Xmas mood

The holiday spirit is slowly bewitching us all and I think it's time to have a look at some exceptional Christmas cards, just to get all warmed up and ready:

(1)
Retro Snowman card

Design a picture note card with zazzle.com
This is an understated card from Reprise, a gallery specializing in retro and vintage designs. I like the '40s aesthetics and the lack of glittering embellishments. A warm, old-fashioned design that makes me nostalgic.

(2)
This approach, by Anjo Lafin's Talisbird store, is completely different. A surrealistic, humorous and bold design of a sad monster hoping for some merrymaking. Thumbs up from me, and may things work out for this little fellow!

(3)
LET IT SNOW card
LET IT SNOW by PerGis_NOSaints
Shop for another card at zazzle
It's snowing words on this unusual PerGis NOSaints card. Texture and typography combine to create an upbeat, fresh holiday design. Me likes!

(4)
An abstract, yet distinctly yuletide, card from FlyBella. I love the geometric forms (especially those great vertical lines) and the colors. This gallery offers many beautiful, richly-textured Christmas cards.

(5)
Thin Ice Khristmas Kard card

I found this hilarious card, in the characteristic "spooky clown" style of Chiodo Bros. and I think it's a killer! Definitely a gallery worth checking for lots of outrageous weirdness of the most creative kind. These brothers deserve their fame and success!
