Beautiful Medieval, traditional Catholic and Orthodox, nativity themed printable Christmas cards pack of 12 antique paintings and 4 additional edits. The art covers different versions of the nativity scene, the Annunciation, the Adoration of the Magi and shepherds and the journey of the Magi. The set also includes a broad range of artists from 14th-century Italian paintings, Hieronymus Bosch, to Sandro Botticelli to late 19th century African American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner. This covers a range of styles including International Gothic, Byzantine influence, Renaissance art, Religious iconography. It would also likely appeal to friends who like the Academia Aesthetic vibe.
For the inside of the cards there’s separate quirky greetings in each language (German, French, Swedish, Polish, Italian, Scottish Gaelic, English), choose to print the ones best suited to your friends:
-Hope you enjoy this card, it’s the only gift you’re getting! Because you and I know, less is more.
-In the stillness of winter, may your questions be as illuminating as the answers you seek.
-This holiday, let’s celebrate bodies as they are: glorious and unapologetic.
-Holidays: a cocktail of emotions, bittersweet but memorable.
-Here's to finding small joys, even when the tinsel doesn't sparkle.
-Here's to a family as diverse in opinions as in holiday dishes.
-To a family stitched together with threads of love and choice.
-Merry Christmas!
-Season’s greetings!
-Thank you for your gift, it’s much appreciated.
(NB the first few messages are quirky enough I recommend using them if you can read the language!).
On the back of the cards I’ve added Charity donation QR codes as an updated twist on the charity Christmas card, so you or the receiver can easily donate. To cover a range of issues your friends might care about, I’ve included Amnesty International (human rights), Rainforest Alliance (environmental), Malala Fund (female education), ME Action (health advocacy).
