Hi all! Welcome to my stop in the November Your Next Stamp New Release Hop! You should have come from Deborah’s blog, but if you just happened across this post, please go back to Brianna’s blog (links at bottom) because you won’t want to miss a stop in our hop!
We are so excited for this release! It’s full of super fun and cute Winter/Christmas stamps and dies!! My favorite set has got to be the Sweet Holiday Greetings stamp set with matching dies (I do love matching dies!), but I’m also completely smitten with the Gingerbread House Die Set – SO much fun!!
Anyway, enough chatter – let’s get on with the show!
For my first card, I used the gingerbread man from Sweet Holiday Greetings, and a drink and sentiment from Holiday Cheers:
The sketch is from the Sweet Sunday Sketch and the papers are super old ones from my stash. I colored both of them with Copics and cut them out with their matching dies.
Here’s my second card, also with white embossing (which seems pretty popular lately):
I used Little Darling Crystal and a sentiment from Santa Express Train Carts. In case you’re wondering about this white embossing technique, here’s a video I made about how I do it:
As always, we have a Hop prize: one grand prize winner will get a $20 YNS gift certificate!! To qualify for the grand prize, you must leave a comment on all the DT Blogs. Karen will post the winner on the YNS blog on Nov 12th.

So now you’re off to Angel’s blog, but don’t forget to leave a comment before you go! Happy hopping and good luck!
Both of your cards are adorable. I agree, white embossing is very popular and I think it looks awesome on your card. I still have to find the "courage" to try it. ;)
