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!

“You can turn a very summery set into a holiday card just by pairing it with some holiday themed images!  Here, I added some greenery from the Christmas Florals set to a card created with Beachy Keen for a tropical Christmas design.”

“Having grown up in New York, there’s nothing I love more than a white Christmas and the smell of a real evergreen tree.  I moved out to California in my 20’s and still remember the strangeness of my first holiday season in Southern CA–there was zero snow, it was 70 degrees outside, and every palm tree was wrapped in white string lights!  All these years later, it’s become second nature so a Christmas card featuring the palm trees of Beachy Keen is completely normal!  These ‘warm wishes’ are going out to all the folks currently experiencing freezing temperatures, which might have them considering hopping on a plane and seeking out warmer weather.”
