More Free Vintage Christmas Photographs for Greeting Cards

Two more vintage ( antique ) Christmas photographs for your use.

First, circa 1910s or 1920s this image came from one of my personal cards.  I added a clip art tree and ornaments and tinted the girls shoes red to match the tree.  This photograph probably should not be used any larger than 5 x 7 because it will get grainy if you try to make it any larger.  The original was 3 x 4 so their little faces were pretty small when I first started.

The second image is from 1910's or maybe a little later.  She has on red stockings and a red hat so I thought she would be nice to use for the holidays.  I can't tell what she is holding but you could easily Photoshop a ball or apple into her cupped hands to make a very sweet holiday card.  Also, her face is clear, not pixilated, so I think the outcome when printed will be nice.

Have fun and copy and paste to your heart's delight.

Free Vintage Christmas Photographs

Free Vintage ( Antique ) Photographs for you today...

I've been working on my Photoshop skills and have created some vintage photographs suitable for Christmas greeting cards or for your paper crafting  and altered art enjoyment.  All were originally scanned at 300 dpi and uploaded at 300 dpi.  However, because they are from vintage photographs some images may be slightly grainy if you print larger than 5 x 7 photos. 

First, is a little boy circa 1930's with a Charlie Brown type Christmas tree and a Santa.  He would be cute for either Christmas cards or Christmas Hang Gift Tags.

Next, is a little girl from the 1940's who is sporting a red and white striped cap in light weight fabric.  Her Christmas stocking type cap might be something you would wear in Florida?  Hence, the palm trees in the background and caption "Merry Christmas from Paradise".

Last, three versions of a little girl, early 1900's, who is hugging a teddy bear and standing in front of a decorated Christmas tree.  This card has an orientation of 4 x 8 so it will easily fit on a 4 x 8 photo Christmas postcard.  I liked all three versions so I decided to post all.


 Hope you enjoy.  Copy and paste away!

One last thought...with older photographs (especially) it is a good idea to use photo paper such as Epson, HP, Canon, etc. when you print.  They are more brilliant and your images will be brighter and less muddy than if you use regular cardstock.
