Receiving Christmas cards from family and friends is one of the big highlights of the season. We collect and display ours in a vintage wicker sleigh. And we have done it this way for several years. But after researching this post for a Simplified Bee reader who asked for creative ideas for displaying holiday cards, we might have a different approach next year.
Here is a simple and elegant way to display holiday card using an existing mirror. Martha Stewart used Lametta tinsel to create three swags perfect for hanging season’s greetings.
Using a picture frame and twine, holiday greeting cards are displayed beautifully with other festive décor. Thank Country Living for this idea!
Hang Christmas cards along a fireplace mantel with twine and colorful clothes pins. So simple! DIY or purchase a kit on Folksy.
With a little ribbon crisscrossed, this cabinet becomes a wonderful place to display cards. Brilliant idea found via Living Livelier.
Hanging cards on a door with decorative ribbons is also a fun idea. Here is the how to via Country Living.
Happy Holidays!

Love these images. Ours are all pinned around our large mirror in the dining room! By end of December it's all filled up!
Enjoy the weeks leading up to Christmas!

Perfect Post! I was just thinking this morning what to do. I actually like the first idea of putting them in a grouping in a Christmas container...
Kate's chain display is wonderful, but I like the simplicity of your sleigh, too.
Such fun inspiration Cristin! Looking forward to seeing you this month!

Love both of Kate's ideas! Right now my Xmas cards are tacked up on the bulletin board in my office -- not very creative!
These are great ideas. I did a cop out and bought the holder I had been eying for a few years at Willow House. Sometimes you just gotta spend a little money to get what want :) Here's a picture if you are interested - http://houseography.blogspot.com/2010/12/holidayography-christmas-card-displays.html
Great ideas; I especially love the ribbons on the door idea!
These are all so cute!!! I just drop mine in an antique crystal punchbowl that belonged to my grandmother. Then, I sift through them when I have more time!
Ho ho ho!!!

Cristin,
Love the variety of ideas because we just can't have only one. Especially if we decorate more than a main room with Christmas trees and festive goodies. I line/sit my cards up on various tables around several rooms. Cards are extremely decorative and add alot to the holiday feeling.

Love all of these ideas! Especially love hanging cards on ribbon in front of mirrors and windows.

Cristin...my Mom always displayed our cards...but I can't do it this year because I don't think I am going to get any out and it will make me feel guilty!
love the MStewart idea over the framed mirror....i'm going to have to copy that one...thanks for sharing some great ideas Cristin!
Lovely ideas! In past years I've hung them from ribbon on french doors leading into our home office (off the entryway)... this year they rest on a DIY Christmas tray in the familyroom. :)
These ideas are so much better than my stack of cards on my desk!
I think I need to hang them in front of one of our windows.
Thank you for sharing!
Happy Holidays, Cristin!

I love your ideas. I have this problem every year, and i always say, next year i will and never do it. So i decided to take on the the cardboard idea. Thanks so much. Lover you blog.
I needed some good ideas! Right now I have just a few tucked inside a wreath that hangs in the hallway. My favorite is the ribbons on the door!
Thanks for sharing!

What a fun way to display cards. I've always loved Kate's tree idea. So cute. I really need to get more creative in ways to display our cards!
I have been wondering what I would do with all of my cards this year. Thanks for the inspiration!
