Are you ready for All the Trimmings- the newest, awesome release from Catherine Pooler Designs featuring many holiday items?! This collection features stamps, coordinating dies, three new ink colors. It is a delightful mix for the holidays. Wow!
My first card features the gorgeous Snowglobe Dies, and I love how it turned out! I created a snowglobe wonder full of snowy hills and bucks. This truly is a scene I see many winter days here in Wisconsin. I started by die cutting elements of the snowglobe from Ultra Smooth White Cardstock and then assembled the globe with acetate. I freehanded some hills with Velum Cardstock and die cut with the Snowglobe Dies the bucks from Smoke Cardstock. I then assembled the globe, adding glitter and a few sequins to make some snow. To add authenticity to the snowglobe, I stamped the base with the new Woodgrain Background Stamp onto Sand Dunes Cardstock and shaded it with Copic Markers. To finish the card, I added the plaque, also from the and then a few flourishes Snowglobe Dies in the corner of the card with stamps from the Seasonal Sentiments and Borders Stamp Set and Sweet Sixteen Ink.
My next card features the show-stopping new ink colors and the Holly and Berries Cover Plate, along with a few other new items! Once again I started with a white card base from Ultra Smooth White Cardstock. I then used the same paper to ink up the new Flourishes Background Stamp in Mardi Gras Ink. Before die cutting the panel with the Holly and Berries Cover Plate, I sponged Mardi Gras Ink right over the flourishes.

I then die cut a few of the Nested Labels Dies and colored one with Suede Shoes, and stamped the word Noel from the Seasonal Sentiments and Borders Stamp Set. To finish the card, I stamped and colored with Mardi Gras Ink and Samba Ink with a Dove Blender some poinsettias that were stamped with the Holiday Charms Stamps and die cut with the the Holiday Charms Die Set.
