How to make Handmade Christmas cards even better?
Make them yourself! Making your own handmade Christmas cards do not have to be
- Expensive
- Time-consuming
- Fiddly
I often recycle elements from old Christmas cards to make into new ones. Plus many hobby stores sell Christmas bundle packs which include anything and everything you could possibly want and need to make handmade Christmas cards as well as many other Christmas crafts.

3 Places to Buy Handmade Christmas Cards
Etsy
We all know and love Etsy for various different things. Etsy is full of independent sellers. They will handmake and often offer personalisation to your items that you buy from them. I personally LOVE this pack of 6 cards from ButtonsOnTheRocks.
Notonthehighstreet.com
I actually didn’t know about notonthehighstreet until about 4 or 5 years ago. This is THE place to go for personalised gifts, and cards. I use them all the time and love that you can find things on here that you can’t find anywhere else. Hence the name, notonthehighstreet. Check out their range of handmade cards here.
PaperChase
Ok, I know that paperchase is a chain. It doesn’t mean that some of the cards aren’t handmade though. They have a huge range from funny, a bit rude to sweet and sickly. Plus with their reward card, it’s always a nice incentive. Especially for the stationery obsessed like me. Of course, you can also buy supplies to make your own handmade Christmas cards from PaperChase as well!

Essential Craft Items for Christmas Card Making
The Range
The range has a big craft section. It seems to cover all basis, from the basics of paint, glue and paper to die-cutting machines for a more polished and professional aesthetic.
Hobby Craft
Much like the range, but dedicated to art and craft (my personal heaven). Hobby craft has everything you could ever desire for handmade Christmas cards. Or ANYTHING handmade.
Etsy
Etsy is not just for buying readymade handcrafted items, they also have a huge range of craft supplies for loads of different crafts. Although they can be slightly more pricey, they are the most individual and unique when it comes to the different materials and embellishments you can buy.
