Penny here, I will be your guide as we countdown to our first Christmas and holiday release of the season and wait until you see what we have for your this month!
I have been waiting over a month to show you how our designers brought our new products to life, and I’m so excited it starts today!
Here at Papertrey Ink, it’s our passion to bring you designs that you will love creating with. If you like a more simple style, every product we release has elements that can take center stage to create a simple, yet designed, focal point.
If you like a little more detail, we pack each set with as many images as possible so you have the freedom to create exactly what you want.
Each of our newly released products can be used in many different ways to fit your particular style, and I can’t wait to show you these inspiring designs.
“You’ll love our new Christmas Laurel Hot Foil Plate. It is a simple but completely elegant design that can be used in so many ways and with so many of our Papertrey Ink products. It’s the perfect size to frame in our beautiful Christmas Your Way stamps and dies and it will even work year-round for many different occasions!”
“Notice how Betty used her Christmas Laurel Hot Foil Plate to create a lovely background, hot foiling it not just once, but twice on her white card base. And, I am over-the-top excited about our new Into the Blooms: Swag dies. This collection is full of everything you’ll need to create the perfect holiday swag. You’ll find berries, holly leaves, pine sprigs, cinnamon sticks, the most beautiful dimensional bow, and so much more. Whether you want a simple look or a more complex, layered, detailed look, this swag has you covered!”
TIPS:
- Try different colors for foliage to create fun variations
- Hot foil images twice on a panel to create a different look

“I love how Betty die cut her Christmas Laurel image into a circle and then layered it over a larger Kraft die cut circle. Doesn’t this give the look of an embroidery hoop? How fun, unexpected, and creative! Notice how she used only the holly leaves and berries from the Into the Blooms: Swag dies to create accents surrounding her sentiment. They are the perfect touch, aren’t they?”

“Betty’s final card is so simple but so beautiful! This would be so easy to mass produce for the holidays, wouldn’t it? After hot foiling her Christmas Laurel, she simply added her sentiment using our This is Big Sentiments: Ho Ho Ho, and completed her card using a gold, metallic Into the Blooms: Swag bow. Genius!”
TIPS:
- Let the foil plate with a few elements take center stage.

“Our new All Around Christmas stamp set will take you back to Christmases as a child. It is timeless and filled with nostalgia. Create a wreath or use the branches included in this beautiful set to create, wispy, enchanting accents on your cards. Then, select from mittens, reindeer, snowflakes, candy canes, a snowy pine tree, and more to create more character and personality.”
“Notice how Melissa created a wreath that goes full circle, layering it on top of the largest Love to Layer: Stitched Circle. I love that you can stamp the branches and berries separately, allowing you to mix up the color and really add a lot of detail and versatility to your images.”
“The Tiny banner included in the set, looks perfect resting at the bottom of Melissa’s wreath. There are three different sentiments to choose from that fit snug inside the banner. Aren’t the hanging mittens the sweetest? These images can be colored in, for those or you who love to color, or left in their original form. There are so many delightful possibilities waiting!”
“I think you’ll love our new Elegant Edges: Bow just as much as I do. It gracefully flows across the front of your card and adds so much dimension and detail. This is another great product to use when mass producing your Christmas cards this year, because it instantly packs a powerful punch with very little effort. All you have to add is your chosen sentiment and you have a gorgeous Christmas card created in minutes!”
TIPS:
- Add subtle personality and charm to your cards by using patterned paper on your layering pieces, just as Melissa has done here on her Love to Layer: Stitched Circles die.
- Ink blend beneath your Elegant Edges: Bow to create light and dark shades to really make your bow pop!
- Tuck die cut snowflakes under the edges of your scalloped circle to add dimension and layering and depth.
