Clementine: a sliced orange Christmas card
Sliced oranges, clementines, evergreen and cinnamon painted along the bottom of warm cream, the greeting above in a light italic.
From $2 a card with postage included. The price falls to $1.50 a card on 50 or more.
About this design
Clementine lines the bottom edge of warm cream paper with painted fruit: halved oranges showing their segments, whole clementines, sprigs of evergreen and a few cinnamon sticks. Above it, Merry Christmas stands in a deep red italic with a small line of wishes below, and the open cream gives the lettering plenty of room.
It feels like a winter table before the guests arrive. It suits friends, coworkers and relatives you bake for, and anyone who wants a Christmas card that is cheerful without being loud. Cream paper is an easy background for handwriting, so a few warm lines on the back sit well beside it.

On the back
Your message prints on the left of the back in a handwriting-style font, up to 700 characters on a 4x6 card and 1,400 on a 6x9. We print the recipient’s address and the postage on the right, so there is nothing to address, fold or stick.
Merry Christmas! Peel an orange, put your feet up and take a minute for yourself. We are thinking of you and hoping for a slow, sweet week. Save room for dessert.A message idea, signed Priya and Daniel

- Coffee in January? I’m buying. Merry Christmas, friend.
- Merry Christmas from the friend who hasn’t finished shopping and is calling that a plan. Hope yours is going better.
