Instead of sending a pre-printed holiday greeting card that gets displayed for a while then whisked into a box somewhere, think about shaking things up a little this year. Instead of a seasonal card, think about getting a print that will last for years and with a chic aesthetic that would look good in any modern decor.
The range of materials and printing processes available today are nothing short of amazing. You can can choose from textured paper, glass, even aluminum panels.
Here are my suggestions to replace the tired old holiday cards.
Instead of the larger size gallery blocks, send something that will fit on a desk or hang in a smaller space in a hallway. Floating gallery blocks are chic, modern, and classy. They make a great showcase for your photography and fit with any decor.
Have your favorite photos turned into attractive holiday decorations. An interesting idea is to commemorate major life events with metallic print ornaments and watch the progression of change over the years.
The advantage to prints on metal is they last nearly indefinitely.
Useful and decorative, image boxes put your photos on stylish and useful storage boxes. Also a clever substitute for wrapping paper.
Another print option that lasts virtually forever. Prints on glass that really stand out, are stylish, and easy to hang. They come in wall size and desk size prints and the prices are fairly reasonable.
Hopefully this gets you thinking about ways to break up the holiday greeting card monotony in time to do something about it before the holidays.
