Here in Wisconsin, we have all been praying for winter to stop and for spring to get here already! Finally, the snow is nearly all gone, the weather is getting warmer, birds are starting to come back again, and now I go and post a Christmas card!!!! What?! Okay, I know this is crazy to post a Christmas card this time of year, but I just had to show you how pretty one of the prints from the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper is.
I also didn’t want you to miss it or the stunning pine cone and pine boughs from the Painted seasons Bundle (which is only available through the end of March). Never did I dream that I’d be making Christmas cards in March! With gorgeous products like this, why not? It’s never too soon to start.

- Poppy Parade: 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ — score at 4 1/4″, 2-1/4” x 4” – score at 1/2”

- Whisper White: 4” x 5 1/4″, 2″ x 3-1/4″, 2” x 4″
- Crumb Cake: 2″ x 2″
- Painted Seasons DSP: 2 7/8” x 5 1/8”

- Attach Painted Seasons Designer Paper to Early Espresso layer.
- Fold smaller Poppy Parade on score line. Attach 1/2″ flap to back of 4” x 5 1/4″ Whisper White (the larger end will fold over the front of the card).

- Stamp greeting with Early Espresso ink and Poppy Parade ink on the 2″ x 3-1/4″ Whisper White and attach to the front flap of card

- Cut out pine cone and pine boughs using the Four Seasons Framelits.
- Attach Pine Boughs by the greeting with Snail Adhesive
- Attach pine cone over the pine boughs with Dimensionals.
Here’s another card using the same colors and products and layout. My sister Peggy gave me this card, and since I loved everything about it, I thought I’d just switch out the stamps and recreate it. So, what do you think?
Don’t forget Sale-a-bration ends on March 31st!
