MTTCC #31 Technique to Use 3 or more Patterned Papers on Christmas card

 No April Fool's for me! I have snow at my house! Incredible! Daffodils and crocus have already bloomed. Tulips are coming up. So are the summer tiger lilies. Oh my!

Might as well get everyone interested in making Christmas cards!

MTTCC's #31 Theme=

April 1-April 14, 2022

 is not a topic but a technique or format requirement to use 3 or more patterned papers on a Christmas card. This challenge begins April 1, 2022. You, the participant, can pick the Christmas topic (reindeer, Santa, elves, gifts, stockings, wreath, etc.)! What will you choose?

The MTTCC design team has been creatively brilliant and resourceful crafting their inspiration projects.
