I just ADORE the new Santa Greetings Colorize Thinlits set because, not only do you get to build this super cute Santa Claus, the die set also comes with a full alphabet set so you can spell out whatever you want on his string of letters! This makes this die set incredibly versatile! I decided to go ahead and use the colors from the Peppermint Smooth Cardstock pack as inspiration for this card, and I am digging how well this Santa goes with a pastel color palette!

This new Reindeer Sleigh Thinlits Die Set is just the most perfect card to create little night-time scenes for your Christmas cards! There aren’t too many die pieces needed to put this all together, which means this die set is perfect for quicker holiday crafting! I decided to use the Christmas Smooth Cardstock as color inspiration for this card, and went with standard holiday colors to make Santa and his sleigh really pop!

Holiday Knit Texture Fades Embossing Folder
Peppermint Smooth Cardstock

For my final holiday project, I am creating a joyful card, literally, using the new Big Tidings Thinlit Die Set! This die set comes with large dies of the words “Joy” and “Noel” and really allows them to take the center stage of your projects! I complimented my die cut sentiment with a textured background using the new Holiday Knit Texture Fades Embossing Folder, and it adds such a festive element to my project!
