Christmas card set

I recently bought some of the new Taylored Expression winter/Xmas stamps (and one matching die), and decided I wanted to make a set of cards using the stamps & die, but keep them relatively quick and simple.

The die and one of the stamps is the Snow Globe set, which I thought was really lovely and quite versatile in terms of what you can use it to frame.  The stamp sets were the Ready Set Snow and Deck the Halls sets.  I used the Snow Globe set on every card, then chose images from the Ready Set Snow and Deck the Halls sets to go inside.  I coloured them all with Promarkers, then put all the cards together using papers from the Dovecraft Contemporary Christmas pack.  I kept embellishments to a minimum - I used a little ribbon on a few, and some Stickles, but other than that, nice clean, simple and quick cards.  I'm pretty happy with how most of them turned out - some I like far better than others, but isn't that always the way!

 There were 7 in the finished set.


 My favourites include the two at the back, and the card front and centre.


And I love the card on the right.  That fox is so cute!


I'm now looking forward to playing with the Snow Globe set in other ways - it would be perfect for shaker cards, princess cards....gonna have some fun!!
