SPD: Christmas Card Frame

Dec 13, 2012

I am back again today joining up with Katie and Steph for another rendition of Saw It Pinned It Did It.

This week, a Christmas card frame.
I pinned this last Christmas season
 and this year put it into action.
I used a frame that we already had from our frame wall, and multiple colors and types of ribbon I had in my collection and hung it up on our striped wall

I started with:
a frame (I had or Goodwill is always a good/cheap resource)
hot glue gun and glue sticks
1-5 types of ribbon or fabric
double sided tape (to tape cards on)

This was such an easy and quick project.
Literally, it took me about 5 minutes to do this.
Measure your ribbon or fabric and apply a small dab of hot glue on each side.
Seriously, couldn't be easier.
I was really hoping we would have more Christmas cards before I did this post...
I swear we usually have more than this by now.

I really like the way this turned out and think I will do it again next year!
It also really makes me want to find a frame/art/mirror for this striped wall now.
First project after the new year...

P.s. I am participating in a giveaway over at Shanna's blog!

First love this idea! Second omg I totally agree. We have only received TWO cards so far! What's up with that!

This is SO cute. I saw something similar but with wires, and I like yours a lot better. Count me in with loving the striped wall. I think everyone is behind on Christmas cards this year (myself included).

You have more cards than we do :)

I am glad to see you hang up "old fashioned" cards, too. I saw a post on another blog last year where the family hung up photo cards that came but didn't display regular, folding, non-photo cards (since we don't have kids yet and Fred is usually covered in drool, these are the kind I send out after careful selection & note writing). Rude!

What a great idea! I usually just hang ours on the back of your front door.

J and A December 13, 2012 at 11:08 AM  

This is fantastic! I love it!! I may have to try this!! :)

Sara December 13, 2012 at 11:31 AM  

wow, I love this, wonder if I have time yet to make one...

Stopping by from the link-up! Your card holder turned out so cute! You're not alone though... we've only received 3 Christmas cards so far this year! :( It's definitely at tradition that is fading out!

Joy December 13, 2012 at 12:14 PM  

It looks great! I'm going to host a Christmas card link up on Monday so that everyone can show off their Christmas cards and wish everyone a Wonderful holiday season. I can't wait to see what everyone did this year!

Terri December 13, 2012 at 12:51 PM  

This is really pretty! I like how simple, functional and yet stylish and really cute for the holidays :)

Alison @ Get Your Pretty On December 13, 2012 at 1:51 PM  

Love this idea! I seriously have NO clue what to do with all of our Christmas cards every year. This is a great way to display them and so easy even I could do it!

This is so fun and easy! We need more Christmas card too...maybe we don't have as many friends as we thought!

Ashley December 13, 2012 at 2:41 PM  

Yes, yes, and more yessess. Love this idea!

Casey December 13, 2012 at 8:08 PM  

Cute! Mine is pretty similar, but I took the back and covered it with wrapping paper so right now (when we don't have a lot of cards) it still looks cute on the wall.

Angie December 14, 2012 at 5:19 AM  

That is really cute! Good job!

Jen December 14, 2012 at 8:22 AM  

This is a really fun idea also. Would it be wrong to have two card holders...ha! I think I may need more Christmas cards :)

Unknown December 14, 2012 at 10:11 AM  

Ok this just might be my favorite Christmas card holders to date!!! So so cute!!

Thanks for linking up with us again sweet girl!! xoxo

I love this! My cards are all just propped up on a bookshelf right now - will have to do something clever like you next year. Also: your striped wall is SO GREAT.
