Aren't you excited?  Ok, I have to say I went a bit overboard with excitement, so I have 3 cards to share today. Here's the first card using one of my favourite stamp sets from this release - Winter Ruth.  I love that Ruth could be stamped with her hands in the pockets or holding an accessory (6 to choose from).  I love the heart and so I've used that on my card.

My Winter Ruth is coloured with Copic Markers (Tree - E23 & E27, YG97, YG95 & YG93  Ruth's coat, boots - R02, R01, R20 & R21 Ruth's Stockings, Scarf, Heart - R39, R35 & R32 Skin - E000, E11 & E31  Hair - YR24, YR23 & YR 21 Snow - BG000), and the background is sponged with Distress Ink Tumbled Glass. Papers from Webster's Pages Sweet Season.

Next, I have a CAS card using the set Vintage Christmas, with the verse from John 3:16 in the shape of a tree which I love.  I think this scripture sentiment can be used on a general card to encourage someone too.

A close up photo to show the score lines I did on this card.  I did this yesterday (see this post) and kinda like the effect so made a few cards in one sitting.

And, here's my last card:

I used the silhouette image from Vintage Christmas, and used my Glimmer Mists on it for some shimmer.  The papers are from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas.
Here are some close ups:

These sets are so versatile and easy to use to produce great cards.  Be sure to check out the rest of Design Team's (click on their names on my sidebar) samples and also the Inspired Stamps blog for today's Sneak Peek.

Isn't it a wonderful coincidence that Inspired Stamps and I have the same birthday month?  If you'd like to find out more about my Month of Giveaways, please check this blog post.
