These small boxes are great for tiny gifts or tuck small gifts in them and hang them on the tree. The boxes are just like those you use for other presents, only smaller. Begin by taking your Christmas cards and cutting on the fold. You can use the white half for the bottom of the box and the colorful half for the top or box lid. You may need to trim each a bit so they are the same size. Determine the depth of the box by drawing a square at each corner. For example, if your box is to be 1” deep, draw a 1” square in each corner. Score all four sides of the card along this 1” dimension. Then, make a cut 1” in on each of the four sides to form a tab, folding the tabs up like this:
Fold the sides in and glue the tabs in place and you’re halfway there! Repeat this same process for the box top. For a good fit, under trim the entire bottom card piece about 1/16” so that the top will fit snuggly over it.
Once you have done one box the process will seem much easier and you will be on your way to creating a wonderful collection of recycled boxes you will enjoy using and sharing.

We all now know to sneeze or cough into our elbows, but what about the obligatory social kiss or welcoming handshake? Many of us expect a kiss on arrival and when we leave but how are we to continue this tradition in a germ-filled world? Consider these steps to proper etiquette with attention to health. The traditional handshake too has been modified. Adopt a more “hip” approach by initiating a fist or elbow bump instead! That way you’ll avoid palm to palm contact and get the party started with an upbeat laugh for two. The recipient will no doubt appreciate your intent as well! Do you have any other healthy greeting alternatives to get the holiday parties and family gatherings off to a great start this year?

Before you toss the envelope the card came in, compare the return address to the one you have on file. Now is the perfect time to update your contact information. You may also want to write this address on the back of the card itself so you can refresh your addresses later, after the holiday rush is done if you prefer. Many enjoy displaying their holiday cards throughout the office or at home. Tape them to your office door or cubicle for all to see and enjoy. Or make a mobile, hanging them from above to spin and delight without taking up valuable workspace. Do you have a unique craft idea to share? Let us know. We’d love to include you in our after-season craft blog. Tags: CardsDirect, Christmas Cards, Fine Art Cards, Holiday Cards, Photo Cards
I just wanted to send a big thank you shout out to everyone! I hope you all enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday and opportunity to meet and eat with friends and family while remaining mindful of all we have to be thankful for. I am personally blessed to have a loving and supportive family at home as well as at work. My office family at CardsDirect is the best! In our line of business we get into the holiday spirit quite early! We are thinking Christmas even before the decorations start popping up at retail, and that seems to be happening earlier and earlier these days! We are appreciative of our valued customers who return year after year to place their greeting card orders. We know they are showing true thanks and appreciation to those they value throughout the year as well. Whether in the form of Thanksgiving cards or holiday cards, make sure you thank those who are important to you in some way and take a moment to reflect on all there is to be personally thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving! Tags: CardsDirect, Holiday Cards, thank you, thanks, thanksgiving, thanksgiving cards
Sadly, it seems one such volunteer was discovered to be a convicted sex offender and with children’s addresses and their privacy at stake, the post office has been forced to pull the plug on this longtime tradition. In some areas letters are assigned a computer code so that the return address is not seen. The real town of North Pole, Alaska does not have that capability though so letters sent to the North Pole will not be responded to this year. If you want a letter sent from Santa at the North Pole, here is a way to make it happen. Write a letter from Santa yourself. Put it in an envelope addressed to the recipient with Santa, North Pole as the return address. Be sure and put a first class stamp on it. Next, take this letter and put it inside another envelope. Address that envelope to: North Pole Holiday Postmark Tags: CardsDirect, Christmas Cards, Holiday Cards, letters to santa, recycled holiday cards, santa

Hand address. A hand addressed envelope stands apart from the usual junk mail. Many will open this envelope first. The recipient will appreciate the extra time and effort it took to hand-address their card. There is no need for one person’s handwriting on all of them so use several helpers if you need to. Just make sure their hand writing is acceptable! If budget allows, a hired calligrapher really adds a touch of elegance to your holiday mailing. 3. Accurate mailing list. Make certain your mailing list has the names spelled correctly. Avoid adding the person’s title as this may have changed and is not really necessary. Do spell out the company name and street address and use the more formal name such as Mr. Robert Hall, Jr. instead of Bob Hall. 5. Quick-stick envelopes. You may also want to purchase quick-stick envelopes. It is a time saver and a more professional presentation and you’ll not need sponge and water which can get messy. 6. Use postage stamps. Although metered mail is easy, use postage stamps for your holiday cards. Select holiday stamps that suit your company’s image. Holiday cards are warmly appreciated and let your recipients know that they are valued. Displayed throughout the season, your thoughtfulness is sure to be returned in kind.
