My first card today uses the gorgeous Classic Christmas Stamps along with the new Season's Greetings Word Die.
 

I started this card by stamping and coloring some images from Classic Christmas Stamps.  I wanted to keep the colors a little soft because I wanted to use them with this woodgrain snowflake paper.  When I got all the images colored and cut out, I felt it needed a little something more than just the beautiful rose gold sentiment cut with the Season's Greetings Word Die.  So, I added a rectangle of vellum cut with the previously released Side-Stitched Rectangles.  It was just enough to make the sentiment pop even more.  I added some glossy accents here and there for a little extra shine.  Here's a closer look:

My second card today uses the Pie Die Set and Hap-pie Thanksgiving Stamps.

I wanted to create a little sentiment of my own that reminded me of a chalkboard sentiment so this whole card started with that idea.  First, I cut my tag using Anytime Tags 2 from kraft cardstock and stamped portions of my sentiment using the new Hap-pie Thanksgiving Stamps and an old favorite of mine, the So Thankful Stamps I added some of the cute images from the same sets to add a little more of that hand lettered feel.  Then I got to building this card.  I chose a fun plaid for the main patterned paper because the orange in it looked so pumpkin like and I knew I was going to use the little pie I made with the Pie Die Set on this card.  I tried layering my pie with just the tag cut it wasn't looking how I wanted it to so I cute some green paper with a Long & Skinny Rectangle.  I slide the top part of my tag under the border and it was the perfect banner now!  I added some twine and my pumpkin to finish things off.  Here's another look:
