We also have some terrific, optional add-on products this month - four clear stamp sets, many dies, two background stamps and a stencil.

First up is the Holiday Labels stamp set. Why shouldn't your envelopes be as pretty as what is inside them?Our next product is the Holiday Badges stamp set. Adorn your packages, cards, or other holiday projects with these festive badges. Check out Clare's tag where she used one of the badges from the set.

We have the perfect Hanukkah set called Happy Hanukkah with coordinating Happy Hanukkah Frame Cuts. Jess made a beautiful card using this stamp set.

Our next add-on is Winter Animals and Winter Animals Frame Cuts. Winter scenes will come together easily and beautifully with this silhouette style set. 

Our Paper Layering Santa Tag will make anyone smile if they find it on their Christmas gift. He is so jolly and fun.

Next up are the Tag Frames Infinity Dies that can be used with many of the products in this kit release or as a place to put your sentiment on a card.

The Festive Bauble Bold Prints stamp is exactly that - festive! Perfect for celebrations long after the holiday season has passed.

If you are looking for something to use during the holidays and beyond the Snowflake Pattern Bold Prints stamp is a great choice. Clare used this stamp to create a subtle but beautiful background on a tag and you will see Jayne use it at the end of this post.

Speaking of snowflakes..... how about a pretty Snowflake Tag Fancy Die!

And last but certainly not least, is the Festive Star Bauble Stencil.

We asked Jayne to share a project that she created using products from the kit and add-ons.

Jayne: For today's hop, I decided to create some holiday cards featuring one of the kit's larger images in each design. For my first card, I started by white embossing the kit's lovely snowflake stamp onto a cerulean card base. Then, I cut a circle, slightly larger than the snowflake, from a piece of masking paper. I temporarily positioned the mask over the snowflake and then stamped the card front with the new Snowflake Pattern Bold Prints background, using Pool ink.

To make the window panel, I masked a large circle on a piece of white cardstock, inked inside the mask with blue and purple water-based dye inks, and then cut around the inked area with a larger circle die. Using the kit's matching snowflake die, I cut a snowflake shaped window from the center of the inked panel. Before securing the window to the card with foam tape, I secured a circle of acetate onto the back. The acetate provides extra support for the decorative edges of the window. I embossed one of the kit's many sentiments onto a strip of azure cardstock and secured the strip across the snowflake center. To finish the card, I added a few Ombre Blue sequins.

For my second card, I used the kit's Christmas tree stamp and matching die. This time, I made a pool card base that I stamped with the new Festive Bauble Bold Prints background using Tide Pool ink. For variety, I inked the circle panel with blue and green inks, embossed the sentiment onto a pine cardstock strip, and then embellished the card with Ombre Green sequins. If you look closely, you can see that I made matching gift tags with the inked snowflake and Christmas tree die cut shapes.

Thank you Jayne! So beautiful!
