In The Pines Christmas Card

I can’t believe that October is over halfway over and Christmas is just a little over two months away! Time to start making Christmas cards! This card came together quickly using the In The Pines Bundle. The stamp set coordinates perfectly with the dies. I will be making many more cards with this bundle and I love how tree’s are really something that you can use on birthday, thinking of you, and encouragement cards so you get a lot of mileage out of this set. All the dimensions, instructions and products used to make this card are below.
