Today I have three cards to share with you.  Each features one or more of some fabulous die sets, stamps and an embossing folder that are part of the DieCember® release!

For my first card I've used the SO adorable Snuggle Snowman die set!  I love snowmen, and these are some of the cutest, I think!

I die cut the Snuggle Snowman dies from white, red, and green cardstocks, three times.  I glued the three snowman layers together.  I just had to have three of these adorable snowmen!!

The background is blue cardstock embossed with the Forest Border embossing folder.  I added Night ink around the edges with an ink blending brush.  Then I added white pigment ink to the bottom of the panel.

Next I diluted a bit of Splatter White Opaque Watercolor with a few drops of water.  I used a paint brush to add splatters over the panel.  When it was dry I glued it to an A2 card base.

I used foam tape to adhere the three adorable Snuggle Snowman images to the card.

The sentiment is from the Jolly Christmas stamp set.  I stamped it with clear embossing ink, added white embossing powder, and set it with my heat tool.  I trimmed the sentiment into a strip and popped it up onto the card.

Next I created a greeting card and coordinating gift tag using the fun and easy-to-stitch Stitching Holly and Berries dies!

I used the new Basic Shapes Squares die set to die cut white and silver cardstock to use on the card and tag.

The tag's white square and an A2 sized piece of white cardstock are embossed with the Pepperberry Bundles embossing folder.

The feature element of this card and tag is the fun new Stitching Holly and Berries die set.  If you are new to stitching on cardstock, then this set is for you!  I stitched all six leaves with embroidery floss in just a few minutes.

The tag's sentiment is from the new Tag Greetings stamp set.  For the sentiment, I chose one from the Holy Night stamp set.

My final card features the beautiful Fawn Surprise embossing folder and the Little Winter Banners die set in a sweet, snowy and simple design.

I cut a 4" x 5-½" piece of white glitter cardstock to emboss with the Fawn Surprise embossing folder.  Tip:  Add one or two "shims" of printer paper to add a bit more pressure for the glitter paper.  I adhered that with glue to a piece of silver mirror cardstock and then those to an A2 card.

I die cut the sentiments from silver and white glitter cardstock.  After I glued the layers together, I popped each one up on the card with foam tape.

This was such an easy card to make!!

That's all from me and I hope you found some inspiration here.  Thank you so much for stopping by!   If you would like, please check out all of my supplies in the list below.
