For my first project I am using the Winter Blocks stamp set.  At first look, this is a set that would make fabulous Christmas Cards.  However is does has great sentiments and the dotted stamp line, that would lend itself to make terrific birthday cards.  I challenged myself to create a card that could be for a male or female.  For some reason making masculine cards is very difficult for me.  But by sticking to a fairly neutral color palette with a pop of red, I was able to create a wonderful gender neutral card.

I think the theme for today's post is non-traditional lol.  Here using the Let It Snow stamp set, I made a non-traditional Holiday gift tag.  Nontraditional meaning the kraft & browns with a little bit of red, not the red & green that traditionally symbolizes Christmas colors.  With all of the beautiful new ink colors from Gina K, I was having a little too much fun.  Instead of using the snowflakes, I was drawn towards the branch and berries images, and the Happy Holidays sentiment.

Check out all the amazing designs and inspiration:
