Christmas · Quiet Classic
Holly Press: a quiet holly Christmas card
A small painted holly sprig in the corner of the card, the greeting printed in a classic serif. Quiet, personal, Christmas.
From $2 a card with postage included. The price falls to $1.50 a card on 50 or more.
About this design
Holly Press keeps to one small sprig of holly, painted with glossy leaves and a pair of red berries, in the upper left corner of a cream card. Merry Christmas follows in a classic serif, with a small line and your names beneath it. Most of the card is plain paper.
That empty space is on purpose. It suits couples, grandparents and anyone who prefers a card that sounds like a note. Send it to the people you write to once a year. Change any of the three lines to make it yours, and write a few lines on the back so it reads as a note from a friend, not a mailing.
The words on the front
These are text fields on the order page, and the preview there shows exactly what will print.
- Greeting up to 20 characters, starts as “Merry Christmas”
- Small line up to 44 characters, starts as “with love and every good wish”
- From up to 32 characters, for example “Hannah and Ben”
Colors: Cotton palette. Available as 4x6 and 6x9.
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. It has been far too long since we sat down together, and I miss it. Come by in the new year and stay for dinner, our sofa is yours. Bring cookies.A message idea, signed Hannah and Ben
What to write on the back
A few lines to start from. On the order page you can tap one to use it, then change any word.
- This year was harder than we let on, and you showed up anyway. I wanted you to know I noticed. Merry Christmas, and thank you.
- We packed the car and forgot the good dish again. Some things never change, and I’m glad. Merry Christmas to all of you.
- Wishing you and the whole family a peaceful Christmas. It means a great deal to me that we still gather every year.
