Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Arsenia, and I’m beyond excited to kick off sneak peeks for our September Holiday Release! If you love cute, festive, and joy-sparking goodies, you are in for a TREAT!
This release is bursting with holiday cheer — think Candy Canes, Jingle Bells, Snowmen, Gingerbread, and oh-so-sweet sentiments! Today, I’m giving you a peek at three brand-new dies that I know you’re going to love:
Candy Cane Shaker Dies
Christmas Bell Shaker Dies
Large Merry Shadow Die
Yep — it’s shaker time, friends! I created three bold, retro-inspired shaker cards using just three fabulous colors: a mid-tone aqua, deep aqua, and a bright cherry red! Let’s dive into the holiday wonder!
I kicked things off with the new Candy Cane Stripes Stencil — and let me tell you, this single stencil packs a punch! I gave it a twist (literally) and created a diagonal plaid background using mid-tone aqua ink — so fun!
Next up? The cutest ever Candy Cane Shaker Dies! I filled them with the new Candy Cane Shaker Beads and a sparkling mix of Sparkling Clear Sequins. To make it even more festive, I added some adorable die cuts from the new Christmas Bell Shaker die set.
The sentiment? Straight from the new Gingerbread Friends Stamp Set, paired with coordinating dies — sweet and whimsical! A few Sparkling Clear Snowflake Sequins, snowy white splatters, and a tiny red heart from the Build a Heart Die Set… and voilà! Card one is a holiday dream come true.
For my second card, I started with the brand-new Layered Christmas Bells Stencil to create a soft, festive background. Then it was time to build the star of the show — a sparkly shaker bell using the new Christmas Bell Shaker Dies!
I filled this beauty with Sparkling Clear Sequins and Snowflake Sequins, then topped it off with layered greenery and a dramatic triple-stacked bow from the same die set (you know I love a little extra flair!).
Of course, I had to sneak in more hearts using the Build a Heart Die Set — one of my go-to sets! I finished it off with a lovely white border using the Fancy Cake Frame Die, more snowy splatters, and a sentiment from the new Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp Set, perfectly cut with the new Banner Greetings 1 Die set. So elegant, so merry!
For my final card, I went soft and cozy with a subtle plaid background using the Candy Cane Stripes Stencil in a very light gray. I created a shaker frame with the beloved Wonky Stitched Rectangles Dies and filled it with tons of hearts (thank you again, Build a Heart Die Set!) and shimmering sequins.
Now here’s where the fun multiplies — I used the brand new Large Merry Shadow Die for a bold, repeat sentiment look across the card front! It’s modern, festive, and so eye-catching. To finish it off, I added a few more pops of red hearts and a sweet greeting from the new Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp Set, paired with the matching Banner Greetings 1 Die. The banner greeting and dies are so fun and whimsical!
I’m OBSESSED with how this turned out — clean, classic, and full of cheer!
That’s a wrap on today’s sneak peeks, friends! I hope you had as much fun as I did. And guess what? We’re just getting started! Be sure to stop by again tomorrow for even more festive fun from the September Holiday Release.
