Hi friends, Melissa here and today I’m sharing a couple of cards made with the darling, new Floral Wreath Builder, Scallops Pierced Plate, and Stitched Hummingbird dies

I began my first card using the beautiful Scallops Pierced Plate. This die is so delicate, detailed, and truly irresistible. The pierced detailing adds so much charm and sweet personality to any card.

The Floral Wreath Builder was used to create my focal point…it is a stunner!  I chose to arrange my flowers across the bottom of my wreath adding a bow and more wispy leaves at the top.  I die cut a few of the leaves from patterned paper and scattered them around my wreath.

My sentiment is from the new Friend Greetings stamp set and dies and is the perfect size to nestle inside the opening of my wreath.  You’ll love arranging your florals in creative ways around your own wreath!

My next card uses the new Stitched Hummingbird dies. These tiny birds bring in so much color and charm…I adore them!  I ink blended both of my birds then added water droplets to create a soft, ethereal, watercolor look and feel.

They are layering over a Notched Squares die that I stenciled to create a cloudy, sunshiny sky. Once again, my sentiment is from the Friend Greetings stamp and dies sets.  I love this sentiment, don’t you?

In the background, I have used the new Layered Blooming Vines stencils and then ran it through with my beautiful Scallops Pierced Plate…double the beauty!

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 this sneak peek. We’ll be back tomorrow with a full picture reveal of the release!

Hey there, crafty friends!  It’s Arsenia here, and I am steeping with excitement to spill the tea on a sneak peek that’s as sweet as sugar cubes in your favorite cuppa!

I’ve been brewing up something special with the delightfully whimsical Tea Time Stamp Set—and yes, I absolutely brought the coordinating dies to the party. This charming set is overflowing with creative potential for all kinds of occasions, but today, I’m serving up a cheerful birthday card! Because let’s be real… can you ever have too many birthday cards on hand? (Didn’t think so.)

So grab your favorite beverage and settle in—because this crafty moment is steeped in fun (you know I had to).

First, I stamped out the sweet images from the Tea Time Stamp set and colored them in with my trusty Olo Markers, using soft blues, sunny yellows, and bright red tones. Then came the magical moment—cutting them out with the Tea Time coordinating dies. And let me tell you, these images? Absolutely adorable.

For the background, I played with the fabulous new Layered Blooming Vines Stencil—and oh my goodness, I’m obsessed! I used dye inks in shades that matched my colored images for a cohesive, whimsical look that totally ties the scene together.

To anchor the design, I reached for my new go-to: the Notched Squares Die Set. It created the perfect little frame for my tea party to unfold.

To finish it all off, I tucked in a few leafy bits from the new Floral Wreath Builder Die Set (another must-have—you’ll see why soon!), stamped and die-cut the perfect sentiment using the Tea Time set with coordinating dies, and sprinkled in a few hearts from the Build A Heart Die Set for that extra dash of sweetness.

And voilà—one charming, cheerful birthday card all done and dusted! I’m totally in love with how it turned out, and I can’t wait to show you even more tea-rific inspiration soon.

Stay tuned, crafty friends—there’s so much more fun on the way!

I hope you’re as excited as I am about these new stamps as we are. The possibilities are endless!

May Intro: Notched Squares + Teacup Shaker + Vase Shaker

Welcome to day two of sneak peeks for our May 7th release! Today we’ll be showing a look at the Vase Shaker, Teacup Shaker, and Notched Squares die sets.

New release will be available May 7th

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube


Hello everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the beautiful, new Vase Shaker, Teacup Shaker, and Notched Squares dies.  If you love creating with dies as much as I do, these products were made for you. Let’s get started!

My first card uses the delightful Vase Shaker…oh how I love it!  I die cut it from aqua cardstock, using an aqua striped patterned paper as the base layer.  I filled it full of sequins, clay confetti, and seed beads.  I used a thin vellum instead of acetate to create my shaker, allowing the filler to shine through very subtly.

I filled my vase with darling blooms, cut using the new Floral Wreath Builder and Spring Floral dies. The bow from the Floral Wreath Builder was the perfect touch at the top of my vase.

The irresistible new Layered Daffodils stencils were used to create my background, stenciling in colors to coordinate with the yellow daffodil in my floral arrangement.  I then used one of the larger Notched Squares dies to layer under my vase to create a nice landing space for my focal point. My sentiment is from the new Simple Thanks stamps and dies and is the perfect size to grace the center of my shaker.

My next card uses the new and oh, so adorable Teacup Shaker.  I can’t get over how cute this is and the color choices, patterns, and personality are endless!  I cut my teacup from patterned paper in coordinating patterns and colors.

I chose to use flowers from the Floral Wreath Builder die collection to fill my cup, ink blending them in yellows and oranges.  I added my sentiment on the die cut tea bag that comes with the set and stamped it using the new Hummingbird Floral set. The coordinating die is so graceful and sweet and looks perfect across the front of my teacup.

Once again I’ve used the Notched Squares dies to create my base layers, using a fresh gingham as the bottom layer followed by a white center layer. These dies are definitely must-haves in your crafting stash!

This sweet May release is absolutely a breath of fresh air!  Creating with them is truly inspiring and full of possibilities.  Thanks for visiting!

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

I hope you’re as excited as I am about these gorgeous new products!

New release will be available May 7th

Hey crafty friends! Arsenia here, and I’ve got something super exciting to share—a first look at the brand new, dimensional Shadow Box Die Set! This little gem is all about BIG impact. It’s a 3D dream come true, and the best part? It’s ridiculously easy to put together.

Whether you’re going for cute, classy, or totally out-of-the-box (pun intended), the creative possibilities are endless. Seriously, once you start playing with it, your crafty brain will be buzzing with ideas!

I had an absolute blast creating this dreamy little shadow box card, and I’m so excited to share how it came together! Let’s dive in:

First things first—I grabbed my trusty Shadow Box Die Set and cut out the base and tier pieces from white cardstock. Using the cloud die from the same set, I created a quick stencil and added some soft, whimsical clouds to the back panel of the shadow box. It instantly gave the whole scene a floaty, beautiful vibe!

Next up: the grassy hills. I used the tiers I’d already cut and transformed them with the grass die (yep, also in the Shadow Box Die Set). A little green dye ink brought those hills to life—so fresh and springy!

Time to assemble—and let me tell you, this shadow box comes together like a dream. Super easy, super satisfying.

Once it was built, I had so much fun decorating both the inside and outside of the box. I went wild with florals from the brand new Spring Floral Die Set—it’s quickly become a favorite of mine!  I also added some delicate details from the Butterfly Border Die Set for an extra touch of whimsy.

To finish it off, I framed the box with the scalloped edge (included in the Shadow Box Die Set) and layered on even more flowers and some sweet hearts from the Build A Heart Die Set. For the sentiment, I used the adorable Friend Greetings stamp set with coordinating dies—seriously, the mix of fonts is just so playful and fun!

Final touch? A few white paint splatters for a little sparkle!  And voilà—my springtime shadow box card is complete! Best part? It fits perfectly in an A2 envelope, making it super easy to mail to someone special.

Ready to see some samples by the team? You’re in for a treat!

We hope you enjoyed the first sneak peek of the May 7th release. We’ll be back tomorrow with another look at the new collection!

March Intro: Tulip Shaker + Butterfly Border + Carrot Shaker

Welcome to the day 3 of sneak peeks for our March 19th release! We are thrilled to introduce this collection of Easter-themed products, many of which are perfect for your spring projects as well. Today we’ll be highlighting the Tulip Shaker, Butterfly Border and Carrot Shaker die sets, but you’ll also get glimpses of some other new products as well!

New release will be available March 19th

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube


Hello everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the beautiful, new Pretty Pink Posh stencils. If you love stencils as much as I do, you’ll absolutely want to add these to your crafting stash. I’ve also incorporated the darling Carrot Shaker and Tulip Shaker dies. Let’s get started!

My first card uses the Watercolor Oval Stencil topped by the Line Bursts Stencils to create my background.  I love layering stencils, and this is a fun way to do just that.  I wanted a soft, daylight sky with some sun rays shining in the distance and these two stencils created just the look I was going for.

I then added in my Tulip Shaker dies, creating a layered flower instead of a shaker flower. I love the versatility of these delightful dies!  I added patterned paper to my leaves and tulip topper to bring in some pattern and texture.

A couple of pretty flowers on each side of the tulip were cut using the Easter Bucket Addition dies and then the Grass Border across the bottom…such a fun die for Spring and any time of the year. Lastly, I added a sentiment at the top using the Easter Greetings stamps. All that was left was to add some adhesive pearls and Stickles glitter to add some shimmer and shine.

My next card uses the new and oh, so adorable Springtime Borders Stencils to create my background. I used colored pencils to add detail to the carrots, tulips, and leaves. I offset my carrots and carrot tops a bit to create the look of a bundle of carrots…another fun way to use these stencils.

Next, I added my die cut Carrot Shaker adding florals at the top and bottom using the Spring Foliage dies in soft purples and greens. I used my Line Bursts Stencils once again across the front of my carrot to resemble lines you may see across the front of any carrot.

I used the sweet, Upright Greetings Easter stamps to create my sentiment and tucked them under the petals of my flowers.  This is such a fun way to add a sentiment, don’t you think?  I added a tiny die cut Picket Fence border across the bottom to finish,  

Ready to see the darling projects from some of the team? These colors are making us long for the flowers to start blooming and the sun to shine (it’s been so dreary here in Washington).

We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek. We’ll be back tomorrow with a full picture reveal of the release!

Welcome to the day 2 of sneak peeks for our March 19th release! We are thrilled to introduce this collection of Easter-themed products, many of which are perfect for your spring projects as well. Today we’ll be highlighting the Build An Egg + Fringe Egg + Easter Bucket Additions die sets.

New release will be available March 19th

Hey crafty friends! Arsenia here, back with a sneak peek of some egg-cellent new products that are going to make your crafty heart skip a beat! Get ready to meet the whimsical, fun, and oh-so-practical Build an Egg Dies and Fringe Egg Dies! These dies are perfect for crafting everything from cards and tags to cake toppers, cupcake toppers, party straws, and SO much more! I’ve got two cards to share today—so grab a cuppa, sit back, and let’s dive in!

For my first card, I’m playing with the Build An Egg Dies—and let me tell you, it’s a blast! I started with a clean, white card base and paired it with the dreamy new Watercolor Oval Stencil for my card panel. Then, I die-cut three of the four eggs from the Build An Egg Die set using white cardstock. Time for some ink blending fun! I blended in gorgeous shades of blue and green, giving the eggs a fresh, pastel look.

Next, I added loads of little decorative pieces from the Build An Egg die set, all in matching colors. And here’s the trick—don’t overthink it! Just have fun and go wild with your color combos! I adhered the eggs to the card panel, added a cute bows (from the new Easter Bucket Additions die set in yellow and vellum), and finished off with the sentiment from the new Easter Greetings stamp set and the coordinating dies for the perfect touch!

Of course, no card is complete without a little sparkle, so I splattered some shimmer all over the panel—voila! The card is done and it’s a pastel masterpiece.

Now onto my second card—featuring the brand new Fringe Egg Dies! I started by creating a soft background using one of my favorite stencils from the last release, the Layered Garlands stencils. For the card panel, I used the new Watercolor Oval Stencil to create a perfect base for my fringed egg.

I die-cut all four pieces from the Fringe Egg Die set in white cardstock, then blended on some more fun blue-green ink. The fringe effect is so fun and textural—love it! I assembled the egg with a little glue, and decided to give it a pop of floral goodness using the Easter Holder Additions Dies. These little flowers in white glitter paper are just the right touch of sparkle.

To finish things off, I topped the egg with a sweet paper bow, created with the Present Shaker Dies (because why not?). For the sentiment, I turned to an oldie but goodie—the Sentiment Strips: Easter stamp set. Using the Sentiment Strips die set, I cut out the sentiment, flagged the end for a fun detail, and added it all to the card panel.

Of course, no card would be complete without a little extra sparkle—so I splattered some shimmer all over, and ta-da! The card is ready to shine!

Ready to see some samples by the team? You’re in for a treat!

I hope you’re as excited as I am about these egg-citing new products! The Build an Egg, Fringe Egg and Easter Bucket Additions dies are sure to be some of your new favorites in your crafty stash. Honestly, the possibilities are endless!

March Intro: Bunny Holder + Easter Holder Additions + Grass Border

Welcome to the first day of sneak peeks for our March 19th release! We are thrilled to introduce this collection of Easter-themed products, many of which are perfect for your spring projects as well. This release includes three stamp sets (two with coordinating dies), five stencils, nine standalone dies, and four embellishments.

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!

Sneak Peek: February 2025 Stencils

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

Sneak Peek: February 2025 Dies

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!
