The Holiday season is about to start, and this will mark a series of new work for designers. This will range from designing social media posts, banners, posters, promotional posts, and a lot more. Another type of work that designers will have to work on is postcard design.
Sending holiday season postcards is a decreasing trend as people now prefer to wish each other digitally. However, many people still prefer the traditional method of sending their wishes. Many stores provide the options of already printed and ready-to-send postcards. But there are chances that your postcard might look common.
Designing your holiday season postcard makes it look far more exclusive and gives you the option to customize it with your name and message. This is why designers have to put in extra effort to design creative and fresh postcards. To help them in this task, we have compiled some of the more creative postcard templates for the holiday season. While are some are completely free to download and use, some are at a nominal cost. Either way, designers will find ample inspiration and design resources from this.
1. A Set of Cards with Holiday Greetings
Rather than searching around for a single good design, this set of cards offers six varied options for postcard design. All six are refreshingly different, and the good part is that you can use elements from one card into other and thereby come with many more versions. For example, the cards have the merry Christmas message with different typography settings. There is not much room for designing as the cards already look visually appealing. But still, you can move the elements around and add your customization to the card.
2. Happy Holidays Greetings Card Set
Another well-designed set of holiday postcards, this particular one, moves away from the merry Christmas message. It does have that also, but it is also more focused on the happy holiday’s message.
