Normally I wait until the last minute to search for, select, and purchase Christmas cards. Due to this it usually ends up being a mixture of big box cards and handmade cards. This year I’m getting started early and and I’ve going to document my top finds here.
I am limiting the entries here to sets of cards; I don’t think I can afford to buy card by card. I love letterpress, so they’re that too. Find them all on Etsy.

1. Beautiful embossed snowflake holiday cards // LetterpressLight (But then I am partial to snowflakes.)
