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! Kelly Lunceford and Melissa Phillips have made these adorable tags to go along with their gifts.

Tag Creations: Modern Gift Die
“Arranging die cut flowers and foliage is just as much fun as the real thing, just on a smaller scale! I had so much fun die cutting and arranging all of these festive berries and sprigs to create 4 gift card holders fitting for the season! A sprinkle or two of glitter really makes these die cuts shine!”
“Consider creating a card that looks like a gift by using the Modern Gift dies. Wrap up the front with the ribbon, flowers, and greenery from the die and the card is a gift in itself.”
