These New Cards Are A Little Bit Country... A Little Bit Christmas!

It's Day 2 of the Impression Obsession October Release blog hop, so let's say HOWDY to today's handmade card ideas. We're celebrating a country Christmas, complete with die cut cowboy hats and boots.

The best part about this new cowboy boot die is that it looks absolutely darling on country Christmas cards and crafts (plus doubles as a tag) but it's also a die you'll use all year long on a variety of cowboy or country themed cards. I LOVE products that are versatile and cute for a variety of occasions! For today's first card, I dressed up the boot with some holiday greenery and added a Christmas sentiment. 

To complement this die, no matter the occasion, there are a couple of new coordinating stamp sets - for holidays. . .or for everyday. I absolutely love this one - because CUPCAKES! 

This is just a single die, but to make the heel a different color, simply die cut the boot from two colors, and trim right along the scored edge and layer the two together. Easy peasy! 

Next up, a little more cowboy-inspired holiday hoopla, with this adorable Country Snowman. How sweet is he with that cowboy hat!? And the Deckled Frame die set is one that pairs perfectly with all of today's country card ideas. For the snowman card, I used the outer die and made the frame with the negative space.
