Sentimental Decorative Tree Decorative Trees might be my favorite bundle from the 2024 Sept-Dec mini catalog. Most of the cards I have created from this set use the amazing dies, but not this time. I really wanted to see if I could make the tree look like one of the trees from the Sentimental Christmas DSP and if you look at the tree in the lower left of the card, that's the one I was trying to copy.

Otterly Adorable  Sneak Peek Here is a sneak peek at the Otterly Adorable suite of products. I love otters--I could watch them all day swimming around, and especially when they have a baby on their stomach like the one in this picture. If you've ever been to Monterey, CA and watched them in the bay, or at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, you know what I mean. If you are ever in Northern California, especially the Bay Area, do at least a day trip there and you won't be disappointed. Back to this Online Exclusive suite that go live to everyone 11/5/24--it has fabulous DSP and many of the dies cut out the otters on the papers. This one I used I actually fussy cut as it doesn't have a matching die, but it was really easy to do. If you get lost making this card, watch my Facebook Live below for some pointers. Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Balmy Blue cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 7 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4". Cut the second largest radi...
