Ladder Christmas Card Display

Make pretty holiday cards part of your decor by displaying them on a painted ladder. Tuck the cards over or between bungee cords screwed in place in an X pattern. Add hooks to the sides to hang stockings or candy-filled cones.

Evergreen Christmas Card Display

Use classic Christmas decorations for a nostalgic Christmas card display. Place evergreen branches with pinecones still intact in a metal urn. If the branches don't have pinecones, use floral wire to attach them. Place the cards within the branches. Set the urn on a metal serving dish embellished with a large pinecone and holly.

Creative Christmas Card Wreath

Try this fresh way to show off holiday cards. Wrap a straw wreath form with upholstery webbing (available at fabrics stores), securing it in place with small sewing pins. Tie a bow at the top and loop a length of it through the back to hang. Attach cards with binder clips.

Ribbon Christmas Card Wall Hanging

Hang pretty cards with ribbon for a festive display. To create a ribbon card hanger, simply stitch ribbon in flaps and attach a kicky bow at one end with a few stitches. Add a picture hanger to the back of the bow and hang on the wall. Tuck a card under each flap and adhere with double-stick tape.

Christmas Card Garland

Recycle holiday cards with this clever garland idea. Trace a cookie-cutter shape around the most visually interesting part of the card. Cut out the shape, punch a hole, and tie it to pine garland with narrow red ribbon or yarn.

Tree of Christmas Cards

Display your holiday cards on an easy-to-assemble tabletop tree. Fill a pitcher with twigs. Festoon twigs with ribbon and use binder clips to attach the cards.

Jingle Bell Display

Big bells can be used for more than their good looks and sweet sound. Tip them over to create the perfect perch for your holiday cards.

Berry and Christmas Wall Hanging

Add rustic charm to your holiday decor with this clever card-display idea. Use twine to tie a bundle of berried twigs (use florist's picks if you don't have real ones), nail it to the wall, and place cards randomly in the branches.

Christmas Card Memo Board

Cards easily slip behind ribbons on this snowflake memo board. To make this wall decoration, staple batting and fabric over a corkboard. Use thumbtacks to adhere ribbon in the shape of a snowflake to the board. Hot-glue decorative buttons to cover the thumbtack for a wintery card display.

Wire Tree Christmas Card Holder

This twisty tree is part,art, part card catchall. To make, shape wire into a funky tree form with small triangles to hold the cards and a star tree topper. Spray-paint the tree white. Stand the tree against a bare wall and hold in place with small nails. As the holiday tidings arrive, slip them onto the tree as bright ornaments.

Christmas Card Centerpiece

This centerpiece will bring a piece of the kitchen to the dining room table for a creative way to display your favorite Christmas cards. Stick a sedum ball into a clear vase. Stick large forks into the ball and place cards between the tines. Tie the vase with a velvet bow.

Vintage Card Display

Sea salt "snow," small ornaments, pine branches, and a black-and-white vintage Christmas card transform a glass lamp base into a festive holiday display.

Mirrored Christmas Card Display

Drape long pieces of ribbon over a mirror on a mantel, using tape to secure the ribbon to the back of the mirror. Tape or pin Christmas cards to the ribbon for an easy and decorative way to share Christmas greetings. For a more elegant look, use cards with the same theme, such as the poinsettia cards shown, or pick bright and bold cards for festive cheer.

Christmas Card Ornaments

Turn plain Christmas cards into festive ornaments. Choose cards with a simple design. Cut off the front of the card. Cover the back of the card in foil, folding the foil over the sides so they form a border in front. Stamp a seasonal greeting if the card doesn't already have one. Punch a hole in the card and hang with a ribbon. String beads or jewels onto the ribbon for an extra touch.

Christmas Card Canister

Slip just-arrived holiday cards inside a clear glass canister for a bright and colorful way to showcase Christmas greetings. Place the canister on a side table or, for a surprising decoration, onto a kitchen shelf next to cooking supplies.

Christmas Card Wreath

Turn your favorite holiday cards into a whimsical wreath. Cut the cards into different-size circles (simplify the job with scrapbooking punches). Arrange the circles into a wreath shape, overlapping and securing the pieces with crafts glue. With a sewing machine, stitch over the top. Attach a ribbon to the top with a colored paper clip and hang.

Christmas Card Door Display

Take holiday cards off the mantel and display them in style. Tape a variety of ribbons to the front of an armoire or door. Create a random grid pattern to give your display a fun, modern feel. Use double-stick tape to attach new or vintage cards to the ribbons.

Framed Santa Card Display

Gather a collection of Santa cards together in a vintage frame. The cards are mounted on the ribbons with tape, then draped and taped (or tacked) around the back of the frame.

Basket Christmas Card Display

Weave wonders using a basket and pinecones to make a display for your favorite greeting cards. Pinecones make natural card stands; just clip a few scales if necessary. Accent the basket with sprigs or berries.

Santa Card Chair Decoration

Punch holes in each card and string through pretty ribbon to add to a chair back or over a doorway.
