Mistletoe: a playful Christmas card
A sprig of mistletoe tied with a thin red ribbon, painted hanging from the top of soft sage paper, the greeting beneath.
From $2 a card with postage included. The price falls to $1.50 a card on 50 or more.
About this design
Mistletoe hangs from the top edge of soft sage paper, tied with a thin red ribbon in a small bow. The sprig is painted with oval green leaves and pale berries, and the greeting sits beneath in a tall italic, with a small line in red capitals and your names below.
It is the one for a partner, a long distance love, or a couple who still make eyes at each other across the room. The sage keeps it calm and the red ribbon adds the spark. If the mistletoe joke is not your style, the small line is yours to rewrite, and the back is best kept short and personal.
The words on the front
These are text fields on the order page, and the preview there shows exactly what will print.

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, my love. I hung the mistletoe where you will walk under it. I will be waiting by the hallway door, so wear the green sweater.A message idea, signed Nora
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.
- Merry Christmas to my favorite person. I loved choosing the tree with you and arguing about the lights. Let’s do this every year.
- Our first Christmas together, and I already want to do it again. Merry Christmas, love.
- Merry Christmas to the person who agreed to share a blanket and not steal it. We’ll see how long that lasts.
