This is my husband and I's first Christmas in our home. I've been very crafty lately by making most of our decorations. I'm trying to figure out a cute way to display our Christmas Cards and haven't found anything that I really liked. Any Ideas? Thanks!!
This really isnt "crafty" but Ive always used scotch tape to tape my cards around the doorway. By the time I receive them all, the whole doorway is filled with cards and it looks really neat when you come into the house.

You’ve probably already heard about this one, but it’s one I had grown up with and still do. You very simply take a string (although now I use pretty ribbons or velvet and can attach little silver or gold bells every once and awhile) and attach it on either side on a wall. Then you just hang the cards from that string, either by lying them on the string at the fold, or punching a hole at one corner of the card and stringing them with ribbon.

hang them by a ribbon by the hire place (if you have on)

I do it all the time
If you go to a Hallmark Gold Crown store, they have these really classy looking card display holders. They are really beautiful, and are located right next to the boxed Christmas cards. I am going to use this from now on, I just got one today.

I’ve seen people put a slanted string on the wall and hang them like that

They look really rad on a Christmas tree. Balance them or you could punch a hole in the corner and attach a string or a hook.

I made a hanger last year from strips of material and dowel rods. it looked something like this:

I cut long 2 strips of material, painted dowel rods. Start at the bottom and put holes on each piece of fabric and slip a dowel in. Do this until it is as long as u need it then tie the top and make a pretty bow. I made it wide enough for 2 or 3 cards. All u have to do is lay the card over a dowel when u get it!

You could get an old mailbox and set it up in your home either on a piece of wood or just sitting on a table, etc. Decorate it by painting or use wrapping paper attached with glue or contact paper or anything to compliment your decor. Then just fill up the mailbox with the cards. Congratulations on your first Christmas together as married folk!

If you don’t have a fireplace mantle you can swag from, swag them across the the top of a window,… could even allow the ends of the ribbon or cording or fake pine swags, etc., to trail down each side of the window, with the cards attached to those too.
You can use holes to attach the cards, or even clips of some kind (those small black ones shouldn’t show much in a fake pine swag, for example, or you could spray paint some wood clothespins gold or silver or red, etc., then use those to hold them on).
A wacky idea might be to build a "house of cards" with your christmas cards, using a glue gun or temporary adhesive of some kind. Might need to cut some of them to the same sizes, but still might be fun and would be unique. (You could also sit the house(s) on a bed of snow of some kind, like fake snow, salt, angel hair, or quilt batting, etc.)
