Now we turn it over to Kendra:

I’m so excited to share these cute cards with you.  The first two use the adorable Good Glidings stamp and coordinating Good Glidings Die Set.
I used the cute giraffe on the first one.

I started by stamping the ‘Gliding By With Holiday Cheer’ sentiment from the Good Glidings stamp set on a slant in the middle of my card base.  I then used the Thick Rectangle Die Set to create my fun shaker window!!  Once finished I adhered it to my card base on a slant above the sentiment! I stamped the giraffe image with Black Olive Ink and colored in with my Copics.  I die cut the giraffe out and added to the right side of my frame!

For the next card I used the adorable deer from the Good Glidings stamp set. I created my card base and then added a piece of brown and green plaid pattern paper from the Mint Cocoa Kisses 6×6 Paper Pad!

I then cut a piece of white paper the size of my card base and cut on an angle on the right side, so once adhered to my card base you’d see the pattern paper.  Before adding to my card base, I stamped the ‘Gliding By With Holiday Cheer’ sentiment neat the bottom right.  I also used the Double Pierced Hills Die Set, to die cut about 1′ up from the bottom left corner, just a portion of the die, so that it looks like a skating mark!! I love the look!!  So fun!I stamped the deer image with Black Olive Ink and colored in with my Copics. Die cut the deer out with the coordinating die and adhered to my card with pop-dots.  I finished the card off by adding some Gumdrops to the upper right of my card.

For my last card I used the Home for the Holidays stamp and coordinating Home for the Holidays Die Set.

I created my card base from a piece of teal cardstock!  I then used the Stitched Scalloped Rectangles Die Set for my white scalloped cardstock layer, which I adhered directly to my card base.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Die Set to create a teal and white cardstock layers.  I stamped the ‘Season’s Greetings’ sentiment with Black Olive Ink on the white rectangle cardstock layer near the bottom right. I then adhered the two layers together.  Wrapped some Divine Twine near the upper right and adhered to my card base with pop-dots.  I added a button and twine bow as well.

I stamped the sweet birdhouse image with  Black Olive Ink and colored with my Copics.  I die cut the sweet image out and added some Glossy Accents to the snow on the birdhouse and then sprinkled some glitter on it!  I let it dry, shook off the excess glitter and adhered to my card with pop-dots!! Three super fun holidays card! 

Have a lovely day!
