Christmas Card 2025

My photograph for 2026 was of a winter-themed stained glass window in Newcastle Catholic Cathedral.

Camera = Panasonic TZ30.

The border was a duplicate of the one I have used most years from 2004.

Downloads

• Photograph in screen resolution (as above).
• Photograph in original full resolution for printing.
• Border in original LibreOffice Draw format.
• Border converted to PDF format.

Card assembly instructions to duplicate the original:

1. Get the full resolution photograph printed at 6"x4.5" on photographic paper.
2. Print the border using a laser printer (or print once and duplicate by photocopier) on A4 160 g/m² white cardboard.
3. Fold the printed cardboard into an A5 greetings card with one straight crease.
4. Glue (or double sided selotape or similar) the photograph to the card in the correct orientation. Take care not to make the photograph too soggy.

Printing the border & photograph together on a normal home or office colour printer does not give as good results and gives a more mass-produced look.
