Things to remember when making Holiday cards with your kids:
1) If you have a lot of relatives and friends, mass production is an important factor. While it would be nice to give everyone a specially designed and created unique card, it isn’t always practical. Think about stencils, stamps and printing to help things move along quickly.
2) Keep your cards to a standard postage size otherwise you may find yourself shelling out a lot more than you expected at the post office.
3) If you are creating collaged cards made with things from nature, and you want to send them overseas, check international quarantine laws about posting plant matter.
