Before we start… Wondering whether to use paint or ink for your little one’s fingerprint Christmas cards?  There are of course pros and cons to both and we have outlined these below.

Fill your card with these gorgeous reindeer faces and brighten up your family and friend’s postbox!  Thanks to Mum in the Madhouse for the inspiration.

Include the whole family on the card with these brilliant penguin fingerprints by Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tail.

We are completely besotted with these little robin fingerprint designs from Emma Owl.  They are so simple and SO effective.  Guaranteed to raise a smile without causing you stress to create.  

These cheerful snowmen cards from Rhythms of Play offer plenty of opportunity for artistic creativity.  Whether you use a thumb and fingerprint to create each snowman or prints from both a parent and child is up to you.  

Christmas Lights fingerprints look so effective.  Perfect for using up whatever odds and ends of paint or ink you have around the house.  And they are great for younger children too as the fingerprints can be joined together later so precision on print positioning is not important!

We love the little white paint accent on the lights of The Joy Of Sharing‘s card.

Christmas trees are the perfect design for a family of fingerprints!  They can of course be created in a whole of different ways.  What about using two tones of green paint to create a fingerprint tree and then adding pom-poms or jewel stickers for baubles?

But if you’d like a hand getting started, this printable template from Things to Share and Remember is a great option too.

Why create just one Christmas icon when you can create a whole sleigh-full?!  This would make the ideal festive fingerprint project for an older child.

This is such an elegant idea from Mum In The Madhouse.  We think this would be brilliant for a ‘First Christmas as a Family’ card, with parents’ larger fingerprints creating the green wreath and baby’s tiny finger adding the berry details.

Such a simple yet striking idea from Paige Taylor Evans!  Ideal for a quick and easy card design.  Sweet!

Crafty Morning‘s angels are just perfect for fingerprint Christmas cards, aren’t they?  We think you could try white paint on a dark blue card with some sparkly star details too.

These cheerful little elf characters are just full of festive spirit!  And there is so much scope to let your little one’s artistic creativity go wild with this design by Be A Fun Mum!
