Create Your Own Holiday Cards with Adobe Firefly

Naperville Art League
Saturday, November 7, 2026 | 2–4 pm
Instructor: Michelle Rae Sobi

Create a personalized holiday card using your own photographs and the creative possibilities of Adobe Firefly. In this hands-on workshop, Michelle Rae Sobi will guide you through transforming a favorite photograph into a festive image to share with family and friends. Explore how AI-assisted image tools can help you imagine a seasonal setting, experiment with backgrounds, and bring your holiday vision to life.

Bring a few high-quality digital photographs you would like to practice with, along with three reference images that capture your preferred setting, colors, or mood. Think snowy gardens, twinkling lights, winter greenery, or a cozy holiday room. Your reference images will help inspire a digital setting, much as you might choose a backdrop for a photography session.

Students will work toward completing an image ready to send to a printer for their holiday cards. Michelle will provide individual guidance throughout the workshop. If your image needs additional finishing afterward, she will help complete it and deliver your card image within 48 hours of the workshop.

Please bring a charged laptop, your digital photographs and reference images, and access to Adobe Firefly.

Don’t have the gear? Bring a thumb drive with your high-resolution photographs and reference images to work with Michelle on her laptop. Beginners are welcome.

Tuition: $75 per student, including assistance finishing one image within 48 hours of the workshop.

Michelle studied digital arts with UC Berkeley and is enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge with her students. She works in small groups to ensure close mentorship and personal attention.
