We are already on Day 3 of our special November Countdown and today’s products most definitely carry the warmth and coziness of Christmas magic with them. Introducing the new Christmastime stamp set and dies.
The new Christmastime stamp set reminds me of Christmases gone-by and has the feel of a Victorian holiday. I adore the look of the old-fashioned horses, tinsel tree, shiny ornaments and other sweet accents.
The new Love to Layer: Rectangles dies are a much-needed addition to the Love to Layer series. You’ll love the crisscross stitching on the larges die, the notched corners on the center die, and the embossed edges on the smallest die. I have used both largest and middle-sized rectangles on my card today.
It is so fun to pick a color scheme for your old-fashioned Christmastime stamp set and then build on it. I used painted corrugated cardstock in the background and then layered over some shimmery Scarlet Jewel cardstock. I added shabby green embossing enamel to my Christmas tree, hoping to achieve a flocked look. One of my favorite elements of this set might just be the darling porch sign that spells our “Noel.” Too much to love about this new set!
You will love what our designers have created using these new set of products. Enjoy!

I hope you’ll love the new Gingerbread House dies and Gingerbread Camper dies as much as I do. They are sweet like candy and too cute for words. Watching them come to life as you create with them is such a delight!
I chose to create with the new Gingerbread House dies for my project today. I’ve been dreaming of a Papertrey Ink gingerbread house for a long time now, and it’s been such a treat to watch it happen. This sweet house is just as whimsical and enchanting as they come. I adore the gumdrop trim and swirls of the roof and trees. The magical shape, feel, and shape of all the windows, trimmings, and accents just couldn’t be more perfect.
I die cut the main body of my house from corrugated cardstock, saved from a cardboard box. I then added a Bitty Big Pale Peony rooftop and Copic colored gumdrops for the trim. All of the accents on my house were either cut from patterned paper or from white cardstock and colored with my Copics. This makes adding color to the tiny pieces so easy. I added a bit of trim across the center of my home, in order to create a bit of frill and further the playful gingerbread house feel.
White paint was splattered across the front of my house to resemble snow and matte paste and glitter added to my roof to bring in the holiday shimmer and sparkle of snow. My sentiment across the bottom is from the Scene Everywhere: Winter stamp set and was just the perfect size and sentiment to accent my, cozy, candy house.
Enjoy the samples of both the Gingerbread House and Gingerbread Camper dies provided by our amazing Design Team. You’ll be just a smitten as I am!
