

Add text in available text boxes (marked with a "T") to customize your card.

When you are happy with your card, use the area on the right to purchase your cards. Finish by clicking "Add to Cart."

Sometimes saving your card can take a while! Don't get concerned if it takes a long time! Cards with more photos take longer!

When it is finished, you can go back to the gallery to purchase additional prints, or go directly to the shopping cart to check out!

Hope this helps! If you have trouble, please let us know! And don't forget to use coupon code "holiday2012" to receive 20% off any order over $25 between now and December 31!
