Helllooooo and howdy and Happy Friday! I have MORE Christmas cards to share with you today! I am almost done making all my Christmas cards now! Ha! There were so many beautiful new releases this year and I'm so honored to be part of the fun to show them to you here on my blog. Today is yet another awesome Holiday release - this time from Pretty Pink Posh!! The new release is already available in the PPP store and it's SO GOOD! Perfectly cheerful and happy and warm. Today is day three of a big blog hop celebrating the new October/Holiday release from our friends at Pretty Pink Posh. I hope my cards today get you in the mood to so some holiday crafting! I have two cards today, and then I'll share another card next week when we do the Instagram Hop.

My first card for today features the brand new Holiday Birds dies, the brand new Pierced Snowflakes Die and the new Sentiment Strips Christmas Stamp Set! I also used the gorgeous Decorative Birdhouses dies and some other favorite PPP items. All my exact supplies are listed at the bottom of my post!! My finished card is an A2 white card base. The blue layer mimics a pretty winter sky with snowflakes...then my focal images.
Here's a side view of my card to show you the layers and elements.... That pretty sentiment fits perfectly across the bottom of my card....
The new Holiday Birds are SOOO CUTE!!! There are three little birds (I made cardinals), a little hat, a scarf, and more! EEP. He's about to nest down for the winter in his cute house!!
Here's a close up of that gorgeous new background die with the snowflakes. I splattered on some white paint/snow....

I used plaid, black and green to make my birdhouse. I wanted it to be very Christmas-y!
For the opening of the birdhouse I used the little tree that comes in the new Stocking Shaker set. It was the perfect size! I added a little heart over the opening of their love nest. I added snowflakes too....

My second card today features the brand new Candy Cane Stencils Set, the new Merry Christmas Shadow dies, and the new Eyelet Rectangles Dies. I used a traditional color palette of red, white and silver, with just a little pop of green!! My finished card is an A2 white card base. Layered with red, kraft, vellum and white.
Here's a side view of my layers.... I used vellum with that beautiful new rectangle die and I love it!! The sentiment was die cut from silver glitter paper for some Christmas shimmer! The candy canes are from the Winter Mug Die Set. They are so fresh and pretty.
I added red enamel dots for the holly berries and two shades of green for the holly leaves.
In this photo, you can get a close up look of the new stencil set! LOOOOVE! (I always love a candy cane theme).... I used kraft cardstock and stenciled with white pigment ink (Using a small sponge dauber). I dried the pigment ink with my heat tool. Then I used bright red ink and a dauber to go over the white. The key here is to really make sure that white ink is dry first before doing the red ink. It came out so nice.

Both cards are so pretty with a more traditional feel of colors. Those birds are just adorable. I like how you showcased the cute candy cane background with a more simple overlay of candy canes and greenery. Very nice!
