It’s our final day of the October Countdown and it’s certainly been a treat to have you join us. Today’s products are so special and will wrap up our release perfectly! Introducing the new Larger Than Life: Believe die, Larger Than Life: Sentiments stamp set, and Wonderful Wreaths stamps and dies.
My first card today uses the new Cornered: Snowflakes across the top and bottom of my card, cut from white cardstock and layered over a True Black background. These dies remind me of the lovely Nordic pattern that is so popular for Christmas. The new Larger Than Life: Believe die is such a gorgeous, script, and looks beautiful cut from a variety of mediums. I cut mine from gold, glitter cardstock, but think patterned paper, felt, vellum, cardstock, and other elements would look amazing too.
I adore the new Wonderful Wreaths stamp set and dies and added it to the center of my card, over a Love to Layer: Scalloped Circles vellum die cut. The Wonderful Wreaths set comes with three wreath bases, each different. Choose from twig, floral, and more of a solid greenery look. Then fill in around your wreath using different elements from the set. There are flowers, leaves, berries, pine sprigs, and more.
I finished the inside of my card by carrying over elements from the outside. My sentiment is from the Larger Than Life: Believe Sentiments stamp set and is surrounded by images from the Wonderful Wreaths stamps and dies.

TIPS:
- Layer at least two or 3 die cuts of the large Believe sentiment. It makes it sturdier and adds dimension.
- Mix new sentiments with older stamp sets and the possibilities are endless!
TIPS:
- To give a “lights on” look, color blend yellow ink on a lighter weight paper to place behind each house.
- Add some glitter to replicate snow on the pine trees.
- Hot foil the sky with some fanciful snowflakes.
TIPS:
- Add splatters of water to the leaves and gold to the flowers to add an element of texture.
- Use foam dots to pop up some of the gardenia petals.
- Stencils are a quick way to create an awesome patterned background. Coordinate ink color with the base panel.
Lastly, I am so excited to share with you the new Winter Globes dies. They are so endearing and perfect for the holidays. They come in a variety of three different themes that can be used separately or combined together. Let’s jump right in.
The Winter Globes dies create the main snow globe shape you’ll need to create any number of separate globes. This comes with a “Peace” die cut sentiment, aspen trees, snowdrift, cardinal, and deer to embellish the inside of your globe. I created a woodgrain snow globe look by sponging Fine Linen ink over my die cut globe and then stamping with the Weathered Wood Background stamp and love how it turned out.
The Winter Globes: Believe dies are what I used on my card, complete with reindeer dancing across a starry sky, snow covered housetop, snowdrift, and trees. I added in die cut snowflakes which are from the Winter Globes: Let it Snow dies. This set comes with a snowdrift, snowflakes, a “Joy” sentiment and “Let it Snow” sentiment.
My sentiment across the bottom of my globe comes from the new Winter Globe Sentiments stamp set. This set is full of the sweetest and most festive sentiments that you’ll absolutely love. They’re perfect for not only the Winter Globes dies, but are general enough that you can use them combined with other sets.
