Welcome to Day 1 of our February Release! This month is full of all things “Spring”…Easter eggs and baskets, flowers, eggs, chicks, and so much more. Let’s get our first day started off with our new Weave a Basket dies and Grassy Edge dies. You’ll fall head over heels!
The Weave a Basket dies come complete with the basket and woven strips so you can weave multiple colors into your Easter basket. You’ll also find tiny eggs in dots, stripes, and solid. The layered bow might just be my favorite element in this whole set. I love how round and full it appears. A few of our designers used the separated bow die cuts as flowers instead of a bow and they look adorable!
This die set also includes the cutest, wavy grass that is just the right size to use as filler to your basket. I’ve used the darling new Spring Greetings stamp set to create a tag for my tiny Easter basket. This new set is full of the cutest, most playful spring greetings. There are lots of sentiments to choose from and they’re just the right size for cards and tags.
Across the bottom of my card I used our new Grassy Edge die….I LOVE this! I created a double layer of grass, cutting it from Bitty Big Simply Chartreuse paper. There are so many fun things to look forward to with these new products. They truly are irresistible!
Sit back and enjoy the incredibly cute projects our designers have ready to share with you.

As promised, I mentioned a new floral set for our February Release. The new Thank You Florals stamp set and dies are whimsical and charming and bursting with creativity.
My darling Thank You Florals are nestled inside our new Vase Collection 7. Don’t you love the shabby, weathered, farmhouse feel of this new container?
I colored my flowers by stamping in watermark ink, followed by white embossing powder and my heat tool. I then added watercolor makers and a water brush to activate the colors and allow then to start blending. I adore this new set of florals!
Behind my flowers you’ll notice our new Delicate Circles dies. Isn’t it beautiful and so intricate? It creates such a lovely base layer or focal point. The inspiration behind this lovely die was a large, woven, decorative rug. I love seeing it cross over into our creative world of stamping and die cutting.
Follow along to be inspired by our designers and their amazing projects. Happy Wednesday!
