Christmas Cards with Lots of Photos | 2017 Holiday Collection
Since having kids, I take a lot of photos. I mean A LOT. So naturally, I like to share those photos, and what better way than on a Christmas card! While I still love a gorgeous full bleed photo card with a simple “Merry Christmas” greeting, I’ve found myself gravitating towards Christmas card layouts with space for lots of photos. My 2017 holiday collection has a huge variety of multi photo designs – photo gallery layouts with space for lots of your square Instagram photos, simple designs with three photos, and festive photo collage Christmas cards. All perfect for sharing lots of photos of you and your kids! And if multiple photos on the front isn’t enough, I also offer a variety of backer layouts where you can add even more
Joyful Border is probably my favorite multi photo card in the collection. Featuring a real foil pressed border and 10 photos, what more could you ask for? Available exclusively at Banter & Charm

Foil Pressed Christmas Cards | 2017 Holiday Collection
Foil pressed Christmas cards are gorgeous, there is no denying that. But custom foil stamping comes with a higher price tag than most people like to pay for their Christmas cards. And it takes longer too (and let’s face it, you generally don’t have weeks and weeks to wait for your holiday cards). Those two issues are exactly the reason I’m offering a ready made foil Christmas card collection this year! These ready to order designs feature real pressed foil in your choice of gold, silver, rose gold, copper, or red.
