my first card uses the new super sweet and adorable Newton's Christmas Kittens stamp set!

so fun, right?! 

I used some black gesso and a dry brush on my background! once that was dry, I used some white embossing paste and the new Ornaments Stencil to add some amazing texture to the background!

I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!

I heat embossed the sentiment onto a banner of black cardstock!

my second card uses the Purr-fect Present mini stamp set!

I used the adorable Music Stencil and some grey tinted embossing paste to add some texture to the background!

I colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut it out!

I stamped the sentiment onto the cardstock that was die cut with the Speech Bubbles Die Set and popped up both images with foam tape! 

and a little red and white twine bow finishes off the card!

my final card uses the cute as can be Puppy Present stamp set!

I created a fun shaker with the Snow Globe Shaker Die Set! 

I used Distress Inks to ink blend the snow globe (Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers as well as Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio). 

I filled the shaker with two different sizes of star sequins, and then a bunch of Rock Candy Distress Glitter!

and the whole thing is on a white woodgrain background with a little tear in the top for a pop of black and white!
