    Handmade Christmas Cards + a Giveaway

    November 8, 2013 |

    I love Christmas.

    And while I'm not quite ready to start decorating like the rest of blog land, I am proud to say that I am D-O-N-E with my Christmas cards. Well, they're not addressed, stamped, licked, or mailed. But they're ready!!!

    Two of my favorite artists have come together and to open The Christmas Collaboration shop. To say I was excited when I heard this announcement is a bit of an understatement! 

    The Christmas Collaboration shop on Etsy!

    Beautiful, right?!

    Lindsay of Pen and Paint and Katy of Katygirl Designs have come together to create and offer beautiful art prints, note cards, gift tags, and printable photo cards perfect for the holiday season. 

    My favorites are the Oh Come Let Us Adore Him print

    Oh Come Let Us Adore Him in Mint & Red - Christmas Holiday Art Print Home Decor 8x10

    their set of gift tags:

    Set of 24 Christmas Holiday tags, gift tags, mini note cards - Merry and Bright, Joy to the World, Peace on Earth, Stationery

    and pretty much all of their photo cards. I love that they have a great mix of holiday, Christmas, and religious cards, a little sumthin sumthin for everyone. 🙂

    I had a hard time picking a design for our card but ultimately chose this double sided photo card:

    Christmas card, whitehouseblackshutters.com

    yep. I'm hormonal. That just made me cry even though I've seen it a ton of times already. 🙂

    Ordering is super simple too. You order, send them your picture, and they will give you a high res copy which you can then print. Printing wasn't bad either, they helped me out, and it was around $25 for a massive amount. So for the cost of Wal-Mart cards, you get a handmade, beautifully designed card that no one else will have.

    And you will support two lovely, hardworkin' mamas. #winning

     

    Do you want to win a card of your own?

    Well, today is your day. Lindsay and Katy will give one reader a photo card of their choice, yay!

    25. Sarah @ Bombshell Bling

      I would chose 'The Real Reason' because I love the message it sends!

    30. Jen

      November 08, 2013 at 6:52 pm

      I would choose "The Real Reason" because the message is so perfect. But I also love the one you chose - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It's definitely hard to choose!!!

    31. Nancy Griffin

      November 08, 2013 at 6:51 pm

      ALL of the cards are so nice! It would be hard to choose just one!

    32. Bridget

    33. Felie Hempfling

      Hands down I would pick the Set of 48 Christmas Holiday tags, gift tags, mini note cards - Merry and Bright, Joy to the World, Peace on Earth, Stationery. Cute little tags to add to gifts yes please!

    34. Barb Hyman

      November 08, 2013 at 3:41 pm

      I want the one you chose, merry CHRISTMAS and Happy New Year! The photo one. I am hoping to have a nice picture of my whole family when I go to my oldest child's graduation from boot camp the end of the month, so my new sailor will be in his dress blues and the rest of us will have matching T-shirts. Hopefully he'll be home for Christmas, but for now I am Thankful I get to see him on Thanksgiving.

    35. Miranda

      November 08, 2013 at 3:31 pm

      I'm torn. I like the Good Tidings and I like the Merry & Bright. So fun!

    36. Suzanna Brown

      November 08, 2013 at 3:21 pm

      I think I'm leaning towards "Happiest of Holidays", but they're all lovely! Thanks for this post! I bought outfits yesterday. Now to get pictures taken. >_< Can't believe Christmas is almost here!!!

    37. Laura Rogers

      November 08, 2013 at 3:16 pm

      I love the Oh Come Let Us Adore Him - customizable Christmas Holiday Family Photo Card Design Printable - It's Beautiful!

    38. Katie R.

      November 08, 2013 at 3:06 pm

      Do I have to choose just one??? I think I might choose the Merry & Bright- but realistically I'd change my mind a dozen times 🙂

    39. Amber Wooten

      November 08, 2013 at 3:04 pm

      I LOVE the Joy to the World two-sided card. It's way cute!
