There are so many beautiful Christmas cards out there these days that it seems logical to somehow incorporate them into your festive decor rather than shoving them into one of those card holders where they are get overlapped and hidden, and not shown off. I wanted to share with you a few of my favourite card designs, but at the same time give some inspiration for how to display them and use some of your favourite cards to actually decorate this Christmas.
I really urge you to try and buy some independently designed cards this year - Sarah Hamilton's Just a Card campaign highlights the importance of this, so even if it is just one of two for your favourite people, try and support those designer/makers who work so hard for their art.
There are some discount codes at the bottom of this post for the card designers featured, so make sure you scroll to the end and make use of those!
For this scene I used a twig which I covered in foliage and hung using fishing wire. Then I simply added a mini bulldog clip to each card and hung it from the twig with some festive ribbon.

This one is a bit more playful and colourful, as well as super easy as all you need is some washi tape! Simply sticking some of your favourite cards on the wall and mixing in a few paper decorations and sprigs of greenery, creates a really simple wall display and shows off the cards beautifully.
