If you’re looking to make cards, click New on your bookshelf, select Card, click Next, then click Holiday. Christmas is the default, but if you click the right arrow for Browse Theme, Chanukah is next in the rotation [see image below]. Name your card and press Next. Upload your photos and click Finished. Once your photos are uploaded, you’ll be taken to the Editor where the Dreidel card is the default. If you click on Backgrounds, you’ll see the other Chanukah options [above image is one option].

Holiday cards - easy

Photo Cards are fast and easy to make, bring a smile to the recipient’s face and aren’t just for the December holidays. Make Halloween party invitations, Thanksgiving family greetings and New Year’s wishes too.

If you’re going to make holiday cards, think about when you’ll want them to arrive at your family and friends homes, how long it’ll take you to address them and then order them 10 days before that. Have in mind the pictures you want to use – or still need to take and decide the background you want to use. Once you have the picture and background selected, you can make a beautiful card in about 10 minutes.

Photos organized by holiday

Photo calendars make a great gift. They arrive right at the end of the year and will bring smiles to Grandma’s and Great Aunt Dawn’s face each month.  If you’re planning to make a calendar whose images matches celebrations that typically occur in certain months, like Halloween for October, make the process of laying out a calendar easier by putting photos in buckets such as holidays, birthdays and other events like family reunion, vacation and playing in the snow. This type of categorization will allow you to apply pictures to the appropriate month. Other calendar themes could be a year of family fun time, baby’s first year, wedding and so on.

Layout for October

Get creative and have fun.  Like cards, remember to order early to allow for you gift wrap and deliver to the recipient – beat the rush, don’t get caught in weather delays and keep your holiday stress down.

You just can’t live without compiling some of your most cherished memories into a beautiful collage every once in a while, can you? Well, there’s nothing wrong with that. A dazzling photo book is something that you can be proud to share, unlike your other more questionable artistic endeavors, such as karaoke singing and potholder crocheting.

So now that you have become the Picasso of the photo book world, Inkubook has decided to construct a virtual Louvre in honor of your work. We’ve cooked up a new member homepage design, the Inkubook Gallery Bookshelf, which makes it easier to navigate through and find your favorite projects.

Check out the new setup:

All your projects are conveniently displayed in small thumbnail form and categorized by project type. You can find any calendar, photobook or card by simply scrolling through the easy-to-use gallery. With this view, locating, editing and ordering more copies of your favorite project is a cinch.

We noticed that more than a few of our customers had photobook projects called “My Photo Book.” Sound familiar? Another little helpful feature that we’ve added is the ability to rename your projects. Click on your project from the Gallery Bookshelf and rename your project to something more helpful.

So revel in your love for Inkubook. With the Gallery Bookshelf, it’s easier and more fun than ever to make beautiful, lasting keepsakes and gifts with your digital photos. What are you waiting for? Make something gorgeous today!
