These 10 Christmas cards are some of my top picks from the archives. They provide the perfect creative punch for launching your holiday card making. Many of the products are retired but offer oodles of inspiration for using new products or supplies you already have on hand! I would love to hear which one of My Favorite Christmas Cards inspires you the most!
4 Tips for Christmas Card Themes
- Traditional – Christmas trees, santa, reindeer, snowflakes and more!
- Rustic or Vintage – Plaid patterns, burlap, or retro images
- Minimalist – Simple designs with clean lines and muted colors. Think white-on-white!
- Religious – Angles, nativity scenes and scripture verses.

I have made three of those sets changing them a little each year. Last year I made several with Tiny Christmas Trees die, Christmas Classics etc. I make about 60 cards at Christmas, my favorite time of the year. I don’t get rid of the Christmas Bundles as they mean so much to me. We don’t get that many cards because I am 79 years and my cousins are not well enough to send cards. I appreciate all you do for us. I have not been well for four months and lost my best friend a little over a week ago. She and I did cards together every other week and will miss her. You are one of the first e-mail each day that I reach for. Thank You!!
Thank you, Candyce, for sharing your story and kind words. It warms my heart. Paper crafting is such a beautiful, passionate art that lifts spirits throughout the year! I hope you feel better soon and so sorry to learn you lost your best friend and fellow card maker.
Christ Gleaming is my favorite
I love making detailed Christmas cards so my recipients know how much I care. Postage is usually a big part of my Christmas budget 😵
Yes! #1 and #3 are 2 of my ALL TIME FAVORITES AS WELL! I even made copies of them for my stash to keep!!!
Oops, I meant #1 and #4!!
Mary you never cease to deliver the perfect clean & simple cards. I love your style and what you create. I know I can always find cards that I love and great tutorials when I desperately need some inspiration. Thank you for being such a leader and amazing designer. We so appreciate you!!!
Ya did it again – some of the best Christmas cards ever. #1, 2, 4, 6 and my favs and can’t wait to give them a try. So nice to see old stamps, dies, and punches that I can again put to good use. Plus you get those wonderful free tutorials.
