I encourage you to check them out and add your own cards/projects as well!

MY CARDS:

I've got four cards to share with you today and they all have very simple designs. I tend to make clean and simple cards when I lose my mojo, which seems to happen every January. I blame it on winter. Lol!

For my first card, I used two new products from this fabulous release - the Wonderland Snowflakes embossing folder and the Heart Suite stamp set. The sentiments and fonts in this set are so pretty!


Up next is another card using the Wonderland Snowflakes embossing folder. This time I embossed it with glossy white card stock. I also used glossy red card stock for the Warm Thoughts die set. Wish you could see how shiny the whole card looks!



I used this sweet bear die from a previous release to help showcase the Falling Snow cover plate die. I thought they were perfect together. The sentiment on this one is from the Label Slides Love and Friendship stamp set.


For my last card, I used the Loving You Bouquet stamp set. It helped my winter blues to sit down and color some flowers! It's such a pretty set!


Okay, that's it for me. I hope I've given you some inspiration for using a few of the products from this awesome release! 

Enjoy the rest of the hop and thanks so much for stopping by!
Barb

Donna said...

Great cards! I do wish I could see the red & white glossy card in person- Bet it is stunning. The colored heart bouquet is just gorgeous & I love it!!!

ginger said...

Wow, four fantastic cards, I love the heart die cut grounded on the square and placed over top of the snowflake background, it's such a warm and pretty card, again with snowflakes as a background the warm thoughts die cut grabs the spotlight and would be great to send someone to let them know you're thinking about them and then there is that little Polar Bear sitting in the snow, that card is just CUTE !!! Your final card left the snow behind and focused on beautiful flowers, the yellow and lavender are so striking together. Thanks for sharing all 4 of your beautiful cards.

Fran Smith said...

Your coloring and the way you did the background really caught my eye when I saw the last card on IG! All wonderful cards, but the red and white one is maybe my favorite! The sentiment is definitely going on my wishlist!
