So far I've been focused on all the yummy holiday stationery collections, but I'm sure there are a bunch of you planning to order custom cards this season. I've got a fun giveaway coming up on that a bit later today, but in the meantime I thought I'd gather a quick round-up of a few lovely custom holiday cards!
First up, these incredibly detailed die cut letterpress cards printed by Studio on Fire for Eight Hour Day. I love the typography details and the way the trees can be punched out of the main card to create a desktop Christmas tree:
On the more traditional side, Moontree Letterpress printed these holiday invitations with a beautiful poinsettia illustration by calligrapher Jennifer Nicholson:
Of course, if you're looking to include a family photo with your holiday cards, these cards from Wiley Valentine printed on cotton paper maintain a beautiful balance between the photo and holiday design details:
And finally, these custom holiday cards by Smock show how a single-color letterpress holiday card can be both simple and beautiful:

Do you have a tradition of custom holiday cards in your family? Are any of you planning to create your own holiday cards this season?

We usually scrap our cards using patterned card stock, die cutters, stamps, and anything I can get my hands on! This year I’m embroidering some card stock & they’ve turned out so cute thus far!
I’m loving the stand-up Christmas tree card.
Happy holidays! These cards are really setting the trend for this season.
These are great! esp the christmas tree card!!
btw, love the new Buttermilk type on your header :)Great font.
these are beautiful!
We usually string the cards along our foyer doorway, and my husband will even pin some to the tree. I love to keep them and reuse though in the future for art projects.
