holiday cards: designs by val

Around my house, it’s beginning to look a lot like Chrisssssstmaaaaas. I’ve got the tree up, the lights on outside, and the table set with sparkling serveware. At the beginning of December, I like to spend one night writing out Christmas cards while listening to my favourite holiday tunes {The Pogues’ Fairytale of New York and Rum DMC’s Christmas Is, to be exact}.

This year, I’ve fallen in love with a collection of cards from Vancouver designer Valerie Lau. Her shop, Designs by Val, is an obsession of mine, but this Christmas has exceeded all my prior favourites. At $4.50 each or $18 for a box of eight, these are the unique kind of cards that will have recipients ooh-ing and aah-ing. Below are a few of my picks for this season, nestled amongst my home’s holiday cheer.

christmas cards for a good cause

katwright christmas cards for a good causeThinking of sending Christmas cards this year? If you are, be sure to make them green cards. There are lots out there, but I love the idea of Notes to Nourish.

They’re limited-edition card sets featuring original art by Lower Mainland B.C. artists and designers. Each set consists of four cards printed on chlorine-free 100% recycled, postconsumer waste paper, and money raised from them will go to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society and British Columbia SPCA.

Artists whose work is in Set 1 (shown above, at right) are Sarah Cavanaugh, Jean Lee, Anne Pearce & Robyn Sommerville; in Set 2 (left) it’s that of Chris Allen, Nova Hopkins, Luke Krienke & Kathryn Wright.
