Sneak Peek: January 2024 Dies
Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m super excited to give you a peek of some of the amazing new dies releasing this month. There is lots of Valentine’s and St. Patrick’s Day goodness, but many things that you can reach for all year.
New release will be available January 3rd
My first card features five new die sets. The stars of the show are the new Stitched Hearts Dies. This set has such a great variety of sizes and patterns. I die cut them in several shades of pink and purple and blended ink on the edges.
Then I used words from the new Elegant Banner Heart Dies to turn them into conversation hearts. Because the letters cut individually I was even able to create a few words of my own.
I mounted them all the hearts on a card base cut with the new Pierced Hearts Die. (I love it and know I will reach for it often!) I also added a few tiny white hearts from the XOXO Border Die. After splattering on some white paint, I was ready to add the new Be Mine Shadow Die for my sentiment. Hooray for more dies in this line-up! I love their larger size and that I can use them separate or layered.
Next up is a card that has had me smiling for a month. My Irish grandmother made St. Patrick’s Day a really special day for my family, so I was thrilled to see Pretty Pink Posh create some more St. Patrick’s Day products. I started by covering my card base with Stitched Shamrocks. Like the Stitched Hearts, they come in a variety of sizes and cute patterns.
Next I created this fabulous cupcake. I’m pretty sure I squealed when I saw the Big Valentine Cupcake Dies. The size is perfect, and I know it is going to be a staple for me. It is big enough to be the focal point on a card or to be a tag, and I’m pretty sure everyone I know will be getting cupcake tags on their birthday gifts this year.
After I pieced together the cupcake, I added glitter and sprinkles using the new Lucky Day Shaker Beads and St. Patrick’s Day Mix Confetti. Then I topped it with a glittery shamrock (the smallest die in the Stitched Shamrocks set).
I finished my card with a two-part sentiment using the new Lucky Shadow Dies and a sentiment from the Lucky stamp set that I embossed on a Sentiment Strip Die. I’m looking forward to using this sentiment combo all year. There are many people I feel blessed to know. :)
Thanks so much for joining me today! This release is packed with dies, so even though I’ve used a bunch on my cards today, there are even more to get excited about!

Love the hearts. Will definitely be getting them. Love that they have patterns on. So versatile.
