    Fantastic dies and cards and ornaments! I am most inspired by everything. OK so that doesn’t narrow it down- I would like to get the ornament dies and make shaker tags for gift cards and cards this year. And since I don’t have these I am most inspired to get them. I am really inspired by everything LOL!

    Festive and fun! Which one?? That’s like asking which child you love more… great designs from all. I am in love with the forest for the trees! So each time I saw that I stared a little longer. I love how you show the dies derail cut out on their own first. So I think your intro was my fav. Tee hee

    I LOVE both of her cards but especially the creative way she turned it into a shaker with the Santa Baby sprinkles in the center.

    WOW WOW WOW!! I’m loving everything!! So, it was kind of unfair for you to ask who inspired us the most because they all did!!! 🤣🤣 I got it narrowed down to 4!! LOL!! It took me awhile to go back and forth between them but I finally decided on Jo Thompson’s card. It’s because I LOVE seeing non-traditional colours for Christmas cards and I love scene cards so the card was a winner for me!! I really have to push myself to actually create a non-traditional coloured anything. And why is that anyway? I have enough of them to make and never duplicate my cards. It’s like this little fight I have with myself. 🤦🏼‍♀️ LOL!! I also love that it’s a shaker and I’m loving all your shaker contents. Soooo fabulous!! Oooo and those new pads? Brilliant, fun and colourful! 💕💕💕

    All the cards are so incredible. I have come to be a fan of the bow die and cards. I love Kathy S’s package with the clever bow placement and then the beautiful paper, glittery sentiment, and little ornament on the right. Amazing! And Caren Bartholomew’s Hohoho card is so fun- to see and make! I really love those ornament shaker dies.
