My latest obsession on the Web is Etsy.com - home to all things handmade. I've recently been scouring the craft site for holiday stationery and came up with some lovely finds. Most of the selections below are letterpress and run for about $14.00 US for six cards. Not exactly inexpensive, but their handmade quality hopefully makes them worth the cost.
An ornate Scandanavian design featuring a stylized partridge in a pear tree. Etsy seller: byvikINK.
Also by the same seller are these two greeting cards. Feliz Navidad for a Latin-infused dose of merriment (above) and a lovely Hanukkah card below.
Etsy seller armatodesign created these traditional but modern letterpress cards. A Santa design with "naughty, nice, other" check boxes (above) and a gold and red partridge and pear tree design below.
For something more bright and modern, Etsy seller LookyLoo has a line of festive cards that could have easily been inspired by Dr. Seus.
Artisanal cards are possibly the best thing about the holidays - they're the ones that get displayed, right? I created a gallery for Canoe.ca of the best Canadian cardmakers, if you want to check it out: http://holidays.canoe.ca/Photos/2008/11/28/7566986.html -Rebecca
