Hello, crafty friends! Arsenia here, and I am absolutely thrilled to share a sneak peek of something super fun and oh-so-cute! Today, I’m diving into the brand new Bunny Holder Dies, Easter Holder Additions Dies, and Grass Border Die — and let me tell you, these little bunny friends are beyond adorable! The possibilities are endless, so let’s hop right into some crafting!

I wanted to create a fun, whimsical scene, so I made a picture frame using the Present Shaker Dies from the last release (a total favorite of mine!). For the card base and frame, I used the classic Swiss Dots Stencil (a longtime favorite). But the real magic happens inside the frame — I used the brand new Watercolor Oval Stencil to create a dreamy blue sky with fluffy clouds. Simply rotate the stencil and voilà — instant cuteness!

For the bottom of my picture, I added the Grass Border Die (another must-have from this release!). Now it was time for the star of the show — the Bunny Holder Dies! This bunny is just too cute, and putting him together was a breeze. I glued him right into the picture frame and then added some adorable touches with the new Easter Holder Additions Dies. To finish things off, I used the new Easter Greetings Stamp Set with coordinating dies — I absolutely adore the mix of fonts in this set! And ta-da — my card is complete!

I’m obsessed with making party straws for every occasion, so I just had to make some adorable ones with these new dies! For the first one, I started with the Party Flags Die Set (another favorite from last release). I added white polka dots on a pink flag base and then layered it with cute waffle flowers from the Easter Holder Additions Dies. I created my bunny using the Bunny Holder Dies, and she’s holding a cute carrot from the Easter Holder Additions Dies! To finish the flag, I added the bow from the Present Shaker Die and topped it off with a frayed yellow bow for some extra texture. I finished it off with a sentiment from the Upright Greetings: Easter stamp set.  It’s totally adorable, and I can’t get enough of how the bunny is holding that carrot!

For my second party straw, I used the Party Flags Die Set again but added some fun texture with the Circle Grid Stencil. The bunny from the Bunny Holder Dies is holding a basket full of carrots (also from the Easter Holder Additions Dies!), and of course, I topped it off with the Present Shaker Dies bow and a frayed yellow bow for texture. I finished it off with a sentiment from the Upright Greetings: Easter stamp set.

Here are some more samples from the team featuring three of the new dies sets, along with some of the other new products.

We hope you enjoyed the first sneak peek of the March 19th release. We’ll be back tomorrow with another look at the new Easter collection!

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back to share a sneak peek of two of the new stencils that are part of the Birthday Release! I have two cards to share today so let’s get started…

New release will be available February 24th

I started my first card by creating my card panel with the Layered Birthday Cake Pops stencil set. This is a set of three stencils that layer together to create the sweetest card panel. I used dye inks and finger daubers for my blending.

Next, I used the fun Birthday Cake Pops die set to create my cake pop. This set of dies coordinates perfectly with the Layered Birthday Cake Pops stencil set but also works great on its own. So many fun possibilities! 

Lastly, I used the Birthday Scripts stamp and die set for my sentiment. 

I started my next card by using the Wavy Stripes stencil to create my card panel. This is such a fun stencil and I love that it can be used for so many occasions. I again used finger daubers and dye ink for my blending. 

Once my panel was finished I used the Let’s Party Shadow die set to create my opening for my shaker. I attached acetate to the back of the opening and filled the shaker with the Iridescent Mini Circle Confetti. I then die cut the Let’s Party sentiment and attached it directly onto the acetate. Lastly, I used the Birthday Holder Addition dies to create my party hat and cupcake. 

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my cards. I can’t wait to see what you create with these fun new products!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m super happy to be back on the blog with this new set of card and tag showcasing die sets from the February 2025 Release! This release is absolutely amazing, and I had a blast working on very colorful projects with all the new products, finding inspiration in the gorgeous Party Time shaker beads mix.

New release will be available February 24th

I started off with the card, and cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I entirely covered with spun sugar oxide ink first. Next I used the Layered Garlands stencil to add a colorful pattern to my panel with seedless preserves, worn lipstick, lumberjack plaid, lucky clover, mowed lawn and salty ocean oxide inks. I splattered water on my panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some copic opaque white ink water and used a slim brush to add more splatters to my panel, and then I did the same with fossilized amber distress spritz and with black soot oxide ink to add more shine and contrast.

Next I cut the four sections of my Fringe Present, as well as the bow, out of colored cardstock. I added dots to each piece of the present using the Medium Polka Dots stencil along with matching distress inks, and stars to the bow using the Starry Background stencil. I added splatters of copic opaque white ink to all those elements, and while everything was drying, I cut a star out of gold glitter cardstock using a Onesie Shaker die and a large Eyelet Square out of vellum. I also cut the Happy Birthday Shadow pieces out of gold mirror cardstock and vellum, and assembled my greeting. 

I assembled the four Fringe Present pieces using 1mm foam squares, attached the present to the vellum Eyelet Square panel using 1mm foam tape, and then stuck the whole piece to my Layered Garlands panel using foam tape again. The bow, star and greeting were attached using 1mm foam squares, I lifted the fringes with my fingers, and then moved on to the tag.

I absolutely love to create see-through shaker tags, I always follow the same steps, so here is how I built it:

1. Cut a Present Shaker frame out of colored cardstock and a whole Present Shaker panel out of acetate
2. Attach the frame to the acetate panel using liquid glue
3. Flip the panel over and add foam strips at the back of the frame all along the four edges
4. Pour Party Time shaker beads inside the frame
5. Cut another Present Shaker out of acetate and stick it to the foam strips
6. Cut the handle using a Build An Ornament die and attach it to the acetate, right at the top of the tag
7. Cut another Present Shaker frame and stick it to the acetate panel to finish the back of the tag nicely

Next I cut all the pieces to decorate the present. I cut the bow using another Present Shaker die, as well as Streamers out of colored cardstock. I added the same pattern to the bow as the one on the Fringe Present card using the Starry Background stencil, and added copic opaque white ink splatters to the bow, streamers and present frame. I cut a gold glitter star using a Onesie Shaker die, cut the For You pieces out of gold mirror cardstock and vellum, and assembled my greeting. I attached the bow at the top of my Present Shaker and the golden star on top using foam squares, added gold ribbon and twine to the handle, and finally stuck my greeting on the Streamers using liquid glue.

And that’s it! Oh how I love all those bright and happy colors, I can’t wait to share more birthday projects with that same color palette! Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed today’s projects. See you next time!

Hi friends, it’s Jeanne here today and I’m so excited to share a sneak peek of the new Birthday Icons Stamp Set! This is the latest addition to the Icons collection that already includes Valentine, Fall, Halloween and Holiday. The stamp set includes 12 iconic images that capture the symbols of the event including cake, presents, balloons and party hats!     

New release will be available February 24th

The coordinating die set includes all the cuts for the 12 images as well as stackable shapes to mat the images.   This time the largest outer circle is a zig zag award shape. I cut mine from gold glitter paper so that they really shine! 

The mini Icons sets do not include sentiments so they’re perfect for pairing with your favorites.  I used the new Upright Greetings: Birthday today on my cards.

What I love best about the Icons series is their versatility. I used the Square Grid Stencil to create a panel of colorful boxes that I topped with bright Birthday icon images.

A double cut Sentiment Strip stamped with an Upright Greeting: Birthday sentiment makes a perfect little tag to adhere to my card. 

My cards today feature primarily pink, but wouldn’t they look great in just about any color customized for the birthday you’re celebrating? 

I hope you’ll stop by tomorrow when we’ll be showing more projects made with this new release! I just know you’re going to love it! 

Hello everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the playful Number Candles and Alphabet Candles stamps and dies. You’ll love customizing your cards using these cute and creative new products. Let’s get started!

New release will be available February 24th

My first card uses the Alphabet Candles stamps and coordinating dies to create a banner across the center of the card.  I’ve spelled out “Party” and added “Let’s” using the Let’s Party Shadow Dies.     

Each of my Alphabet Candles is hanging from a streamer, die cut using the new and oh, so darling Streamer dies.  My background on my card was created using the new Layered Garlands Stencils. This stencil set is so much fun to mix and match colors with!

You might notice my vellum layering piece that I used to soften my background, cut using the Eyelet Ovals dies. I adore these sweet shapes and they create such perfect layers. My felt stars were cut using the Stitched Stars dies and are so much fun to stack together and top with a tiny button.

My next card uses the new Present Shaker dies to create a fun, wrapped up package on the center of my card, complete with birthday sprinkles inside! 

Before adhering my shaker, I used the Cascading Stars Stencil to create a festive card base. Next came my pretty package, tied up with a bow using the Present Shaker dies once again. I love that this set comes complete with two different styles of bows.

I tucked in my Alphabet Candle, selecting the number “8” for my darling niece’s birthday, and then added a tag with my sentiment stamped across the front. I created this using the Mini Tags and Valentine Icons dies.  

To finish, I draped banners across the front using the Streamer dies once again.  These are such irresistible products, perfect for celebrating birthdays throughout the year!  Thanks for joining me.

Hello, Crafty Friends! Arsenia here, excited to share a sneak peek using the brand-new Birthday Dogs and Cats stamp set with coordinating dies!  These images are absolutely adorable, making them perfect for crafting fun birthday cards for both children and adults. Let’s dive in!

New release will be available February 24th

For my first card, I began by stamping, coloring, and die-cutting the cute images from the Birthday Dogs and Cats stamp set using the coordinating dies. To create the card panel, I turned to the new Layered Garland stencil set – a favorite of mine for creating gorgeous backgrounds! I then used the largest die from the Eyelet Square Die Set, leaving it white for a clean and simple border.

Next, I grabbed the new Present Shaker Die Set—which the square die fits perfectly on the eyelet square die—and did some ink blending over it using the new Cascading Stars stencil, another fun new addition. Once the square image was adhered to my card front, it was time to arrange the adorable Birthday Dogs and Cats images.

I then added extra flair using new dies, including the new Streamer Dies, Birthday Holder Additions Dies, and Birthday Cake Pops Dies.  Trust me, you’re going to love these new products! To finish it off, I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Dogs and Cats stamp set and added a sweet bow with ribbon and a star charm. Ta-da—my card was complete! I had so much fun creating with these products and absolutely adore this new release!

For my second card, I once again used the new Layered Garland stencil set, cutting the panel down to 5 x 3.75 inches. For the card base, I adhered 1.25-inch strips of cardstock, then attached the stenciled panel on top.

Now, get ready for another sneak peek! I used the new Scallop Flag Tags Dies—specifically the second-largest die—as a perfect backdrop for my images. I also incorporated a die from the new Streamer Dies Set and added some bows from the Beautiful Bows Die Set to give the card a festive touch.

I then arranged the images on the Scallop Flag Tag and adorned it with dies from the new Birthday Cake Pops Dies. The cute balloons are from the Birthday Wreath Stamp Set with coordinating dies. To add a little extra detail, I used a white gel pen for highlights and finished the card with a sentiment from the Birthday Dogs and Cats stamp set. And just like that, my second card was complete, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this sneak peek! The new Birthday Dogs and Cats stamp set is such a joy to work with, and I just love their adorable expressions. Thank you so much for stopping by today. I can’t wait for you to get your hands on this new releases – the products are perfect for any birthday celebration. Wishing you all a wonderful day filled with creativity!
