Start Your Scribbling — Time to Order Your Holiday Greetings

The holidays are coming, and that means it’s time to get out your address book and start sending out cards. Instead of sending the same ones everyone else does, why not go for something chic, fun, and individual? Here in our Stationery and Greeting Showcase we gathered together some of our favorite independent online designers and shops.

Here’s one of our faves from BaldGuyGreetings.com–  FabSugar is a fan as well.

(OUTSIDE) Happy Birthday Jesus.

(INSIDE) This is actually a birthday card for a Hispanic kid named Jesus. But I think it works for Christmas too.

Here are some more stationery and greeting finds:

• thedailyobsession loves WhimsyPress.com. Their paper goods line has fun and retains a level of sophistication.

 Over on stylehivemembers are buzzing about ’bloom’ Christmas Cards By Artecnica — a whimsical series of pop-up cards that can be used as greeting cards, gift tags, gift ornaments, decorations, ornament stickers, book marks, or as a gesture of love to your dear ones.

Stiletto Jungle, a blogger at ThisNext likes Prima Creative, an indie greeting card company that specializes in “fun and funky” cards for every occasion with style you won’t find at your local mega-store. The new Prima Creative Christmas Cards  features dressmaker’s forms decked out in festive holiday dresses with a girly pink background.
