Holiday Decor Inspired Cards

Hello! Jen Kotas here today with three cards featuring the Timeless Trees Collection by Simon Hurley. This collection includes two 3D embossing folders and five die sets for creating wonderful holiday and winter scene cards. The idea for these cards was inspired by different holiday decor styles. The first card has a rustic feel, the second is more modern and the third is definitely traditional. Inspiration can be found everywhere!
