Christmas Cards and Nature ~ 2 days!

December 23, 2021 By Talya Tate Boerner 7 Comments

christmas card display with nature

Today I want to show you how I display Christmas cards and nature together, creating a festive holiday mood board of sorts. But first, I would like to thank everyone who keeps me on their Christmas card list. I’m not very consistent in mailing out cards. Last year I mailed Thanksgiving cards; this year I never got around to sending any sort of cards. But I really do love receiving them in the mail, and if I had been a bit more organized, I would have mailed you one this year.

Next year, I’ll try to do better.

This will be a short post because this is such a super easy thing to do.

  1. Find a blank space in your house. I use the door between the dining room and library. It’s a door we rarely shut so it’s the perfect spot to display Christmas cards.
  2. Arrange your Christmas cards in whatever pattern you like. I subscribe to the random pattern by simply taping up cards as they arrive in the mail. I use two-sided Scotch tape to adhere the cards to the door.
  3. Forage for bits of nature in your backyard or neighborhood.
  4. Add nature in the blank spaces between Christmas cards. Patterned/colored washi tape will secure stems + add color.

Christmas Cards and nature

I like to include nature throughout our home no matter the season. In winter, once leaves and blossoms have fallen away from plants, nature leaves all sorts of gifts for us to enjoy.

You can also add other tiny treasures between cards. Jingle bells, bits of tinsel, feathers, pretty gift tags, old black-and-white photos, etc.

Much like yesterday’s Charlie Brown’s snow post, kids could help with this project too.

This is how my Christmas cards and nature display looks this morning:

It’s the day before the night before Christmas, and I know you are busy. Thanks for reading!

    Love your “Card Door”. Once when I was a teenager, I displayed our cards in the shape of a Christmas tree on the knotty pine of the den. In those days we sent out hundreds of cards. 🥰

    My cards are with yours in the Waiting Room, but I’m thinking about you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
