To make today's card I went through the dies from the 2024 Yuletide Collection and pulled out BRILLIANT BERRIES 94830, PINECONE DUO 94802, PINE BRANCHES 94817, and FESTIVE HOLLY 94801 as well as the YULETIDE PLAIDS PP1031 papers. From the 2024 Winter Days Collection I chose WREATH SPRIGS 94814 and MERRY CHRISTMAS SWIRL 94803. I didn't have a plan. I just wanted to see how I might use all or most of these dies together to create a card. And this is it! (In the end I didn't use the Pinecone Duo.) 
I used scraps of papers to die cut the images–two greens, brown, beige, red, and white watercolor paper. 
- I added the berries to the branches using Glue Dots and used a Glue Pen to adhere the two parts of the Merry Christmas Swirl together and the Pinecone Duo.
- I chose a horizontal side fold white note card and added a piece of Yuletide Plaid 5 1/4 X 4 to the front.
- Then I auditioned the various die cuts around the Merry Christmas Swirl.
- I used Glue Dots to attach the white berries to the upper right of the sentiment and the smaller cluster of greenery and red berries to the lower left.
- I placed the other greenery and red berries tucked behind the sentiment and glued to the card front.
- I used dimensional foam squares to add Merry Christmas with the greenery and berries to the note card.
What I learned is that sometimes you don't need a plan. Just experiment, see how things look together, and then add adhesives!
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here in Maine–two snowstorms already with a light one forecast for overnight; two holiday concerts this past week; and the annual Holiday Stroll in my little village where my house was one of the vendor locations over the weekend. Wherever you are and however you celebrate this month I hope that you are enjoying this season.
Happy Crafting!
