Start with a Garden Green cs card base. Cut a In Good Taste DSP panel and glue it to the card base.
Die cut three Garden Green cs boughs (1 of each size) with the Beautiful Boughs Dies. Die cut three large Early Espresso cs pine cones with the Beautiful Boughs Dies (keeping some of the pieces in the pine cone). Arrange and glue the Garden Green cs boughs onto the card front and then use glue to add in the pine cones (make sure you add glue across the loose pine cone pieces to keep them in the pine cone).
Die cut a Vellum cs sentiment oval layer with Layering Ovals Dies. Die cut a Very Vanilla cs sentiment panel with the Beautiful Boughs Dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Early Espresso ink on the Very Vanilla cs die cut panel. Glue the Very Vanilla cs sentiment panel to the Vellum cs oval and then use Stampin' Dimensionals to add them to the card front overlapping the boughs and pinecones. Double tie a bow with Linen thread and use glue dots to add it to the right side of the sentiment panels.
Don't forget to add a Very Vanilla cs inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso ink and add a strip of DSP to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through. I also stamped the small pine cone on the back of the card above the DSP strip.
