I love this idea. So few of us actually need more things, but receiving thoughtful words from someone you like/love just seems like something you'd treasure forever.
I'm definitely inspired! We got all these Christamssy stamps last year to make our own hand-stamped gift tags... I'm thinking hand-stamped cards might be the project this year!
Love that idea! I bought some blank postcards from the art store that you can paint or draw on. I recently used one as a thank you card and tried to sketch the gift (a candle) on the front. It was quite fun and relaxing! What types of things/scenes do you paint on your cards?
Handmade cards just makes everything more personal. I mainly do flowers and birds - especially european robins. They are just so cute and the colours work well for Christmas.
Thanks, Debbie! It's not groundbreaking, for sure, but I'm excited to start sending more letters! Paintings of local scenes sound great! I like to pick up postcards or blank greeting cards like that when I travel.
We just picked up our family's holiday cards. I'm not sure where we sourced them. One of the many places where you can create a personalized card online. I love the tradition of sending cards for the holidays.

I agree, Marci! So, will you send a few handwritten notes or letters this year? :)

I love this idea - I actually paint cards in watercolour, so will be using those.

Sounds lovely! And I agree, it's so much more personal.
BRILLIANT idea and so lovely! We live half the year on the Maine coast; so I often find cards that are paintings of local scenes. Don’t have a link…

I think it’s really nice too! I’ve just never been much of a sender, but hoping to pick up the habit for holidays or just whenever! 📫
