Christmas Card Templates For Photographers

Hello,
I just finished a graphic design program. I am also a business owner Petcare.

I would like to create a side business offering my design work Petcare customers. Specifically, I want to offer design customer card 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, do I buy stock car empty and the design and printing of drawings and models 3-4 models, each with an accompanying photograph recorded 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 nice pre-designed Christmas cards with a photo of place and do not worry about shooting? But I guess most customers would want a personalized message inside. And how much money I could really do if I did not conceive? But the impression to the outside is already done, so that would save 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 the design of the holiday card. I guess every customer to 50-60 cards, at least.

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