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!
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!
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 theSquare Grid Stencilto create a panel of colorful boxes that I topped with bright Birthday icon images.
A double cut Sentiment Stripstamped 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 Tagsand 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!

We will see you tomorrow as we show you the new products in a video and the products go live individually. Plus, we’ll kick off our four day blog hop!
I started off by cutting a large Eyelet Rectangle out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I masked the four scalloped edges with washi tape, colored the panel with spun sugar oxide ink first, and then added a fun pattern using the Medium Polka Dots stencil along with kitsch flamingo oxide ink. I splattered water and dried the panel with a paper towel, mixed some picked raspberry oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add more splatters, I did the same with seedless preserves oxide ink, with copic opaque white ink and with liquid stardust, and once my panel was dry, I attached a piece of ribbon at the very bottom.
I cut all the hearts and decorative pieces out of colored cardstock, directly inspired by the Hugs & Kisses confetti mix. I assembled everything using liquid glue, and splattered white ink on all the hearts to give them more character.
I cut three additional large hearts out of holographic cardstock and attached them at the back of the large colorful hearts using liquid glue, I stuck all the hearts on the panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, tied a bow using the same ribbon as before, and attached it on the left hand corner.
I stamped and embossed “Hugs & kisses” from Valentine Greetings in silver on white cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and attached it on the upper right hand corner using foam squares. Finally I attached my Eyelet Rectangle panel to a purple striped 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a white card base using liquid glue.
Next I created the shaker tag using the Love Word Shaker, and here is how I built it:1. Cut a Love Word Shaker frame out of lilac cardstock using the main die and heart die from the set2. Cut a whole Love Word Shaker panel out of acetate, trimmed the heart and attached it at the back of the purple frame right behind the heart using liquid glue3. Added foam strips at the back of the frame all around the heart, and behind each letter as well4. Poured some Hugs & Kisses confetti inside the heart frame5. Cut another Love Word Shaker acetate panel, trimmed the heart, and attached it to the foam strips on the heart purple frame to totally close the shaker element5. Cut another Love Word Shaker purple frame, and attached it to the foam strips to finish the back of the tag6. Cut a light blue handle using a Build A Stocking die, and stuck it on top of the “L”
I cut the “L”, “V” and “E” out of colored cardstock, added a pattern to each letter using the Mini Polka Dots stencil and matching distress inks, added white ink to each element, and once everything was dry, I attached the letters to my Love Word Shaker panel using 1mm foam squares. I also cut a small heart from Xoxo Border out of holographic cardstock, and attached it right in the center of the shaker heart.
I had one more Build A Heart heart that couldn’t fit on the card, so I added a handle to that heart, and tied it to my Love Word Shaker tag using purple twine and heart beads from my stash. Next I stamped and embossed “I love you” and “Hugs & kisses” from Upright Greetings: Valentine in silver on white cardstock, and trimmed them into slim banners using Sentiments Strips dies. I cut two additional strips out of purple cardstock, attached them behind the white banners, and then attached both banners using liquid glue. And finally, to totally match with the card, I tied a bow using the same ribbon as before, and stuck it at the top of the banner strips using liquid glue.
And that’s it! It was super fun to cut and assemble all those pieces to create this set of card and shaker tag, and I hope that these have inspired you to create your own set! Thanks so much for stopping, and see you next time.
Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be sharing a sneak peek of two of the new stencils that are part of the new Valentine’s Day release. The new release will be available on January 6th and it’s packed full of amazing new products for Valentine’s Day and more!
New release will be available January 6th
For my first card I used the Scattered Hearts Frame stencil to create my card panel. I used dye ink and finger daubers for my blending. This stencil has scattered hearts around a large heart in the center. The large heart is the perfect place for a sentiment or an image.
For my card, I decided to cover up the large heart with a heart I created with the Fringe Heart dies. I ink blended the layers in coordinating colors and then attached the heart to the center of my panel. Lastly, I used the Love Script die for my sentiment.
My next card uses the Circle Grid stencil. This stencil coordinates with the Icon stamp and die sets. The little images in the Icon sets fit perfectly into the ink blended openings. There is also a Square Grid stencil and a Diamond Grid stencil being released. I love how these stencils will coordinate with the icon sets.
I started my card by using the Circle Grid stencil to create my card panel. I again used dye ink and finger daubers for my blending. I stamped my images with the Valentine Icon set with VersaMark ink. I then heat set the images with gold embossing powder. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the Valentine Icon die set to cut them out.
Next, I used the Valentine Greetings set for my sentiment. Lastly, I attached the images and sentiment onto my panel with foam adhesive to finish my card.
Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I know you will love these new products and I can’t wait to see what you create with them!!
Hello everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the adorable Heart Balloons stamps and Upright Greetings: Valentine stamps. These new products are irresistibly sweet and heartwarming. Let’s get started!
New release will be available January 6th
My first card uses a trio of Heart Balloons, each stamped with different patterns you can find in this playful set. You’ll find hearts, polka dots, stripes, and so much more to choose from. You’ll even find a balloon outline, streamers, and sentiments in this set.
I layered my balloons over a die cut white Wonky Stitched Square that was stamped with a sentiment from the Upright Greetings: Valentine stamp set. This was then layered over a larger die cut vellum Wonky Stitched Square.
My aqua card base was cut using the darling XOXO Pierced Plate…I love this die! I then added a strip of striped patterned paper across the bottom of my card and a pink glittered border across the top of the patterned paper, die cut using the Doily Borders dies. If you love scallops and eyelets, you’ll absolutely love these dies!
I layered a tiny Heart Balloons die cut and stamped image over the new Double Heart Shaker on my next card. I created triple sentiments using one sentiment from the Heart Balloons stamp set, one from the Upright Greetings: Valentine stamp set, and the larger sentiment from the new Valentine Greetings stamp and coordinating dies set.
My background was created using the cute Circle Grid Stencil, sprayed with Distress Spray to give it a loose, watercolor look. Once again I used the Doily Borders dies to add a red glittered border across my card front.
I love the new Valentine Holder Additions dies and used the tiny flower and leaves and hearts to add extra details to my card.
These new products are so refreshing and fun to create with. I hope you enjoy creating with them too!
Hi friends, it’s Jeanne here and I’m so excited to share sneak peeks of the new Valentine Icons and Valentine Greetings stamp sets. These two sets work together perfectly and are so versatile!
New release will be available January 6th
The Valentine Icons stamp set includes 12 image stamps of traditional Valentine images including hearts, sweets, love letters and more! The coordinating die set has cuts for all of the images as well as a sweet little doily and two circle dies. This makes them easy to color, cut and then stack and arrange as you like.
I framed the stacked images with an Eyelet Rectanglethat I cut the center from with a smaller rectangle die. The pink background layer is debossed with the new XOXO Pierced Plate.
The Valentine Icons set does not include any sentiments so they’re perfect to pair with the Valentine Greetings to complete your designs. The Valentine Greetings coordinating die set fussy cuts the sentiments giving them a unique look that takes up less space than cutting with a banner or strip die so more of your design is visible.
I used a Stitched Heart placed over an Eyelet Circle to create a focal point for this card. It was easy to arrange the Valentine Icons along the edge of the circle to maintain the shape.
It doesn’t get sweeter than this! I know you’re going to love the new release!
