  • Warm Hugs & Hot Cocoa: a happy mug of hot chocolate
  • Have an Ice Christmas!: a penguin in a cozy beanie
  • Sweet Christmas Wishes: a smiling gingerbread man
  • Merry Everything: colorful Christmas lights on a navy sky

Easy Ways to Decorate Your Cards with Kids

1. Add glitter and sparkle

A little glitter glue on the snowflakes, the star or the Christmas lights makes every card shine. Glitter glue pens are much less messy than loose glitter!

2. Use festive stickers

Let kids add stars, snowflakes and little presents with Christmas stickers. It's easy for little hands and looks adorable.

3. Write the message with colorful markers

Kids can write their own message or draw a little picture on the back. Washable markers are a must!

4. Decorate the envelopes with washi tape

Colorful washi tape is a fun and easy way to seal the envelopes and make them look festive.

5. Print on good cardstock

Thick cardstock makes the cards sturdy enough for little hands to decorate without tearing.
