Let me show you the cards I created with this set...

I wanted to focus on the image and kept my design pretty simple. Took some patterned papers and taking cues from the striped colorful paper, I colored my reindeer. assembled it for a simple look.

For this one I was inspired by a color palette I saw and also did some color blocking technique with papers to make my base. I then heat embossed the deer in gold and embellished it with die cut flower and leaf, oh and yes I also did a splatter of gold :)

For my third card I did  some water coloring. and made a focal image, embellished with some twine and wood veneer trees :)

Final design is also Clean and simple. I stamped the image and sentiment in black, used some post-it notes for masking and inked the triangle representing a tree :) to finish I adhered a striped patterned paper. I have so many ideas in my head with this set, can't wait to share them in future :)

Besides the new set I have used Trendy Spring Bloom dies and Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle dies 

Hope you enjoyed it, don't forget to come back tomorrow for yet another new set :)
