A professional graphic designer who uses her background in art history and restoration to create everyday objects you can enjoy in your home or as wearable art. It's a joy to bring the best art and design of ages past into everyday life, plus invitations and DIY party projects. If you don't already share my love for artists and illustrators such as Alphonse Mucha, Edmund Dulac, Beatrix Potter, Carl Larsson and John Tenniel, perhaps you'll discover a new enthusiasm.

Carl Larsson Christmas Tree Custom Christmas Card


Carl Larsson Christmas Tree Card Template

Carl Larsson's Juletræ (Christmas Tree)

Looking at Larsson's paintings always leaves me feeling refreshed, and this one is no exception. I love the graceful lines, the feeling of calm anticipation and the sense of a happy family this painting evokes.

Fully customizable. Change the text of the message if you wish, then personalize by substituting your name(s) for the example name(s). You may change the type face, font color, font size, etc., if desired, using the "customize it" feature.

Description: A pretty little blond girl in traditional folk costume stands on a chair to add a candle to the Christmas tree. A Scandinavian folk art bird ornament inside above the message gives this card a finished feel and adds a bright bit of playfulness.

Matching note cards, address labels, stickers and more are available in my gallery's Holiday and Winter Collection.

About the artist: Larsson, Carl (b Stockholm, 28 May 1853; d Falun, 22 Jan. 1919) was a Swedish painter, illustrator, printmaker, and writer. His work included numerous portraits and book illustrations, as well as several large murals (the best known are those on Sweden's artistic history in the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 1896), but he is now remembered mainly his watercolors of the idyllic life he enjoyed in his now-famous house in the village of Sundborn with his wife Karin and their eight children.
