Embossed Christmas Tree Cards - Embellished with Beads and Brads
Christmas tree cards are great holiday cards to send to business partners or corporate clients. Add some glitters, a touch of gold or silver here and another touch of gold or silver there and they will look great for an important client.
I decided to try my hands at creating some of these holiday tree cards and so went searching in my collection of tree rubber stamps for one that resemble a Christmas tree. I found a PSX rubber stamp that has the perfect tree image for my holiday project.
Here’s the Christmas tree card design. See whether you might get some inspiration to create some yourself this Christmas.
Let me explain how I created this card.
