DIY Beautiful Christmas E-Cards as Christmas Gifts
December 5, 2008 – 9:44 am 19,435 viewsMaybe you are busy preparing the Christmas gifts now, even though the Christmas Day is still about twenty days away. And perhaps you are so confused of choosing a special gift which not only can send your best wishes, but also show your personalities.
I have a good idea, that is, to make a nice Christmas Flash card by yourself. “It sounds great, but, I don’t know anything about Flash, it may be very difficult for me”, you may afraid.
Don’t worry! I will tell you a quick and easy way, that is, find a nice Christmas Flash card (*.swf) and edit it into your own way. Please follow me.
1. Prepare a beautiful Christmas tree
To make a Christmas Flash card, you should prepare a beautiful Christmas tree at first. The following is a funny Flash game from which you can decorate your own Christmas tree.
Just drag the presents on the bottom to any place of the Christmas tree. Finally, save the snapshot of the decorated Christmas tree as an image to your computer, which will be used as an image element in step3.
2. Get a free Christmas card from web
In this step, you need to find a nice Christmas Flash card (*.swf) which will be edited into your own style. Here I provide you two examples:
I suggest you use Sothink Web Video Downloader to capture the above cards to your computer.
Free download for Web Video Downloader:

3. DIY your Christmas card
Now you can turn to Sothink SWF Quicker, a professional Flash movie maker and editor, for help. After importing the card (*.swf) into SWF Quicker, almost all elements of the Flash card can be edited, such as image, text and background music. Therefore, you can replace the image with the one you prefer or add the Christmas tree you made in step 1, write down your personal Christmas wishes, import new background music and assign a link to your personal blog, etc. All your imaginations will come true with the help of Sothink SWF Quicker.

Christmas Gifts? I need to get my friends christmas gifts, but I don’t know what to get them. I have about 10 friends to buy for, so it can’t be to expensive. I want to spend about 50 dollars in total on my friends, so I have about five dollars each. I don’t want the gifts to be too cheesy. Please help!!! By the way all of my friends are 13 or 14 and all of them are girls (if this helps any)
