I'm not sure if you've been checking out the PS DT projects on the PSblog... but you should definitely start going there daily for inspiration! LOVE LOVE LOVE this DT!!! Click HERE for the PSblog. Here's what I created using the new stamps and dies, including the PSMelted Snowman die, Warm Wishes die, Snow Drifts die, and the Winter Sampler stamps.
My blog hop card- that gingerbread man going into the cup is soooooo cute!
I love this card- it was inspired by a Starbucks mug- the colors, the hills, the silver base and black sentiment... LOVE!

For today's sneak peek I've created a watercolor underwater scene using the NEWOcean Scene dies, as well as the NEWCourteous Cuties stamps and dies. I used a couple extra PSstamps and dies for this card, including: Summer Sampler, Enchanted Elves, and Banner dies. As soon as I saw the jelly fish carrying that shel [from the Courteous Cuties stamp set], I knew I wanted to make an underwater birthday scene!
Those bubbles along with the rocks, seaweed, and coral are all from the NEWOcean Scene die set! It's such a FUN set to use, esp with watercoloring!

In case you don't know- I challenged myself to make 15 projects for December's challenge---- and I did it!!!!!!!!!!! HOORAY! I made 15 cards even with a few stitches in my finger:)
This card was inspired by a design/graphic on Pinterest- I tried to get a link but it shows nothing:( This card was sooooo hard to make- but it looks awesome! I used the 2017 Pantone color of the year for 2017!!! LOVE it!
This design was inspired by a poster in a store on one of our trips this past month! Not my favorite because I totally messed it up... but I think it's very CAS and perfect for the holidays or New Year since it snows until March!
Those are marshmallows:) Trav thought they were ice cubes (what they were intended to be... LOL!)! I saw THIS inflatable on a road near Trav's work, and I knew I had to make a card!
CAS- two ribbons and a glittered snowflake. Easy!
That's it for me today! I hope you will join in the fun--- you could win a $50 gift certificate to the PS store! Be sure to stop by HERE to link up and play along:)

This card was inspired by a gift card with a dachshund dog with a scarf wrapped around his belly!
Toooo cute!
I share my baby powder technique with washi tape for the scarf in the video! This is one of my favorite techniques to use! ALSO--- I don't normally send out Christmas/Holiday cards... but this year I might send this card to a special friend:)
Trav really loves this card- esp the sparkly snow!
