Receiving a handmade Christmas card is somehow more special.

Now your card is finished, all you still need to do is write a message inside, pop it in an envelope, and post it.

But what's that, you're worrying that your cards aren't good enough to send out? Rubbish! In this age of mass-production, it's a delight to receive handmade Christmas cards, to receive something that a friend's taken the time to make, rather than an arbitrary card bought in a supermarket discount bin.

Merry (handmade and hand-painted) Christmas!
