I seriously had such a hard time choosing which sets to use from this release. Ultimately, I chose the Dear Santa set with a cameo from the Best Gift Ever Shrew!
One of my favorite things that Anita does with her sets is include a pre-made scene and all the little cuties who make it up in case you'd like to make your own. This card uses the pre-made scene with some simple but adorable pine trees in the background. Of course they're dressed for the season too!
This card is a similar but different scene I created using the individual stamps and some birch trees. This cute little mouse got a boost from his buddy in order to get his letter off to Santa!
Both of these scenes were such fun to make. I think they're just the cutest little characters!
You can watch the entire card for the pine trees in the video below.
The Birch trees are in the following video. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteGreat video. Had me sending thoughts of dog tag, dog tag, tee hee. Cant wait to try those trees and see the burch trees. I like the sidewalk for them to mail from. I might start some scenes, but the coloring has me hesitant. Looking forward to those die examples.
