Sneak Peek: October 2023 Dies

Hello! It’s Lindsey today and I’m super excited to be giving you a sneak peek of the amazing new dies releasing this month. They have absolutely put me in the mood for Christmas, and I think you are going to love them!

New release will be available October 11th

Today’s projects are extra special for me because these are the colors you will find in my home at Christmastime. The fabric, embellishments and overall design of my family’s stockings inspired my first card. Because I wanted everyone’s stocking to fit, this card is a large, non-traditional size (8.5×4.25).

The new Build a Stocking dies are a must have in my opinion. They are so much fun! I had a blast mixing and matching all the little pieces. The creative possibilities are endless! There are two stocking sizes that have multiple solid, stitched, and polka dot overlay options. There are lots of cuff options, too, and even more if you layer them.  

The solid outline stocking shapes also make it easy to design your own stocking. I made my floral stocking with berries and leaves from the new Holiday Mug Additions. I also added a little flower embellishment from the Winter Foliage dies onto the red polka dot stocking, but otherwise all the stockings were made using the Build a Stocking dies.

The sentiment on my card is soon-to-be-released Merry Christmas Shadow Die. And just FYI, there are two other sentiment dies releasing this month. Yay!

Oh, and if you look closely you will see the pierced snowflake design on my card base. That is the fabulous new Pierced Snowflakes Plate. Love, love, love!!! Here’s one last shot of some of the stockings I used in the photos just so you can see more design options. Once you start making these, you aren’t going to want to stop!

Okay, on to my second card!  I’m especially fond of the new Tree Cover Plate and was eager to use it.  There are so many cute patterns on these trees, and the card practically makes itself.     

After arranging my trees, I simply created a frame with the new Eyelet Rectangles and finished off the card with the previously released Merry & Bright Script Dies. 

This is a huge release, and there are several more dies releasing, so make sure you come back tomorrow to see everything in picture form. Thanks so much for joining me today!
