By the 1860s developments in printing techniques allowed it to become a tradition so that by 1900 Christmas cards were popular all over Europe as well as in Canada and were mass produced. In the first half of the 20th century\, Canadian artists started their own tradition of making unique\, hand printed cards with linoleum\, woodblock or silk screen\, sometimes hand tinting each card individually. Carl Schaefer made many black and white card designs which are the simplest to do and are still elegant and festive. Here are some other examples.\n\nThis card of the family cutting a Christmas tree uses 5 colours and is called a Reduction Print\, which is a bit more complicated with a few more stages ( 1 per colour) and requires more preparation in the drawing stage. Making a reduction print is bit like solving a puzzle –  good for your brain\, fun and you’ll feel very pleased with yourself.\n \nThis card by  A. Y. Jackson\, another prolific card maker and sender like many of the Group of Seven\, printed the black and then hand painted the colour after the ink had dried. Easy\, quick and satisfying.
