Unusual Christmas Cards Ideas
from: CTLMost Christmas cards sent during the holidays in recent years are traditional printed Christmas cards or flat photo Christmas cards. Are you looking for something a little different, something that won't get lost in the sea of other cards? Perhaps you want personalized Christmas cards or maybe personalized photo Christmas cards. Maybe you want even more unique Christmas cards for your friends to remember. Here are a few suggestions of unusual and more unique Christmas cards that might be just what you're looking for.
Round Christmas Cards
There's no better way to break out of the common Christmas card mold than by choosing an unusual shape. How about a round Christmas card? Some card shops now sell clever round cards that provide a place for a photo and your personal message. There's also a grommet in the top of these circular cards so your card will be able to be hung as a decoration. Some even come with punch-out pieces that can be used as tree ornaments.
Pop-Up Christmas Cards
You can now buy pop up Christmas cards with clever, whimsical pop-ups inside. Imagine your card recipient's face when Santa or Rudolph pops up from the card and presents your greeting!
All-in-One Christmas Card/Letter
If you write an annual Christmas letter, you might enjoy some of the new unusual and unique Christmas cards that allow you to incorporate your letter right into the card. No more stuffing a separate piece of paper in the card! You can find several designs online, including tri-fold photo insert Christmas cards with room for a short letter on one panel and photos on the other panels or flat photo insert Christmas cards with a photo on one side and your letter on the back. Which photo insert Christmas cards work best for you will depend on how long your Christmas letters usually are.
Tri-Fold Christmas Photo Cards
When it comes to photo Christmas cards, more is often better, which may be why tri-fold cards are becoming more popular. These unusual photo Christmas cards give you more space to share your holiday message or images. Some photo insert Christmas cards offer lots of places for little photos, while other photo holder Christmas cards allow you to use a photo that spreads across two of the panels. Still other photo holder christmas cards include a place for you to write a Christmas letter or message.
Musical Christmas Cards
Musical Christmas greeting cards are still not the norm, but they are becoming more common. You can often find musical Christmas greeting cards in local stores. If you're shopping online, you will be able to find musical Christmas greeting cards to suit your fancy.
Gatefold Christmas Cards
Like tri-fold photo holder Christmas cards, gatefold photo holder Christmas cards have three panels when you open them, but rather than folding in an accordion fashion as tri-fold photo holder Christmas cards do, these unusual photo holder Christmas cards have two outer panels that close like doors over the front of the card. When you open the doors, the card folds out into three sections. You can find these kind of photo holder Christmas cards in several designs, usually with a place for a photo in the middle section and text on either side.
Personalized Digital Christmas Cards
If you really want an unusual Christmas card, go all digital and create online photo Christmas cards personalized with your own images and text. Online services such as Smilebox now make it easy to create great looking photo Christmas cards that are much more personal than the standard animated Christmas cards that only allow room for you to add a short message at the end.
