Oh, how I love the simple details of this quick DIY holiday card. The Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Seasons Dies (one of My Favorite Things) were instrumental in whipping up the trio of banners and defining the oval sentiment.

WHAT I LOVE! Aren’t those tiny Old Olive Ombre Matte Decorate Dots a darling way to “punctuate” the sentiment? I adore how the oval die (Greetings of the Seasons Dies) crops a small hole that’s SO perfect for adding a touch of baker’s twine!
