 The sweet Snowman with Birds image is peeking through the window shaker.
Serendipity carries several Pretty Pink Posh dies. For this tag I have used Stitched Duo 3.  
I have masked off the word outside and stamped only, "Baby it's COLD".


For this tag Stitched Duo 1 has been used. The Happy die was cut and inlayed. Champagne ink was used for stamping the Snowflake Set and New Year.
The New Year stamp is only $1. Check out all the cling that SS has for $1+

IMPRESSION OBSESSION- SEASONS GREETINGS!

Join the IO Team and play along in the Season Greetings Challenge for a chance to win a $25 Impression Obsession gift certificate. Just use IO stamps or dies and link up! You don't have to have a blog to play! 
For more challenge info you can go here to the IO Blog.

Seasons Greetings from the DT


I was so excited when I saw the Small Cabin die. I knew that it would be fun to use in a pop-up holiday box!
Have you heard about the precut boxes from the Paper Cut? They take all the guess work out of making these boxes...no more measuring or scoring!


IO came out with four different landscapes dies. I've used the, Hill Layers, Mountain Layers and Tree Layers. 

The Small Deer were edged with Creamy Brown Cat's eye. 
One of my favorite winter trims is the Pine Sprig Cluster and the Fir Sprig Cluster. These dies are great for adding that little extra something onto a project!
The gingham was made using the Gingham Texture stamp. Seasons Greetings is from the Holiday Bottom Word Edgers.

Birds eye view!

Here is a quick card using the, "Most Wonder Time" stamp.
It's been framed with the All-in-One Oval Frames.
The embellishments are from the Pine Sprig Cluster and Holly Flourish.

 Thanks for looking and hope to see your design in the Season's Greeting challenge!
