I had so much fun playing with this Release and have 5 projects to share with you today. So let's get started.
Merriest of Wishes to You! My first card showcases the absolutely adorable new Merriest Wishes set, beautifully illustrated by our new Pink & Main illustrator, Yan Au @yanxdiy. The set includes the sweetest set of critters preparing for the holiday season.
I stamped the images from the Merriest Wishes Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Merriest Wishes Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

For the background, I took another piece of Neenah cardstock, masked off the bottom half and lightly ink blended with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. Once the panel was dry, I used the second largest die from the Stitched Arches Dies to trim out the panel. Then I used the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle set 2 Dies to trim another panel of white cardstock. I
For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the inked arch panel.
I adhered a piece of craft foam to the backside of the arched panel before I adhered it to the top of the stitched rectangle panel. The panels were adhered to a piece of patterned paper from the new Kraft Christmas Patterned Papers. Finally, the panels were adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").
I adhered the colored images with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape and finished the card with a few absolutely beautiful Christmas Red Confetti and Christmas Green Confetti.
Christmas Wishes & Nutcracker Kisses! My second card is a clean and simple card showcasing the super fun new Nutcracker Kisses set. I thought it would be fun to keep the colors basic and bright but the possibilities are endless with this set.
I stamped the images from the Nutcracker Kisses Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Nutcracker Kisses Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink directly onto the inked arch panel.
I adhered the inked panel to a white scalloped panel trimmed with the largest die from the Scallop Rectangle Dies set. I attached a piece of craft foam to the backside before adhering the panels to a piece of red cardstock and a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
I adhered the colored images with foam tape and finished the card with a few absolutely beautiful Christmas Red Confetti.
Have YoursELF a Merry Little Christmas! My third card features the super sweet elves from the new Christmas Elves set. These adorable elves are hard at work and helping Santa prepare for the holidays.
I stamped the images from the Christmas Elves Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Christmas Elves Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

I adhered the colored images with foam tape and decorated the tree with a few absolutely beautiful Christmas Red Confetti as ornaments.
My final two projects were completely different, super fun and showcased the awesome new Truck Pop Up Card Dies and Deer and Elf Peeker Dies set. Aren't these just the cutest?!
The trucks can be decorated in a variety of ways and used all year long. The Deer and Elf Peeker Dies put a complete holiday twist to these trucks.
The Truck Pop Up Card Dies and Deer and Elf Peeker Dies were used to diecut all of the parts out of colored cardstock. It was hard to capture on the photos but I love that the dies not only diecut but some of them also some fun embossed details. For example, the back door has raised panels and the tires have treads on them.
I assembled and adhered all of the parts with liquid glue. A white gel pen was used to add highlights to the parts.
I used one of the super cute sayings from the License Sayings Stamp set to stamp onto the license plate with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I added an extra sentiment using the Christmas Sentiment Strip Dies.
I added some blush onto the deer and elves with a Copic marker (R20).
I created some simple gifts to place onto the truck by trimming a piece of patterned paper (1.75" x 2.5") from the Kraft Christmas Patterned Papers and adding a bow diecut from one of the dies in the Gift Card Holder Dies set.
These were so much fun to play with. The decoration possibilities are endless. And the best part is that they can fold flat and fit into an A7 sized envelope (perfect for a 5" x 7" card).
