IROCKSOWHAT did a blog post and giveaway last month for Pear Tree and we thought it had lots of great Christmas card ideas that we wanted to share the post with our readers.

Homemade Christmas gift ideas from Our Holly Days
Our Holly Days is another one of our beloved Pearistas. Holly decided to create a DIY Elf-ing Treat using Pear Tree’s Christmas notelettes. We love homemade Christmas gift ideas and we wanted to share this one with our readers. Enjoy!
J & I have the sweetest neighbors. They are always bringing over toys for the boys to play with & sneaking them Squeez-It’s on hot days. Sometimes they bring their cat out to let the boys pet her & they always stop to listen to their stories.
I think elf-ing your neighbors is such a sweet idea & it’s a tradition that J & I decided to start with the kids this year. I had some extra apple butter from the batch I made, so we decided to use it for the neighbors’ elf treat. And Pear Tree’s sweet new Christmas Notelettes & Christmas gift tags/personalized stickers are perfect for elf-ing!
Isn’t this just the sweetest little thing? Anything that is miniature is automatically 10x cuter. Besides, homemade apple butter. I went ahead & brushed off both my mom win & awesome neighbor shoulders for this one.
Christmas Card Shopping Myth #5: Address Labels Are For Wimps
Address labels for wimps? We beg to disagree. Address labels are the best things to happen to addressing Christmas cards since the invention of the printing press (the one that prints sticky back address labels, anyway). Here at Pear Tree we wouldn’t order cards without them and there are several good reasons why.
These handy little labels not only save time addressing Christmas cards, they give your envelopes a ton of personality to help your greetings stand out in the mail. While we’re at it, we might as well dispel the myth that return address labels have to go on the front upper left corner of your envelope. They look even better on the back, which is where your friends and family will get a surprise when they flip to open your card.
Christmas card shopping Myth #4: You don’t have time to make Christmas cards!
Yes, it’s the busiest time of year, what with all the gift buying and wrapping, decorating and cookie baking. But the I-don’t-have-time myth deserves to be busted, because with our lineup of Quick Christmas Cards you can personalize and order a Christmas card in just ten minutes!
Choose from dozens of quick Christmas card ideas that all feature just one favorite photo and a minimal amount of text to edit. All you have to do is upload a photo from your desktop and drop it into the card. Then just add your name or personal message and, whoot, you’re done! If time is really tight, you can choose priority or rush shipping for just a few dollars extra.
Christmas card shopping Myth #3: You can’t afford cards for everybody on your list
We know, the cards are sooo tempting, but your mailing list is sooo long that you can’t afford to send one of these fun cards to everyone. But we have a few tricks up our sleeve to solve this dilemma. Here are a few ways to trim your budget without trimming your mailing list.
- Send 2 different holiday cards: splurge on the card for close friends who live nearby, and send a different card to those who live far away (or at least won’t be comparing cards over the holidays). Or choose a card with room for newsy details to send to those you haven’t seen in a while, and just photos for those you see often.
- Look for flat, 2-sided photo Christmas card ideas for the best prices on our premium cardstock, matte-finish designs.
