There are many wonderful new holiday cling sets. I've used the ornament image from Christmas Words here. Christmas Wishes was stamped twice. I moved my paper slightly to shadow the first stamping of the words.
I fell in love with the "chin up" snowmen designed by Lindsay Ostrom. I have used the Merry Kiss-mas image for this card. You can see all of her designs here, so fun, playful and fabulous!
The tone on toned design red paper was created by using the Lattice background stamp. These Cover a Card stamps are wonderful and so easy for making the perfect paper for your project.
Another face was stamped and fussy cut. I have used foam tape to pop it up. A little Wink and some Viva Glitter Liner to bring in the holiday sparkle.
Enjoy! See you tomorrow
