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!

MY CARDS:

Before I share what I've made, just know that I must be in some sort of green and blue stage right now, as you'll notice soon. Lol!

First up is the fabulous and beautiful, Dazzle Snowflakes embossing folder and cutting die. I had so much fun playing with it, I made two cards. This one also uses the Sending Warm Hugs die set.

And for this one, I used the EZ Strips Christmas stamp set and the coordinating EZ Strips Slanted Rectangle die.

For the next card I used the really fun die set called Forest Background. And that's another sentiment from the EZ Strips Christmas stamp set with EZ Strips Slanted Rectangle die.

Just one more. It's a stitching die set called Stitching Mitten and it's so cute! I used an older stamp set for the sentiment. I thought it was perfect with the mitten.

Okay, that's it for me. I hope I've given you a few ideas for using some of the products from this awesome release! Enjoy the rest of the hop and thanks so much for stopping by!
