Laser Engraved Christmas Postcard

A fun keepsake Christmas card.

1/8" plywood (or any thin wood)

Computer design program - I used Photoshop Elements 15

Inkscape

Laser Printer - I have a Full Spectrum Hobby Series

Sandpaper

Oil

Design your card, front and back in your favorite design program.

Send your images to Inkscape to prepare (turn into a BMP) for engraving.

Laser engrave the front and back of your card.

Lightly sand if necessary, oil. I took my cards to the post office (they need to be hand stamped) and was able to mail them for $.71 each.

Once your recipients receive their card they now have a keepsake to bring out every year! The compliments are fun too.
