The Best Tree

 Got to get started on the 2023 Christmas cards!  So here's the first!

I used several dies to create this card -  the sled is from Two Feet Deep by PTI, the trees are from die I just purchased - Woodland Santa Colorize Die from Sizzix and the handcart is a die from Charlie and Paulchen - a company in Germany.
I simply cut the dies, stamping or layering them as needed and adhered them over a pretty patterned paper from the Make It Merry Pad from Honey Bee.  I added a Clippings Stickers/Christmas from Idea-ology for the sentiment and tapped a white POSCA pen over the scene to create snow splatter!

I'm linking my card to:
I was inspired by the bottom right image
