Here's my first card:
This uses just a few stamps from the new Trick or Treat set. I used markers to color the cat, then fussy-cut it out and added it to my scalloped panel, on which I had already stamped the cute stitched sentiment cloud. I paired this up with a panel of Doodlebug patterned paper.
My next card uses some small elements from the new Presents and Ornaments set, and so I made my card a bit smaller, 4 1/4" square.

other supplies: gold glitter paper as frame, Ranger super fine gold embossing powder, gold sequins, Simon's Schoolhouse Red cardstock
And one more, showing you a new Inside Holiday Greetings sentiment and the new Dots and Lines stencil.

I stamped the sentiment on a Spellbinder's Floral Oval diecut in Simon's Lipstick Red ink, and popped it over the stencilled panel, along with a lovely hand-made poinsettia that was a gift to me years ago.
