I opened up my Watercolor Winter card kit from the Holiday catalog this week and made a bunch of cards!

Watercolor Winter Simply Created Kit #135869  20 cards/envelopes for $24.95

The Noel die comes from the Wonderful Wreath framelits. The snowflake is from the snowflake card die cuts.

Here is a video from Stampin’ Up with the original Kit instructions:
