We were thinking about making our own Christmas cards, like we do every year, so we were looking for some inspiration and found a few interesting things. Here are our top Christmas card designs this year:
1. Pantone Christmas Cards - These come in classic Christmas Pantone colours. Classic.
2. Johnson Banks Ram-Punched Christmas Card - Both the tree and the angel cards have been in the book for the D&Ad awards and the Christmas tree won a Design Week award in 2009.
3. Magical Christmas Card - Swedish Post (Posten) and Crispin Porter + Bogusky have won an Interactive Gold at the 2010 Clio Awards for their Magical Christmas Cards campaign, made out of recycled magazines.
4. Simple Pop-Up Cards - We thought these creative pop up cards were a really nice, innovative idea. Easily made at home following the instructions provided.
5. Smelly Christmas Tree Card - Two bits of card are slotted together to create this creative christmas card. It's also scented with white spirit to capture the smell of a screen printing room.
6. Envelope and fold-out Christmas Tree Card - Beautifully designed card and envelope set that opens to reveal a post card with removable christmas tree shaped cut outs, that slot together to create a 3D design.
7. Pack of 10 laser cut Christmas Cards - Available from Not on the High Street for £34.99, these cards may be a bit pricey but definitely worth the money!
