NB: I’ve created new designs for these cards. I’m showing them here instead of the original ones. I hope you’ll enjoy them.
I’ve rewritten the original text too.

If you have a pet dog, you may love these Christmas cards. They include two, three, four, five, or six family photos and a photo of your dog, and they come with a text template for a Christmas letter on the back (or inside if they’re folded greeting cards—you will find those, too, on the site). Most of the examples shown in this post also act as moving announcements, but I’ve also included two cards that don’t, in case you were looking only for funny ruff year Christmas cards. And then I’ve also included two on a more positive note.
I created these cards thinking of the past few years, with the pandemic and all, so the dog says “Oh dear, ANOTHER ruff year!”—you can change that to “Oh dear, what a ruff YEAR” or any other funny line (that fits in that space) with your favorite dog doing the talking about another difficult year coming to an end.

Here are some of these designs, starting with one of my favorites, a golden card (with a white back with snowflakes) with five photos, which can include both family photos and images of your home, as in the example shown below.
Again, you can swap the first line for “Oh dear, what a ruff YEAR!” or anything else.

Or, if you prefer Rudolph the Reindeer, with the funny vibe going from “ruff year” to the “oh deer” in the “what a year” statement, here’s another version of this card with Rudolph the Reindeer and New Year wishes.
I felt this one with Rudolph scored higher on the cuteness factor, so I played up colors and fonts.

If you prefer something simpler and more elegant instead, and you don’t have many good photos to use on your Christmas card, you may like the following design better. It has two family photos on the front along with a photo of your pet dog, and a photo of your new home on the back.

All these holiday moving cards have white versions as well. Here’s one of them, with seven photos in total. With elegant, modern snowflakes on both front and back.

I’ve also made square Christmas cards this year (5.25″ x 5.25″, compared to 5″ x 7″ for the ones above). It has a dog photo and three family photos on the front and a picture of your new home on the back, along with a stylized golden Christmas tree. Note that the writing is very crisp on the actual card (which you can see if you click on the image link).

Here’s a square card on white with 6 photos (dog + family + new home) and the same design on the back as the one above.

and a holiday moving announcement.

If you’ve reached this blog post looking only for “ruff year” cards, without a holiday moving announcement, here are some other designs for you.

Back to holiday moving announcement cards, in case you may prefer a card with a pet dog but would rather go with a more positive message overall, after all, here’s another design I created this year.

The above version works for Rudolph too! Here it is, the version on a golden background.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this presentation and maybe even found a card or two to your liking.
