Free Christmas graphics inspired by Christmas Carols, formatted for Instagram and Postcards

11 December, 2021 By Yvon Prehn 2 Comments

Free Christmas Card Social media images based on Christmas Carols
Christmas carols are inspirational for more than singing. They can also inspire our Christmas communications.

Christmas carols are not only wonderful to sing this time of year, but many of the lines in them are both inspiring and encouraging to our faith.

My pastor recently preached a sermon challenging up as to whether we had room in our lives for Jesus. In addition to finding it personally motivating, I also realized it would make a great theme for a Christmas graphic, Instagram image, and postcard.

As is usual with these things, one thing led to another, and I created an entire set of images that you can use for whatever you want, plus they are formatted for Instagram and postcards. In addition, I did a layout of the postcards in MS Publisher and created ready-to-print PDFs that you can print off and use.

Below are pictures of the images and below the images are links to download a ZIP file that has them in various formats.

This is another one of the images in the Christmas set below.

All of the wording for the images below came from Christmas carols that are now in the Public Domain and that you can quote freely. Following is the link to a website that has a useful list of Christmas carols, both those that are in the Public Domain and those that are still under copyright protection:

Note: if a song you want isn't on the list above, simply google it, as I had to do for one I wanted.

After you know which ones are free to use, it is then helpful to have the words printed out. Here is a site that has that for you:

Christmas Booklet Cover or Half size Postcards#11
The files here are half of an 8.5 x 11 sheet and can be used as postcards, program covers, or however you'd like.

These half-page designs can be used in many ways for your Christmas outreach: as invitation postcards that you make up for your people to hand out, as reminders, as encouragements to attend Christmas programs, as gift inserts, and they work quite well as a cover for a Christmas program.

You can edit the card if you are an ECC Member and have access to the MS Publisher files, but even if you don't edit them, they are great designs you can personalize on the back.

The design to the left is free for everyone. CLICK HERE or on the image to download it. It is a ready-to-print PDF. Below are the additional designs for Effective Church Communication Members. Each of these designs is in a ZIP file at the end of the article that has:

  • Ready-to-print PDFs
  • Editable MS Publisher Files
  • Hi-res images
