  • By crafting game badges
  • By voting in the Steam Awards (one for every day that you vote)

  • By trading with friends
  • By purchasing them in the Community Market

Crafting them can be done until February 2nd. More information here, on the bottom of the page.

Do I get anything for voting?
For each day that you vote, you will get a Steam Awards Trading Card. You can get up to four trading cards on “We Didn’t Think Of Everything” by voting for each of the four award categories.

What does that mean ? I'm stuck with three cards, not four. And what's this “We Didn’t Think Of Everything” thingy ?

one card for voting, two for browsing your recommendation list. that´s all for today.
The last day there are four votes, then you can get more daily cards (as I understand it)

Thanks for this topic, didn't know the crappy exploration queue still gave 2 more cards, thought Valve screwed us over and lowered 3 free cards per day to 1.

A level 5000 badge got revealed :O http://www.steamcardexchange.net/index.php?gamepage-appid-566020
(yes, you will need 5000x9 = 45000 cards to reach it (that's 45000x0.10 = 4500 dollar) -- good luck with that :P)

Don't forget + foil badges at level 10 :)

True, but at level 10 would have been more reachable (10*9=90 cards, avg. $0.26 per card, would be $23,4).
I say it in the past tense, since it now up to level 50 :P I think there might be more levels, but when you just like to level up, you would go with the regular cards, so they are much less populair (but rare so more expensive) ;)

I just craft a badge. Is that normal if it doesn't drop winter cards after that ?

No, however it sometimes happens that it doesn't show the card in the crafting confirmation screen, however it should appear in your inventory anyway a few moments later! :)
