Ideas and inspiration for using Christmas templates

There are so many ways you can use Linearity’s Christmas templates, but here are three excellent ideas:

Family holiday cards

Customized greeting cards never fail to put a smile on your family members’ faces. Make them extra happy by adding their photo along with a personalized message. You can experiment with fonts and holiday colors to add more warmth to the card.

Personalized gift wrap

Make your gift-giving memorable by customizing wrapping paper with festive icons like reindeers or snowflakes. Create unique designs that match the personality of the person receiving the gifts – smiles are guaranteed at the sight of custom wrapping paper.

Digital holiday invitations

If you’re hosting a holiday event, use the templates to create fun, animated invitations. Take a look at 2D animation software to see how animation can add a sprinkle of magic to your holiday cards. Plus, it’s the perfect format for sharing them on social media as well.

Christmas templates for holiday greetings and wrapping paper designs

Linearity’s Christmas templates are designed to be customized. You can change colors, add text, and even animate elements to create a one-of-a-kind holiday experience. 

Let’s explore some of our favorite templates.

Festive Christmas icons for wrapping paper

Decorated with classic icons like snowflakes, pine trees, bows, and confetti, these designs bring that festive “holiday season” vibe to the presents.

Choose a bold mix of patterns for a lively, vivid feel, or stick to a minimal design for an elegant aesthetic. With the freedom to customize colors and layouts, you can make every wrapped gift feel as special as the surprise inside.

Classic Christmas wrapping paper designs

If you want to add a touch of tradition to your gifts, these classic wrapping paper templates are just the thing. They’re designed with cute and timeless elements, like candles and candy canes that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also bring a nostalgic feel to every gift. 

The classic green-and-yellow and red-and-white make the templates pop and perfectly match the holiday feel.

Adjust colors for a twist on the traditional. For example, you can use green and white or green and gold for a luxe look, or you can play around with monochromatic color choices. 

Playful wrapping paper designs

Add a fun vibe to your wrapping paper with our doodle-style and reindeer Christmas icon wrappings. 

These designs include fun patterns like ornaments, stars, stockings and snowflakes and they make the perfect gift wraps for kids. These elements give your package a lighthearted and whimsical holiday look.

You can also experiment with geometric patterns to give your designs a more modern feel.

Best practices for printing your Christmas designs

To make the most of your printed Christmas designs, follow these tips:

1. Ensure each design is set to high resolution before you print your customized templates.

2. Quality paper makes all the difference. Glossy paper works best for a more vivid festive look, while matte paper is best for a more sophisticated, elegant finish.

3. Always print a test sample to check how the color looks like in “real life”. Adjust the color accuracy as needed in Linearity Curve.

4. Consider using eco-friendly alternatives. This is optional, but you can use recycled paper for eco-conscious recipients.
