Today, I'm showcasing the beautiful Season of Elegance Suite Collection in the September-December 2024 (holiday mini). I made this card a long time ago, and I just haven't had a chance to share it with you. I absolutely LOVE THIS SUITE, and I think you will, too!

This suite has two bundles. The trees & the dies that cut them out come from the Peaceful Evergreens Bundle. There are four evergreen tree stamps in the bundle. I used the three larger ones on the front of the card. You can see the tree row stamp on the inside of the card below.
The "MERRY" was stamped, heat embossed in gold, and die-cut with a banner die. The stamp and die are part of the other bundle in the suite. It's the Peaceful Season Bundle. This bundle has some wonderful sentiments & label/banner dies in it. The "Christmas" die-cut is also a part of the bundle, and it was die-cut out of a gold sheet from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.
The Designer Series Paper (DSP) in this suite is the Season of Elegance Specialty DSP. This DSP is so pretty! I love the textured patterns in it, and each double-sided design has one side that includes gold foil! This 12" x 12" DSP pack includes six, double-sided designs, and the pack includes two of each design. I only used a little bit of one of the Cherry Cobbler designs, and you can see the two strips on the top & bottom of the card.
The beautiful embellishments in the suite are the Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed (AB) Dots. They go so well with the other gold elements on the card.
The Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon in this suite is also gorgeous, but I didn't use it on this card. I wanted to, but I couldn't find a place for it. I wish I could have, because I LOVE the rich Cherry Cobbler color with the gold trim. I have used this ribbon on another card before, and you can see it by CLICKING HERE.
It's a little hard to tell, but I embossed the trees with the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is also a part of the suite. The texture on the trees is really wonderful. This picture definitely doesn't do it justice. The trees don't line-up perfectly in the embossing folder, but it still works perfectly. You can learn how I did it in the video above.
Well, I've told you all about the products in the Season of Elegance Suite, but there's one more to talk about. I bet you were wondering where the snow behind the trees came from. I used the large Falling Snow background stamp from the same holiday mini to stamp the snow.
Here's the last tree stamp from the Peaceful Evergreens set I told you about above. The stamp has a line of five trees, and I stamped it across the bottom of my inside layer a few times to get completely across. Check out that texture! The sentiment comes from the Peaceful Season set.
