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! Laurie Schmidlin and Melissa Phillips have shared these beautiful cards to spread the Christmas cheer.
Cheerful Tree Stamps + Dies

Framing Florals Christmas Stamps + Dies

“I love the look of a stenciled background but sometimes I want a bolder look. I decided to try embossing with it and really love the look! I combined the gorgeous tree from Cheerful Tree and the sentiment frame from Framing Florals: Christmas.”
“Instead of layering my flowers on top of my wreath from the Framing Florals: Christmas stamp set, I layered them underneath. I love how the flowers bring out the colorful colors of Christmas from beneath the wreath, while the soft white embossing of the wreath, highlights it as well.”
PRIZE
During Holiday CreateAthon, we are offering a weekly $100 Ink to Paper Gift Certificate!
