Every year we all send and receive holiday greeting cards.  There are few things more special than receiving a card made by hand specifically for you.  Each handmade card created can be tailored for the recipient and express the maker’s personality and style.  I have created several cards using traditional and nontraditional themes in hopes to give you all a little inspiration.  I used an array of trims including; leather cording, beaded trim, nailheads, rhinestones, and leather tape.  I love the way the trims used create a unique texture for an unexpected holiday surprise.
