Today we are spotlighting 2 sets:

 Beyond Baskets illustrated by Melanie

Joyful Holiday illustrated by Theresa

First up, is my card using Beyond Baskets. This set has four new basket options that coordinates with seven of Melanie's previous basket stamp sets for endless combinations!  I used a basket bottom with a Christmas topper from the Basket Additions set for my tag.  That Santa is so happy with his liquid applique hat!

 My next card uses Joyful Holiday.  I LOVE the poinsettia image in this set.  It's so pretty and poinsettias are my favorite Christmas image.  I kept this card is pretty simple, I stamped the image in black ink and colored it with copic markers.  The pattern paper on this card is from Gina's Blizzard pack.  I accented the image with a punched border, a touch of ribbon and rounded corner.

Don't forget, all the new stamp sets are now offered in CLEAR which is what I linked.  But if you prefer rubber, click on the What's New Section and you will see both options.

Check out all the amazing designs and inspiration:
