If you like pine trees and pine cones on holiday cards, this set is for you! The Branching Out die set is a favorite from the 2025 September-December Holiday Catalog, available NOW. I cut the branches from Splendid Autumn Designer Paper, and the pine cones from Pecan Pie Cardstock.
Pine branches and pine cones
The branches and pine cones were then glued to Basic Beige Cardstock, cut with the second largest Branching Out Die. This layer was glued to Painterly Pears Designer Paper, cut with the largest Branching Out Die. Then, both layers were glued to a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Prior to gluing, I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow Ink. “May the spirit of the season bring you hope, happiness, & love,” is from the Holly Jolly Stamp Set, an Online Exclusive. For a little sparkle I added three, Low Profile Sparkle Dots.

You can tell a quilter and a stamper mix…..I looked at your die cuts of the pine needles and instantly thought ‘Oh look! She used batiks!” Beautiful card!
