Once again the leaves have changed colors and the air is beginning to have that crisp bite to it. With the transition of seasons, we start to look forward to those fond holiday traditions that make it truly feel like Christmas. The lights and decorations are dug out of the depths of the garage, the Christmas cookbooks that have gathered a layer of dust become your new kitchen decor and the red and green craft supplies you’ve been eyeing for months can finally be put to use.
A tradition that is universal is creating a yearly Christmas card. A Christmas card is a way to spread cheer to your friends and family and remind them how much they mean to you. Although the idea of creating a Christmas card is common, each individual card is unique. The beauty of a card is that it can show your personality and by capturing your character, you are sharing a piece of yourself with the receiver.
Whether you create your Christmas card professionally online or craft it by hand, there is one element that remain the same. Christmas cards should be personalized. This could be in the form of a family photo, showing off how much everyone has grown. It could also mean hand stamping a design on each cover. Whatever design you choose: personalize it.
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “It’s what’s on the inside that counts.” This is true with personalizing a Christmas card too. The message you write inside makes the card feel complete. Coming up with unique and clever Christmas wishes that haven’t been overdone can be difficult and time consuming.
