Hope the Holidays are all they're Cracked Up to Be

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired to create these nutcracker cards by the Pawsome Stamps Moodboard Challenge for December with is all about the shades of blue (see below). These SWEET Nutcrackers and funny pun sentiments are from one of my FAVORITE Pawsome sets called Sweet Christmas. I used the Taylored Expressions Create-in-Quads Snowflake Layering Stencil for my backgrounds.
