Welcome to the North Coast Creations November Release! And we some images just perfect for the pet lovers’ Christmas cards.  
On my first card, I used the sweet Santa Paws set. Â I stamped the puppy and ornament separately and die cut them using the ODBD Circle Ornament dies. I used a larger Spellbinder circle for the gold backings and ornament toppers. A single ODBD pinecone image was stamped behind the ornaments. A curved border die was used on the 2 pieces of Christmas Collection 2013 paper for the lower section. The card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.
Supplies:
| Stamps: North Coast Creations –Santa Paws, ODBD – Pinecone Singles |
| Paper: Neenah white, metallic gold, ODBD Christmas paper collection 2013 |
| Ink: Memento tuxedo black, bamboo leaves |
| Accessories: Copic markers, ODBD Circle Ornament dies, Spellbinders circles &  curved border dies, puppy button |
On my second card, I used the very cute Santa Claws set. After stamping and coloring with Copics, I used a rectangle die and my Nestie out of the box technique to die cut it. An oval die was used for the greeting and I attached a little die cut bow from the ODBD Circle Ornament dies on top. The large white panel was embossed and attached to a gingham pattern from the Christmas Collection 2013. I also added a narrow strip of the same paper behind the cat along w/ a punched red zigzag.
The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Love your cards. The dog ornaments were espeecially creative, I thought, and reminded me that there are many ways to use stamps besides just “as is!”
Those images are just the sweetest.
You have such good ideas for your cards, I will have to use some.Thanks,
Julie, I love them both! So clever to use the two ornaments on the first and I am in LOVE with the kitty’s green eyes on the second! Beautiful colors and designs on both cards! HUGS!!
