I have just recieved my pack to create my Christmas cards from "Cauliflower cards" ... I am looking for inspiration on what designs to do that would look really special, as I have a range of ages (including my own) 5months, 15months, 2 1/2 , and 4 years old I was thinking of doing somthing with handprints .... but really wanted it to look different and not just like another children's christmas card ... the wow factor!

What are you all doing?:)

There is a post on here somewhere for this company "cauliflower cards" where you can create an A4 picture / collage etc and send it off to the company to have them made into Chrsitmas cards. They are reasonably priced for us and you can sell them on at a pound extra to parents to make a bit of money too!!!

Really great idea, I will look for post later ....

Thinking of doing reindeer.....foot print for face..and hand prints for antlers....
or Father Xmas with hand print...fingers pointing down these will then represent the beard. Can I ask about the prices? On order form states £5.50 then on form for us states £4.50...What do you do anout the pound..noticed on back of cards mentions about charities or help towards School etc..what does everyone do about this???

I am just charging the price I will be charged, I am not adding the extra pound as I dont have many mindees and would not be worht it so just explaining to parents about it really. Think on the back it will still say the same and your business name, but the parnets will know if you explain.
Or you could donate the extra pound to a charity which you would name, ACTUALly, I may do this instead, donate to a childrens cause ...

I like the reindeer idea!!!:thumbsup: Could be messy , love it:p

The older children are designing their cards now and are helping the lo's. We have snowman, trees, angels, peppa pig and I have done a naivity scene.

Children are having great fun so worth it!!!
