Christmas Card Templates For Photographers

Hi,
I just finished a graphic design program. I also have a business Petcare.

I would like to start a business with my design work side PetCare clients. Specifically, I extend to the design of client cards for the holidays with friends and family.

What is the best way to go about this?

I am a decent photographer. I too am a decent designer.

So I should buy stock in white car and the design and printing of models 3-4 models, each with an attached photo sealed in the middle? If I use a print shop, they charge me an arm and a leg to print only 4 samples. But I can not print a full page with a printer at home, not to mention the quality is not great.

Or I find beautiful pre-designed Christmas card photo with a spot and you worry about taking the picture? But I guess most customers want a personalized message inside. And how much money I could really do if I did not design it? But the impression is already out, so that would save some money, perhaps?

So what do you suggest?

Has anyone done this on a small scale? I have 15 clients and I would say 7-8 to take me on holiday card design. I'm assuming each client to 50-60 cards, at least.

What should I charge? What is the most cost effective way to do this?
