I treasure the holiday memories of my youth: gift wrap flying through the air as presents were tackled and quickly eviscerated, dogs gathering around to sniff recent acquisitions with tails a'thumping, then the whole family adjourning for a fireside chat with steaming mugs of cider as the snowflakes twinkled and the picturesque holiday scene came to a close.
Today's Etsy Finds collection is virtual snow-strewn jaunt through Etsy's Holidays and Paper Goods Categories. Get pumped for the coming months with Etsy sellers' wide variety of modern, humorous, traditional and sincere takes on what the holiday season means to them — and perhaps you as well. Peruse Etsy's Cards, Calendars and Wrapping Guide and Holiday Home Decor Guide for more inspired takes on the season.

I didn't really appreciate what "paper arts" meant until Etsy came around. Now that I'm trying things at home like making my own paper, I have a profound appreciation for the skill and patience they really take!
magickalrealism
I really do have a profound admiration for paper artists. I tried making my own paper recently - it's actually hard work! More power to the card makers, it's awesome stuff!
breadandroses2
It's all good & jolly, especially the 'Keep Calm' parody! I'm fond of 3-D and pop-up cards & have a soft spot in my heart for simple paper chains.

Love them all! And still laughing at "insult family leave in huff" Our family did this every year and they even said "so and so.....left in a huff!!!"
Keeping it REAL!

I'm not really sure how the Storque featuring works, but CraftCult says my holiday hedgehog card was featured, so that's great! Thanks!
