Free Christmas Card Overlays, Vintage Logo Style


I had visions of glittery Christmas cards dancing in my head this season. But then our family got hit with a horrible cold, followed by a stomach bug.

Now, I see that gold and glittery is quite the trend this year. Sometimes that makes me sad. But mostly it makes me happy that I opted for simplicity. And I wanted to share some of the logos I made, so you could make some simple holiday cards too.


There are so many different ways you can use these--I saved them in PSD files, so you can change the opacity, do a color overlay, etc.

Here is the same overlay as above, with a lower opacity, for example. And you can see what it looks like at the top, instead of the bottom of the photo.
