Unusual Christmas Cards Are Fun to Send
Each year, Americans send millions of cards during the holiday season, and most of them are traditional folded greetings or flat photo cards with faces of smiling families. Want to break out of the mold this year? Here are some unusual Christmas cards that pop up, play music, fold out, simply look a little different, or can even double as Christmas tree ornaments or Christmas letters.
Unusual Christmas Cards at PhotoWorks
Give your card a new look
PhotoWorks has some of the most unusual Christmas cards available online, including a selection of tri-fold cards, die-cut cards, round cards and cards that can double as a quick Christmas letter or even a tree ornament. Shown here are images of some of these interesting designs. For instance, you can buy a tri-fold card with a place for you to write a short Christmas letter inside (right), a card that allows you to insert three photos into the ornament images on the front and then write a short blurb about each photo inside the card (below left), or one that has a die-cut sleigh design on the cover and opens up to reveal your photo inside (below right). They also have some great designs not shown here, such as the "really big" postcard that measures almost 9.5 inches across and has room for a message on the back, or the square "Festival of Lights" card that can be folded to stand up.

- My sister is VERY creative. Her cards are always a joy to receive. One year the card was the family with all matching pj's. The letter was informative and fun to read. One year her letter was like a newspaper. Since the family was going all their seperate ways, (college, marriage etc.) what a way to write a NEWSY letter!
