Very beautiful!! These are exactly what i was looking for to create custom Christmas cards this year! They are very detailed and super cute! A bit more glossier than i wanted, but they will be great!!
I used these postcards to make my Christmas cards I knew these were postcards when I bought them a few years ago and that's exactly what I needed for my hand-made cards. The back page describes them as so, as does an excerpt. I used black photo corners on them and attached them to dark red card stock. Then I wrapped a gold metallic pipe cleaner around the fold and twisted both ends. I rubber stamped and embossed a Merry Christmas greeting inside it. They turned out beautifully and no two were alike. I received many compliments on my Victorian Christmas cards.
Very Disappointed I wanted to order Christmas cards early because you never know how long it will take mail to go through when you are overseas. I like the idea of "old Fashioned Christmas Cards" and these were listed as Christmas Cards, not Post-cards which is in fact what they are. I like cards you put in envelopes, not cards where everyone reads what you write. Post-cards are much to impersonal for Christmas.Old-Fashioned Christmas Cards: 24 Cards
Buyer beware -- these are postcards! Although darling, these cards are not what I expected when I ordered Christmas cards. They're postcards that you have to tear apart yourself. For me, sending a postcard for Christmas seems tacky. Adding to the potential tackiness are the perforated edges. They don't tear apart easily and end up looking rather hideous. What a disappointment.
Also, the cards are by their nature rather culturally insensitive, owing to the fact that they're from the early 1900s and only show white people, breezily ignoring all others. (Of course, this is something you would probably expect before ordering, whereas the fact that they're postcards was totally unexpected.)
Just what I was looking for This book is a series of vintage postcards, four postcards per page. It's great for looking through, but also a great for sending out Christmas cards at a lower cost (postcard stamps). The book easy easy to break apart - just take out the staples holding it together and tear away at the perforated edges! I have gotten more compliments this year than any other on how wonderful my Christmas cards were. The old-fashioned charm and warm sentiments in the cards were perfect.
