It’s that time of year again. You’re walking through the aisles of the supermarket loudly exclaiming at the sheer amount of Christmas stuff that shouldn’t possibly be on sale yet. Michael Buble has just released yet another album, and Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ is blasting on the loudspeakers.
In the spirit of giving, we’ve made a list of 19 festive Christmas cards that will bring you grins and giggles. Let these cards and our templates inspire you to make your very own personalized cards (using Canva!) for your loved ones this year.
