Merry Christmas Tree Card

Posted on by Hijiri

It’s getting more and more holiday-like each day in the city, on the street, and on the Internet… I can’t wait to pull out my Christmas trees and start decorating them with some new ornaments of the year… (ohh, what can they be?! That makes me excited, too!)

and speaking of Christmas tree… this Merry Christmas Tree // Blank Holiday Greeting Card by Cool Jane caught my eye. Isn’t it lovely? Simple and meaningful, I thought it was cute.

There are mini Christmas tree gift tags, too! :)

New holiday greeting card is available now at my etsy shop — Decorate your own Christmas tree card! It’s the personal touch that counts, don’t you think? You can decorate your own tree with colored pencils, markers, stickers, pretty tapes, ribbons… or write your holiday wishes on the tree etc. you can be as creative as you’d like and send your special love this holiday season :)

What you’ll get is a blank letterpressed Christmas tree.

and you can put your name after you decorate it as it is your masterpiece.

The card is 5″ x 7″ and it fits in 5″ x 7″ US standard frame so you can decorate it on your wall, too!

If you have kids, they can decorate one, sign and send it to your family — that would be the cutest Christmas card ever :)

Christmas tree makes me so happy and this year, I have 2 trees! Double happiness :) Wanted to share some pictures and the happiness here!

Our family white tree — we bought it last year and we placed in different area this year.

((We still need a tree top…))

Each ornament has its story and memory…

I’d been looking for dachshund ornaments forever and I finally found these handmade dachshund toys from Sweet Little Birdie and turned it into an ornament! The size is great and Maia wears red collar so it is perfect!!

and, my mother in low got me a pink Christmas tree (!) last Christmas so I finally got to decorate it in my office area and I LOVE it! I wanted to make it really girly since it is mine :)

I used some of my flower hair pieces and brooches as a tree top and ornaments and I quite like the outcome.
