Texting, LOL-ing and liking your loved ones’ Instagrams have become de facto means of keeping in touch. But with the arrival of the holiday season ― and, with it, the waves of holiday cards ― we’re reminded of just how fleeting digital communications can be. The delightful tradition of giving and receiving holiday cards lives on during the winter months, and the rarity of physical correspondence makes each card we are given all the more special. In order to maximize enjoyment of every single note this season, we partnered with Tiny Prints to share the most creative and attractive ways to display your holiday cards. If you’re looking for decorating ideas beyond the basic stand-’em-on-the-mantel setup or refrigerator door display, take a peek at these celebratory DIY projects for a serious dose of inspiration.
