Beautiful Handmade Holiday cards

These beautiful handmade holiday cards are a fun Christmas craft activity for you and your kids. Eco-friendly holiday cards made with recycled paper.

Holiday cards have a special meaning for me; It makes me feel closer to those special people that are not close by. I usually hang the cards on my tree every year, making my tree filled with love.

Handmade cards add something special in comparison to store-bought cards because someone took their time to make them and they were made with love.

If you are planning to make your holiday cards this year, here I share some ideas that can help you with this beautiful holiday craft.

Eco-friendly cards

In August, I made a post called “Handmade Paper from Recycled Paper” I knew right then that I wanted to use these beautiful papers to make my holiday cards. In this post, I share different ways to make these beautiful handmade holiday cards with different materials.

Also, I ordered some brown envelopes made from recycled paper to send our cards by mail.
