Christmas is a time for tradition.\u00a0 Even people with the most progressive of personalities and forward thinking tastes tend to open up to tradition and reminiscence during the yuletide season.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s hanging a few heirloom ornaments on an otherwise modern themed Christmas tree, mixing in kitschy childhood decorations with impeccably stylish home d\u00e9cor, listening to old standard Christmas songs by artists that wouldn\u2019t otherwise grace one\u2019s iPod in a million years or even just carrying on traditional family celebrations passed down through the generations; it seems that there is always room, and maybe even some desire, to include a touch of classic Christmas.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we asked the design team here at 123Print<\/a> to pick out a few Christmas card designs that are undoubtedly modern in design but yet hint at classic style at the same time.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what they came up with and why.<\/p>\n

Classic Style: Traditional<\/strong><\/p>\n

Design Name: Colors of the Season<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simple and understated with colors that are patently Christmas there\u2019s no way you can\u2019t look at this design and think classic, traditional Christmas yet its design is thoroughly modern at the same time.<\/p>\n

Classic Style: Fun<\/strong><\/p>\n

Design Name: Christmas Prance<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

While this design uses an updated color scheme it utilizes retro and almost kitschy design elements that draw from classic mid-20th<\/sup> Century Christmas d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

Classic Style: Contemporary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Design Name: Holiday Dots<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes folks; contemporary having been a recognized style for about 50 years or so now is actually a classic style in and of itself.\u00a0 A fun and flirty design uses classic Christmas colors and shapes reminiscent of ornaments in a style that\u2019s almost 1960\u2019s mod.<\/p>\n

Classic Style: Religious<\/strong><\/p>\n

Design Name: Come Let Us Adore Him<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just because someone wants to keep the reason for the Christmas season in mind doesn\u2019t mean that they have to use Renaissance-era artwork.\u00a0 This completely modern design makes its message loud and clear through bold use of type.<\/p>\n

Classic Style: Whimiscal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Design Name: Jolly Elves<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vintage type and antique-style illustration used in unexpected ways makes this design modern yet decidedly classical in its whimsy all at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
