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 collections we are featuring for today’s CreateAthon! Melissa Bickford and Melissa Phillips have shared their beautiful cards showcasing all the possibilities for these sets.

“I love creating colorful backgrounds for my images to sit on and the Watercolor Textures: Brushstrokes makes it so easy to do that. Creating this bold and bright striped backdrop for the black and white Many Anemones flowers really make them POP!”
“Many Anemones is such a gorgeous floral set. I love it’s versatility and simplicity. Although it looks like a complex set, the layers come together so easily and even if you don’t line each layer up precisely, it adds to the dreamy feel of the set.”
