This is such an amazing release. I had so much fun playing with this Release and have created several cards to share with you today. So let's get started. 

For my first card, I have a fun Christmas card to share with you showcasing the new Christmas Cats set The set is beautifully illustrated by Jenny @jenoblade_ and features the cutest collection of holiday cats! 

I stamped the images from the Christmas Cats Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored it with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen. I fussy cut the images out.

COPIC COLORS:

Orange Cats: YR30 Y21 YR21/24, R20

Gray Cats: C00/0/1/3, R20, R22

Tree: YG03/25/17, E33/35

Hat/Scarf: R24/29, C1

Gift: YG03, R24/29

Yellow: Y06/08

Red: R24/29

Green: YG03         

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Wishing you a Meowy Christmas" sentiment from the set directly onto the inked panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

I trimmed the panel down to 4" x 5.25" and adhered it to piece of red cardstock before adhering it to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). I finished the card with a few Pink and Main Christmas Red Confetti and Pink and Main Christmas Green Confetti sequins.

For my second card, I have a clean and simple Christmas card featuring the absolutely beautiful Sleigh Bell Die. 

I used the Sleigh Bell Die and the Pretty Pink Posh Christmas Bell Shaker Dies to diecut all of the elements out of silver, gray, red and green cardstock. I assembled as seen in the photo. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Jingle all the way" sentiments from the CZ Clean Line Christmas Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink directly onto a piece of white cardstock. I added a piece of craft foam behind the panel before I adhered it to a piece of red cardstock.

I adhered the bell to the panel and finished the card with a few Pink and Main Christmas Red Confetti and Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix sequins. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

For my third card, I have another clean and simple Christmas card. This one features the new Charming Berry Branch Die.

I started by stamping the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from the CZ Clean Line Christmas Stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock.

I used the Charming Berry Branch Die to diecut four branches out of green cardstock. I assembled the branch in a circle pattern onto the white square panel as seen in the photo. I adhered some Pink and Main Christmas Red Confetti to create some shiny berries.

I adhered the panel to a piece of red cardstock before adhering it to a white square cardbase (5.5" x 5.5").

Merry Christmas! For my fourth card features the gorgeous Festive Wreath Embossing Folder. 

I ran the Festive Wreath Embossing Folder and a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock through my diecutting machine. This resulted in the most beautiful deep impression of this gorgeous holiday wreath.

I colored the leaves and berries with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:

Green: YG11/06/09 G19, YG03/06, G40/43/46, YG03/17, YG17

Red: R24/29/39

For the sentiment, I used the Waffle Flower Merry Christmas Print Die to diecut the sentiment once out of gold and three times out of white cardstock. I stacked and adhered the diecuts for a bit of bulk. 

I adhered the colored panel to a piece of gold cardstock. I adhered the Merry Christmas to the center of the wreath and added a few Pink and Main Gypsy Confetti sequins. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

Thanks So Much! For my last card, I made a simple Thank You card featuring the new Printmaking Leaves Stamp set. This set is so versatile and can be used any time of the year. 

I used the Printmaking Leaves Stamp set, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks to stamp the first three layers of stamps onto a piece of white cardstock. Next, I stamped the final layer of leaves and the "Thanks So Much" sentiment from the set with Versamark Watermark ink and heat embossed with Detail Princess Gold Embossing Powder.

I trimmed the panel with the smaller die from the Alex Syberia Designs Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set. A piece of craft foam was adhered to the backside of the white panel before it was adhered to a piece of pink cardstock and a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
