A Snippet & Ink Christmas, #2

I have a really hard time going into stationery shops without spending at least, let's say, too much. Here are some of my favorite Christmas cards and do-it-yourself ideas.

1. I know this isn't a new one, but I think this card is hilarious. $3.50 at Papyrus.
2. If you have little ones, these are sweet ways to send greetings. MS via A Little Sussy.
3. How about this sassy invite for your holiday shindig? $15 for 10 by Hello! Lucky.
4. I don't think you can go wrong with vintage holiday cards. $2.99 from The Vermont Country Store.
5. With some bright paper, this pop-up tree is a cute idea. Instructions here.
6. I love this kitschy plaid photo card by Elum Designs. $14.00 for 10 at Sugar Paper.
7. Who knew a fruit cake could look so good! $5 by Felix Doolittle.
8. This card is sold out, but it is too cute not to share. Kate Spade via Ali Loves Curtis.
9. Some subway cheer for the urban holiday. $12.95 for 12 at Kate's Paperie.
10. Simple and stylish. Perfect. $6 by Pancake & Franks.

For those of you who prefer a virtual greeting card experience (or if you just forget until the last minute), Jacquie Lawson makes the sweetest animated cards. You can preview them for free, or you can pay $10 for a year of unlimited e-cards.

Update! I am loving these Christmas tree cards via Pink Shirts and Car Wrecks.
