Quick answer
Personalize a Sapling Press city limits Christmas card by choosing a meaningful city or state, writing the name exactly as you want it printed, and adding a warm note inside.
Why a city limits card works for Christmas
The design already says "Someone in [City or State] wishes you a Merry Christmas," so you only need to fill in the location. It’s a thoughtful way to connect your recipient to a place that matters—whether that’s their hometown, a favorite travel spot, or where you both grew up.
What to watch for
The card prints exactly what you write in the notes at checkout. A typo or abbreviation you didn’t intend will appear on the final card. Double‑check spelling and decide on the full name versus a short form before you submit.
Steps to personalize your city limits card
- Choose your city or state: Pick a location that means something to the recipient—where they live, where you met, or a place you both love. Write the name exactly as you want it printed (e.g., "Austin, Texas" or just "Brooklyn"). Common mistake: abbreviating ("NYC" instead of "New York City") or using a nickname. Use the full, official name for the cleanest look.
- Write the name in checkout notes: When you order the card, type the city or state name exactly in the notes field. Do not add extra punctuation or line breaks unless you want them on the card. Checkpoint: read your note out loud before submitting. A single typo will print as is.
- Add a personal message inside: The card comes with the inside message "It’s me." If you want to write something longer, use a fine‑tip pen on the white cotton paper. Keep it short—the card is 5.5 x 4.25 inches, so a few lines are plenty. Common mistake: writing a message that runs off the edge. Test the length on a scrap of paper first.
- Consider the envelope: The brown bag envelope is neutral and works for any holiday. If you want extra flair, add a small sticker or washi tape on the flap before sealing. Checkpoint: the envelope is unlined, so a dark pen or marker shows best on the brown paper.
