Today I decided to use another of the GORGEOUS new Pure Innocence sets being released this month, Warm Wishes. I LOVE her outfit so MUCH, and she reminds me so much of my nieces, I just love her. I stamped her on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was then cut out with my Oval Stax Die-namics, and layered with the Oval Decorative Doily Die-namics in Fossil. My other cardstock colors are Sweet Tooth, Wild Cherry, and Jellybean Green. I used those colors of cardstock, minus the Sweet Tooth, to cut out my flower with the Winter Rose Die-namics. It's SUCH a gorgeous flower. Under my main image, I used two different Sentimental Flourish Die-namics on top of a piece of Authentique Festive paper. At the bottom of my paper layer, I used the new Mini Double Dots Border Die-namics. I finished by using the Sentiment Strips Die-namics for my sentiment. To embellish my card, I used Jellybean Green grosgrain, hemp cord, Michael's brads, and a spiral clip.

For the inside, I used more of the same supplies.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

Today, I decided to use the SUPER cute new Thanks Snow Much set! I love the Snowman additions to the Pure Innocence line, and this one is no exception! He is adorable, and cute, and super easy to work with..what's not to love? I paper pieced his scarf with some AWESOME Carta Bella Merry& Bright paper, and then colored the rest of him with Copics. I used the star stamp from this set as well, and added some sparkle to the stars and the snow. My sentiment was cut out with the First Place Award Die-namics, using both Sweet Tooth and more of the Carta Bella paper. I added some Michael's brads, a spiral clip, Sour Apple Grosgrain, and some stars cut out from the Stacking Stars Die-namics. The cardstock colors I have used are Red Hot, Sour Apple, and Sno Cone. :)
