• Christmas Recipe Cards:
  Do you have a famous applie pie or chocolate chip cookie recipe that everyone always asks you for?

  Why not print out your special recipe onto some pretty holiday patterned paper for your family and friends?

  That way you are giving them your holiday greetings and something yummy to remind them of you - which is especially sweet if you have friends and family that live far away.
  
  
  
  

• Handmade Photo Christmas Cards:
  Christmas is a great time to show others how your family has grown or share news about new members of your family.

  How about making your own photo holiday card that doubles as a beautiful Christmas picture frame?

  Instead of just sending a picture, use some material and send your picture in style! Try cutting out little snowflakes and gluing them on a pretty blue background bordering your picture.

  Or what about little snowmen made of fluffy cotton balls? It will be sure fire way to set your photo card apart from all the others.

• Festive Shaped Cards:
  Instead of the typical rectangular or square cards this holiday - what about shaping them into cool little patterns?

  What about a Christmas stocking or a Christmas tree? An ornament shaped card would also be fun to create.

  Spice up the typical greeting card protocol and make your own!

You can still enjoy a few hours of relaxation and still deliver a little extra for those that are close to your heart!
