I am a huge proponent for sending out Christmas cards to my loved ones near and far each year. Even if I get to see them on Christmas, I still believe that the extra thought and effort that goes into writing hand written Christmas cards and mailing them out is a special tradition that I want to see carried out in my family for years to come. Last year and this year I made it a point to purchase locally made cards from some of my absolute favorite paperies around Canada. I do buy some of my cards in bulk (#6) but I also really like to find cards that I think play to each individuals personality, like the nog nog card for my aunt who loves to cook and bake. Here are 12 of my favorite local Christmas cards.
1. But for real, what is a sugar plum? Sea + Lake Paper Co.
2. Gold foil Noel + pink = the perfect girlie Christmas card. The Penny Paper Co.
