We looked for a site that allows users to upload pictures and use them in their Christmas cards. We also wanted a site that gave users a large selection of Christmas card templates to help great them started. After being disappointed many times by sites claiming to be free, then wanting to charge users for the good stuff, we found Greetings Island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Not only did Greetings Island offer everything we were looking for &#8211; they also allow users to send eCards by email. And they&#8217;re even animated. They offer all kinds of cards, birthday cards, Valentine&#8217;s cards, friendship cards, sympathy cards, and more. But Christmas season is here (almost), so we&#8217;re focusing on Greetings Island&#8217;s Christmas cards<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2022\/xmascard.png\" alt=\"Greetings Island - Cloudeight Site Pick\" width=\"598\" height=\"411\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">First, you&#8217;ll notice that you&#8217;ll have the option of choosing to create a folded card &#8211; like you would buy in a store or a flat card you can download as an image. Unless you have a reason not to, we suggest you choose &#8220;Folded&#8221;. Not only can you download and print your card, but you can also send it as an eCard. And the eCards are very nice &#8212; as we&#8217;ll soon show you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Greetings Island has a nice selection of templates to choose from &#8211; making it easy to get your Christmas card project started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2022\/xmascard1.png\" alt=\"Greetings Island Christmas Cards - Cloudeight InfoAve\" width=\"599\" height=\"482\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2022\/xmascard2.png\" alt=\"Greetings Island Christmas Cards - Cloudeight InfoAve\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2022\/xmascard3a.png\" alt=\"Greetings Island Christmas Cards - Cloudeight InfoAve\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">We&#8217;ll tell you this, to use Greetings Island, you have to create a free account.
