The second day of the Holiday reveals is filled with the most adorable Christmas designs from Holiday Haul Stamp Set and Wreath Pups Stamp Set! Please, note that both new stamp sets come with the coordinating Holiday Haul Die Set and Wreath Pups Die Set!

Giveaway alert!! NND is giving away both new Holiday Haul and Wreath Pups stamp sets to lucky winners so make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post to see how to win!

My today’s cards turned out with a traditional red and green color scheme inspired by the patterns from new Christmas Time Paper and Canine Christmas Paper pads! It was so quick and easy to create both layouts for the card fronts mixing and matching pattern papers.

• Die cut from Neenah Solar White paper a faux stitched rectangle, using Frames & Flags Die Set.
