We just arrived back from Hawaii last night and I got to making my homemade christmas cards immediately! I have wanted to do a card with some natural greenery on it for years, but had other card ideas that I kept using. What’s better is that the cards cost just $0.35 each.
I bought solid kraft paper cards and although they were of the fold over variety, I just sliced each in half to make a pack of 12 into a pack of 24. I then ran the cards through my printer with a simple and festive ” ’tis the season” message. A couple sprigs of boxwood from a $9.99 Trader Joes wreath and a little hot clue made them just perfect.
Rosemary would also make an adorable (and fragrant) card.
What do you think? Do you have an hour up your sleeve to spare on these darling cards?

darling! that would be such a fun surprise to receive in the mail!
I love that you cut the cards to essentially make postcards. So much easier than stamping with running them through the printer. I am so curious to see what the boxwood looks like dried after a while. It is like the card will take on a whole new look.

Hi Janeane, I made a few before my vacation to see how they’d dry and they still look really cute, but are just a tad crunchy, so I’d want to mail them fresh!
AMAZING! Love. Love. Love these
