Holiday Card Displays

In the next few days our friends and family will be receiving our holiday cards in their mailboxes.  And while we are awaiting the arrival of our first card, I am wondering, like every year, what are we going to do with them when they arrive?

Holiday cards should be celebrated and I am in search of the perfect way to display friends and family in our home.

I think the one above from Land of Nod is my the current front runner but if you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them!  How do you display holiday cards in your home?  If it keeps the paint from coming off the walls/trim, even better!

  2. ha! I just bought that land of not one last week, but I don't have it yet! I actually was thinking of using it for pictures, as Maggie keeps insisting I hang them up, but cards are a great idea!

  3. I have the Pottery Barn tree from a few years ago. I saw some cute ones at Pier1 this weekend. And my crafty neighbor made her own with holiday ribbon & mini clothes pins painted red & green.

  4. Hello, i'm a new follower from Meet Me Monday. I love your blog and the heading picture is adorable!!! So much fun are girls :) LOL! Thanks for this post. i have so good ideas. Every year I struggle with what to do. One year I arched them over my hallway...but I really want something in particular to put them on. Growing up my parent's had a felt tree we would tack up and then put cards on.
    thanks again

  7. We just got our first card today and I was pondering this same thing. I like the Martha Stewart wreath idea, of course. I'm thinking I can make something like it with a couple of coat hangars, some ribbon, and some pretty painted clothespins. =)

  9. thank you so much for posting this. right now i just tape mine around the dining room pass through. which i hate doing, but i haven't really found something that would hold enough cards or that i liked. i think that i'm going to steal either the land of nod idea or the martha stewart one!! (i'm ALL about idea theft!)

  10. I normally just tape them to the closet door but I really like the LON or Martha Stewart displays. I just received my first card today so I better think of something quick!

  12. Great post! This is something I struggle with every year. Last year I strung a long plastic garland (that had holly and berries, etc.) across the wall (we have a cedar wall/ easy to hang things on) and punched holes in the cards and hung with ornament hangers. If I find a picture of it will post on my blog. It looked awesome but took some time to punch the holes and hang. I am looking for tiny clothes pins but not luck finding yet, will keep on checking the stores. I also like some of the ideas you have shown here.
    Merry Christmas,
    Julie
