5 Christmas card trends to get you in the spirit!

This year, spice up your Christmas card by trying something new. Here are a few ideas to get you started….

1. Baby got back.

In the digital world, printers can do just about anything with the correct types and sizes of files. Send a card that is also printed on the back, either with an additional photo or a fun pattern.

2. Letter rip.

If you are one of those people who write a Christmas letter every year, combine it this year with your card. That way your friends and family will keep it all on one card. Let’s be honest, 8.5×11 laser paper just doesn’t display well with all of your other beautiful cards. This card can also be customized with the breed of your choice and over 15 colors!

3. Handmade Holidays.

Hand drawn illustrations are huge this year. It’s a little bit folksy, a little contemporary, and these cards are sure to give you the warm fuzzies as you sit by the fire drinking your hot chocolate staring at the 1000 + lights you just put on your tree.

4. Pretty as a picture.

Can’t decide on one photo? Go ahead, choose a few. However, don’t get carried away. While your friends and family will love your photo card, they don’t need to see (or care for that matter) about every Kodak moment you had in 2011. That’s what blogs are for…

5. To DIE for.

Die cuts are also rising in popularity in shapes of ornaments, frames, and vintage accents. It also stands out from the standard 5×7 Christmas card. How cute are these mittens? We are loving the needlepoint detail.
