Hello, my crafty friends! Arsenia here, welcoming you to Day 3 of our cozy November Release Sneak Peeks! Today’s post is bursting with frosty charm, glittery snowbanks, and penguin-sized cuteness.

This release is absolutely snow-laden with possibilities — penguins galore, twinkling trees, icy hills, and a dash of holiday magic. I whipped up two cards, a set of tags, and even a little tag holder box (because what’s winter without a few surprises?). My color palette? Classic holiday red, frosty blues, and just a wink of green — simple, cozy, and perfectly festive. Let’s slide right in!

Card One: Shake, Sparkle, and Let It Snow!

For my first frosty creation, I reached for the new Igloo Shaker Die, Penguin Friends stamp set (with coordinating dies), Let It Snow stamps, and Winter Tags — a perfect combo for a snow-filled celebration!

I started by ink-blending panels with the new Snowflake Background Stencil, using three shades of icy blue for a chilly ombré effect. Then I added a dark, twinkling layer using the new Twinkle Stencil — instant winter magic! These panels became the frosty base for all my projects today (yes, I made four — I couldn’t stop!).

Next up, the Igloo Shaker — cut from soft blue cardstock and gently ink-blended for frosty depth. I filled it with a storm of clear sequins and snowflake confetti, then layered three snowy hills using the new Snowy Hills Borders — two white and one glittery, because sparkle is always a good idea.

A charming winter tree (from the new Winter Trees Die Set) stood tall in the background, and of course, the star of the show — a cheerful little penguin from the Penguin Friends stamp set, all decked out with a touch of glitter on his hat!

For the sentiment, I white-embossed Winter Greetings onto red cardstock from the new Let it Snow Stamp set with coordinating dies. My sub sentiment is paired with the word snow from the Winter Tags set. A sprinkle of red hearts (thank you, Build A Heart Dies) finished it off perfectly. And just like that — a snowy, sparkly shaker card was born!

Card Two: Tags, Twinkles, and a Touch of Fun

For my next card, I used one of my stenciled panels (a blend of Snowflake Background and Twinkle Stencil). I trimmed it to size and mounted it on a blue card base.

Then came the stars of the show — three adorable images from the Winter Tags stamp set, colored up with my trusty OLO markers. To add a little dimension, I framed the scene using the new Notched Rectangles Dies — one crisp white frame and one in festive red, layered just slightly off-center.

A dainty bow (from the beloved Beautiful Bows Die Set) and a sprinkle of hearts from Build a Heart dies brought everything together. And because it wouldn’t be a proper winter card without it — I added white splatters for that freshly fallen snow look. Ta-da! You’d think tags belong on gifts, but oh no — they make stunning cards too!

Tags & Holder Box: Frosty Favors and Tiny Treasures

Now for the grand finale — the tags and tag holder box! Using my earlier stenciled panels, I cut out three tags with the new Winter Tags Dies. Each tag got its own little snowy tree (from the Winter Trees Die set), a heartfelt sentiment from Christmas Banner Greetings, and a red heart using the Build A Heart Dies. Add a flurry of white splatters and voilà — winter perfection!

For a finishing touch, I created a mini box using the Notched Rectangles Dies to hold my tags. The notched edges act like adorable little “snowshoe feet,” making the box extra charming. Imagine these at your holiday table — tiny tag holders filled with chocolates or notes of gratitude. The possibilities are truly endless! 

For my final trio of tags using the Notched Rectangles Dies as tags, I switched things up — one with a snowy tree from Winter Trees Die set, one featuring our darling penguin friend from Penguin Friends Stamp set, and one with a shimmering snowflake from the Stitched Snowflake Dies.
