My Favourite Handmade Christmas Cards in 2018

NEW CHRISTMAS CARD GUIDE: 2019 EDITION – AVAILABLE HERE!

Christmas 2018 is coming around very quickly…

I think we all want to find that special card for our friends and family members.

You won’t find too many of the big high street names in this post…

I am looking to promote individual designers and small companies, just like me, that create such wonderful unique cards from small studios or just from home; mainly cards that are British designed and produced in Britain.

It’s so easy to just buy a pack of cards and use them for everyone.

I know it takes time and effort locating a personalised card for all the family members, but just think how much that means at this time of year and the joy of knowing someone thought of just you!

Many of the personalised cards featured have numerous choices, so I’m sure you will find one for that special person you have in mind!

So, don’t panic I have put together a great selection to help you with that search at this busy time of year. I have divided this guide into easy-to-use sections to help you locate that perfect card.

Here are some quick links to the card type you’re after:
