Let's take a look at some of these goodies in action! For all of my cards today I used Catherine Pooler Design's ink.

First I want to start with my absolute favorite stamp set in this collection, Christmas Cookies. This is a 4 x 6" stamp set with Christmas Cookies in all the familiar shapes that we grew up with. Who remembers decorating that little angel, the Christmas tree and that sleigh? So cute!!

Catherine will also be offering Sugar Cookies add-on dies for this set in her shop so if you're if you're like me and just have to have those coordinating dies they will be available on ordering day. Here is a close up you can see that I used the add-on dies to cut the shapes out of kraft cardstock. But I wanted to layer the stamped shapes so I trimmed those out by hand, making them just a little smaller than the diecut pieces.

I kept my next card clean and simple using a dove image from the Tiny Wishes stamp set. This stamp set is so adorable. The coordinating Tiny Tags dies are included in this Home for the Holidays Collection. The border I used along the bottom is only one of the 5 borders in the Cozy Borders stamp set. The Holiday Mix stamp set was used to create this sentiment "Peace, Joy and Love". This 4 x 6" sentiment set has 18 stamps that you can mix and match to suit your holiday cards just right.

I attached some silver thread to create ornaments out of these Tiny Tags, then topped them off with a bow from the Festive Trimmings stamp set. The Festive Trimmings add-on dies will also be available in Catherine Pooler Designs shop for release day.

For my final card today I went a little traditional and did some good old fashioned background stamping using clear stamping blocks from Catherine Pooler Designs store along with some of the smallest stamps in the Festive Trimmings stamp set. I blended just a little of Catherine's Sand Castle ink around the edges to tone down the bright white cardstock a little.

I used the Tiny Tags just how I would use them on a real present, stamped with a Tiny Wishes sentiment and tied on with a gold bow. These tags are the perfect size for your gifts!
