The holiday season is right around the corner and the team at Ink to Paper is excited to create and share projects. Fall is the season of gratitude, which leads right into the Christmas season of giving. We wanted to dedicate the month of November to a marathon of creative inspiration using our holiday themed stamps and dies. Crafting during the holiday season is very popular, and our collection of stamps and dies will surely inspire you to create along with us throughout the month.
Get ready to learn some fun facts about the company, designers, and of course amazing new ways to create cards, gift tags, and more!
Let’s take a closer look at the Christmas themed product collections we are featuring for today’s CreateAthon! Rebecca Luminarias and Melissa Phillips have created these adorable gift card holders and tags for the upcoming holidays!

Go-To Gift Card Holder: Snow Globe Dies

“Who doesn’t love cute penguins?! My nieces and nephew live on the opposite coast from us so gift cards are always my first choice when it comes to their Christmas gifts. The Snow Globe Go-To Gift Card Holder paired with that adorable penguin from Critter Carolers, plus a sentiment and some trees from Happy Happy Holidays is perfect for wrapping up gift cards for kids. I’ll probably create a few more of these and just swap out the critters and colors depending on who I’m making it for. The last time I used the Snow Globe dies, I made shaker ornaments, again pairing them with the Happy Happy Holidays phrases. HHH fit so neatly inside the globe (or ornament), and the sweet animals are a fun addition.“
“I love taking advantage of specialty cardstock and paper during the holidays because of their glitter, shimmer, and shine. These particular elements are perfect to bring out the things we associate with Christmas such as the glitter cardstock used for my ornament and the silver cardstock used for the ornament hanger.”
