Today I have two cards to share with you using new products and new ink.
Walking in a {Plaid} Winter Wonderland
This is my favorite card that I made with this release. I started by stamping this awesome new Plaid Background Stamp with Midnight ink (it looks gorgeous stamped in the new colors too!!). I trimmed the edges down so that the Midnight cardstock would show on each side.
This new Small Doily Die is so pretty! I die cut it out of Kraft cardstock. I then stamped some of the "greenery" from the new Winter Wonderland in Midnight ink and the new Eucalyptus ink color that you'll love for all things floral! The sentiment and bow are also from the Winter Wonderland set as well. I tied some black twine around the middle of where the doily would go and then popped up the doily with dimensional tape.
A Winter Wonderland Wish
I love this new Winter Wonderland set and all of the wonderful things you can do with it! There are also coordinating Winter Wonderland dies. For this card I stamped the birch trees from the set on white linen paper for some texture using Black Jack Ink stamped off once and then stamped again for an even lighter tree. I smooshed some ink onto an acrylic block and then used an aqua pen to pick up the color and draw the lines on the tree. I know it looks labor intensive but it went really fast! I stamped the deer in Icing on the Cake ink and the bunny is also stamped with that ink but stamped off once first. I masked off the tree so the bunny looks likes she's hiding behind it. The bird is stamped with the new Peppermint Scrub ink.
For the top of the card I stamped the snowflake cluster from the Winter Wonderland stamp set in VersaMark Ink and then embossed with the newly released, exclusive (and pretty cool!!) Wanderlust Embossing Powder. I die cut the gorgeous Best Die on paper that I had blended Juniper Mist, Daydream & It's a Boy inks. I then pressed the die cut into VersaMark Ink and embossed it with the same beautiful Wanderlust Embossing Powder. The "wishes" sentiment is stamped from the Simply the Best Stamp Set.
Spa Ink Color Collection
I wanted to stamp out all of the gorgeous new colors for you so that you can see them together. (This stamp is from the Medallion Mix-Up Stamps also being released today.) These are perfect rich colors, great for all of your Fall & Winter themed cards! I LOVE them so much! Pictured above are Royal Treatment, Juniper Mist, Daydream, Eucalyptus, Green Tea, Sauna, Mandarin Spice & Peppermint Scrub. Believe me they are totally worth the investment! You can purchase them HERE! 😀 And, if you don't have any of these gorgeous inks yet, why not treat yourself to the entire collection for Christmas??!! You can find the complete ink collection HERE! They are honestly my favorite inks ever!

Beautiful plaid background! I really like that card!
Love the soft look of your woodland card. Catherine's inks are amazing for generation stamping. I have just created my first cards using the Winterhaven collection and created a card with the poinsettia stamp by simply stamping the poinsettia 6 times withour reinking. I'm hoping to photograph my card tonight so that I can share it on my blog and at StampNation.
I cannot wait to CASE your lovely red plaid background. Both of your cards are stunning. Thanks for the inspiration.
You really, REALLY did a Super Outstanding Creative job!!

I love that little deer\1 Beautiful cards!!
That plaid background stamp is fast becoming my favorite and I haven't even got it yet! I also love the birch tree scene with the cute animals. Nice!
I love, love, love your Winter Wonderful card.
Great cards.
Jen, I love your plaid card with the Kraft doily!
Beautiful cards. My favorite is the card with the deer.
Both of your cards are wonderful, I love the deer card, but the plaid with the stamped small doily is really my favorite, too.
Love your cards
I like the doily die cut used with the greenery stamps. It's perfect against the bright plaid background. The birch trees in the 2nd card are very realistic. The scene is just right with the sweet animals.
I really like your card designs! The red and black background looks great and love the "best" card too.
Both cards are beautiful, but I really like the woodland background. I love sparkle so the embossing is a great look to me, but the hiding bunny - Love it!
Incredible cards! I'm loving everything about them!!
I agree - you red and black paid with that small doily die in crumb cake is gorgeous. On the second card - I think I'm in love with that little deer. Love the wood scene you created.
I really like both of your cards. Great ideas.
Beautiful!
Love the really cozy feel to your first card and the fresh and frosty feel to your second card. So lovely.
Really great cards! I did a double take when I saw your "flannel" card - the red and black together are so striking and so realistic! Very cozy!
Beautiful cards Jen! I love how much the Best die stands out with the ink blending and the embossing powder over the top!
Beautiful cards. The second card is awesome.
Such stunning cards! I missed out on the naturally inspired stamp of approval, so glad they made the products available now, they are so flexible and can be mixed and matched with other releases! The second card would have to be my favourite, the winter woodland set is absolutely stunning, could be used not just for winter but anytime of the year with different colour combinations! Love it, thanks for the inspiration!
The red card brings out the Scot in me but that 'best' one is THE best!
I love both your cards, but my favorite is the wooded area one. I think I'll be copying that one.
That red plaid card is a knock-out, and I love all the cards with that wonderful deer. Thank you for sharing these beautiful cards.
