If you have Microsoft Publisher, then you know that you can use it to create a variety of publications from the comfort of your own desk and printer. Because of this, perhaps you thought that creating your own Christmas cards in Publisher would be a great way to save some money and add a more personal touch to your holiday greetings.
Microsoft only offers a handful of holiday card templates, though, and searching for Microsoft Publisher Christmas card templates online may prove to be a fruitless effort. You do have a few options. You can start from scratch with a blank quarter-sheet fold or half-sheet fold page in Publisher, select color and font schemes and then add your choice of images and text to create your very own holiday card.
You can also start with another Publisher template of a greeting card for another holiday or occasion and then alter it by changing the colors, images and wording to make it into a Christmas card. Finally, you can download one or all of the free Microsoft Publisher Christmas card templates shown here. Even if they are not precisely what you seek, you can tailor them to suit your specifications.
Download a lighthearted, whimsical Christmas card with a more general, “Happy Holidays” sentiment.

This template creates a quarter-sheet side-fold greeting card that prints onto standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
Perhaps you are looking for a more professional, contemporary Christmas card. If so, this ornament template may be what you seek. On the front of the card is a single red plaid ornament hanging from a Christmas tree branch. The front of the card also has a border in varying shades of green. The verse inside reads, “Deck the halls with Christmas cheer, family and friends that you hold dear. With joyful hearts and wishes bright, our thoughts go out to you tonight. Merry Christmas.” This template creates a quarter-sheet side-fold greeting card that prints onto standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
If you want a card template that exhibits the religious meaning of the Christmas holiday, you might appreciate this Publisher card template with a nativity scene on the front. Along with the picture of Mary, Joseph and the Christ child is a quote from Isaiah 9:6, which states, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” The left side of the inner card completes this verse: “And the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” The right side is a larger, paler version of the Baby Jesus image on the front along with the words, “Have a blessed Christmas!”
