Want to make subtly S&H themed holiday cards? Make Venice Place Tree Cards! The tree pattern here is copied from the front door of Venice Place. To use it as a card decoration (as in the example), you can print out the pattern (regular white printer paper will do fine) and cut out the parts outside the frames and between the branches/roots with a craft knife. For those not interested in wielding sharp instruments, there’s a filled-in version that can be simply printed out or used in any online card maker. Feel free to modify the pattern in any way you want – hmm, why not reproduce that decorative panel for your own front door? Big or small, I’d love to see what you make out of it – do drop me a photo at mortmere at gmail dot com.

Oh my gosh! This is so cool. I’m definitely going to try this. I’d like to see if this would work for Christmas tree decorations too
This is so awesome. I’m going to have try it. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi, what an original idea! I’m looking forward to cutting it out on the plot cutter. Thanks very much. Merry Christmas ?
That is such a good idea! Thank you!
Mortmere, you are so clever. Love it!
I always admired the design on the real door, Mortmere, and here you’ve given it an awesome application. Well done and thanks!!!
Wow, how lovely! Such a neat idea! *_*
What a lovely gift! And a great idea. Thank you so much.
Love & Peace, MVernet
Wonderful!!
You are sooooo talented!
I am thinking for next year’s cards!
Lovely. Love that door. Thank you.
That’s really lovely!
What a clever idea!
I love this pattern – it’s given me a great idea for using this pattern on the lower front doors of a book cabinet in our art room. The cabinet was needing a lift and I’ve been scouting around for ideas – I think this may be just the ticket! Thank you very much!
Very clever idea!
Nice! I love both versions.
What a great idea! I’m definitely going to try that (may not have time this year, but I’ll see).
Oh, this is such a fun idea! Thank you for bringing us this special design, and for the cool craft ideas for using it, too! –Garrideb/Monica M
That looks so cool! What a wonderful idea.
Such a lovely idea!! <3
What a wonderful idea so clever xx
This is a beautiful and brilliant idea, I love it!
Lovely work!
That´s a nice idea and so beautiful! Thanks, Mortmere!
Beautiful, Mortmere! I wish I could batik, it’d make an awesome shirt or pillow cover.
Thank you for commenting, everyone! It’s so great to read what ideas this pattern has given you – it gives me more ideas to use the pattern myself (duh, why haven’t I thought of making a shirt print before? using the pattern as a stencil would be easy-peasy). I hope the pattern works well for whatever each of you are planning!
So neat, Mortimer. What a great idea! I’m thinking maybe an ornament or a pillow. Thanks so much for thinking of this and creating it!
Thank you! It’s a favorite detail of mine (in a house made of favorite details, lol).
Wonderful idea, and I think I may actually be able to do this!
Thanks! Go for it!
Mortmere, your are is MAGICAL! What a wonderful thing for you to do for all of us who are fascinated by that tree carving on Hutch’s door. I will have a blast cutting this out and putting the result on MY door!
Happy Holidays,
Ursula
Thank you, Ursula! Happy Holidays to you, too!
I just read that this would make a great t-shirt and I couldn’t agree more! Of course, it would look great whatever is was made into! Great idea, Mortmere!!
Thank you, Lisa! <3
