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!

“I love using pattern paper every now and again because it gives my projects instant detail and interest! I love how sweet the snowflakes look paired with the pink polka dots and silver embossing!”

“I love embossing sentiments on my projects but with smaller sentiments like the one I used here, they don’t always show up very well.  This is especially true when the background is a pattern or darker color.  I find that embossing the sentiment onto vellum will mute the pattern/color behind it, allowing the sentiment to fully shine.”
