To celebrate this special release, I created two layered tags with the Layered Scallop Tags dies and Splendid Snowflakes dies, and a winter card featuring the Peaceful Dove Embossing Folder & Cutting Die Set.
Here are the details of each project.

Peaceful Dove Winter Card

For the card, I embossed white cardstock using the Peaceful Dove Embossing Folder & Cutting Die Set.
Across the sky, I blended Stormy Sky Distress Oxide ink, letting the color fade into gentle winter blue.
White paint splatters fall like snowflakes drifting through quiet air.

The dove was embossed and die-cut separately from white cardstock and adhered over the embossed base to add texture.

I colored the berries with an acrylic marker, added highlights with a white gel pen, and traced the raised branches with a silver gel pen.

The sentiment comes from the Merry Messages Plate & Die Set from the Wonderland Collection.
I hot foiled it in silver onto Indigo cardstock, die-cut it, and attached it with foam tape.

Layered Scallop Tags – Ocean + Waterfall Tag

For the first tag, I used Ocean Side cardstock and Waterfall cardstock.

I die-cut the smaller tag from Waterfall and used the snowflake die to cut a window from the center.
Then I added three white Splendid Snowflakes on top for dimension.

I finished the center details with Antique Gold embellishments and used Blush cardstock for the small topper piece at the top.

Layered Scallop Tags – Red Glitter Tag

For the second tag, I used a white tag base and added the next layer die-cut from red glitter cardstock.

The snowflakes were die-cut from white glitter cardstock, and I added white pearl embellishments to finish the design.
