Magical Christmas Card Designs – A Thoughtful and Inexpensive Way to Show Family and Friends How Much You Care

October 29, 2024

You could be forgiven for thinking that the tradition of sending Christmas cards might die out. After all, you can easily (and quickly) wish everyone a Happy Christmas on social media without the expense or hard work of buying, writing and posting cards.

However, we do still love to send and receive cards. Just the joy of receiving heartfelt greetings on your doormat, ready to be displayed proudly in your home, brings with it a kind of warmth that just greetings over social media can’t beat.

The Royal Mail estimates that it delivers 150 million cards during the Christmas period. And honestly, who doesn’t love those cards ready to be pinned or hung up, or put on the mantlepiece?

Whether you use Christmas cards as a way to check in with everyone you’ve ever known or you just send them to a select few special friends and family members, why not choose something truly outstanding this year, that’s a really thoughtful treat, and ensures your card is the star of the Christmas show?

A card and a Christmas cottage in one

The Folding Decoration Cards from Driftwood Designs come in two designs that can easily be folded to make a cute Christmas cottage. Not only do these cards look adorable from the outside when placed on the table or mantel, you can peer inside to see the cosy, Christmassy interior. Place an LED tea light inside and your card doubles as a decoration that can be used again next year… and the next.

Peep through cards

Similarly, Driftwood’s Peep Through cards can be slotted together to make a 3D card that you can, quite literally, peep through. The two designs mean your loved one can peek in and see all the aspects of a Christmassy village, with building and pets and even children pulling a Christmas tree on a sled, or they can glance through the trees of a forest to enjoy a rural cottage set against a wintry night sky.

Advent cards

For cards that make a perfect small gift for the traditional Christmas lover, you have to check out Driftwood’s advent cards. Reminiscent of the advent calendars older generations will recall (before they had chocolate and other gimmicks, but simply revealed Christmas images), these card calendars should come with a nostalgia warning! There is a wonderful variety of designs: a traditional “Night before Christmas” with Santa’s sleigh on a roof of a snow-laden cottage, various beautifully detailed rural winter scenes and frosty seascapes, not to mention Driftwood’s trademark animal designs in winter settings. Both the card fronts and the images behind the doors have been lovingly designed by local artist, Lizzie Spikes.

These card designs are so special they could be given in place of a gift as a thoughtful, yet inexpensive, Christmas treasure for loved ones to enjoy.

Traditional cards

Driftwood Designs also has a vast range of simple yet stunning traditional cards. The choice is immense, with so many wonderful illustrations from Lizzie. Choose from traditional Welsh designs, idyllic snowscapes, cutesy villages, seasonal seafronts and good old fashioned classic Christmas scenes. These cards come in sets so you can stock up on a wide variety of designs or choose your favourite range. Either way, your card will certainly stand out from the crowd when your recipient opens it.

All Driftwood cards are made from recycled card and printed in Wales, ensuring your kindness extends to the planet. Plus, they’re very reasonably priced too, so you can spread holiday cheer without breaking the bank.
