It’s my first time to play with the Christmas Pinecone Dies, and you are going to love them! Look at this fabulous die that fills the card front! It’s #156309, part of the Painted Christmas Suite, pp. 16-19 in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog, available August 3. That’s the day after tomorrow; not long to wait!
I used this large die to cut Tidings Of Christmas Designer Paper, which was included in the paper sale for the month of July. The last day is tomorrow, August 2, so order now before it goes back to regular price. The Evening Evergreen print (top middle, in the picture in my Product List) is the pattern I chose for today’s card.

Christmas Pinecones
After using the large die, I used the pinecone dies to cut from Be Dazzling Specialty Paper. This fabulous paper is a FREE item, with a qualifying order, during Sale-A-Bration that begins August 3. It’s #156629, and I suggest ordering it right away, because I could see it going on backorder.
I glued the Be Dazzling pinecones to the back of the large die-cut, matching the location, and then glued the large die-cut to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 /12 “, folded at 4 1/4”.
Next I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and used a Painted Labels Die for cutting. This label die was just the right size for, “May your season sparkle,” from the Snowflake Wishes Stamp Set. Yay!
Lastly, I decorated the label with small, Seasonal Swirls Dies, another new die set, #156564. I used Tidings Of Christmas Designer Paper for the leaves, and Be Dazzling Paper for the “berry.”
I attached the label with Dimensionals, and my Christmas Pinecones card was complete.
