With the Warm Wishes Tia set there is a separate tag that you can use to label you stamped gifts, some cute and quirky snowflakes to use with the penguin or on their own. Deck the Halls Tobie has a candy cane sized to stuff your stockings, jingle bells that make great accents or could be strung on a line and much more! 

To give you some inspiration with all of these different pieces we are hopping with the Odd Girls who are sharing different takes with these new sets....And here is what I made...
