Are you ready for our September Grand Finale? You are in for such a treat as we introduce you to our new North Pole Mail stamps and dies, Candy Cane Frame Post Card, Postage Stamp Frame Post Card, and Build-A-Stocking dies.
Sit back, turn on some Christmas music, and enjoy what our designers have prepared just for you! We’ll start with Brenda showcasing our darling North Pole Mail stamps and dies.
Polka dots, Santa, and postage frames…what could be cuter together? I love this pocket card our designer Brenda created using our fabulous, new products. Create your own stationery, just for Santa, using our North Pole Mail stamps and dies. Do you love to color in your images? If so, this set is perfect for you! Not a fan of coloring? This set is perfect for you too! Every last detail has been perfectly thought out, from the postage stripes, to the postage stamps, the Santa belt and gold buckle, to the wide variety of sentiments included…you’ll have a hard time selecting which sentiment you’d like to use!
Brenda created a pocket using the mid-size North Pole Mail Postage Stamp Frames die. She then tucked a note for Santa inside, using our Love to Layer: Notebook paper. What a perfectly executed idea! And don’t you love that delightfully bold Santa belt that extends across the front of her card? Her card base was created using our North Pole Mail Candy Cane Frames die, which also comes in three different sizes and has the most perfect embossed candy cane stripes around the edges. You’ll love having these in your crafting stash. Brenda is a pro at coloring and her Santa image is absolutely perfect and cheery in every way, don’t you think? This may be my most favorite card ever!
TIPS:
- Use colors found in the patterned paper to help determine color combinations for your project.
- Repeat colors at least twice to create a cohesive feel.
- Apply adhesive only along edges of one layer to create a pocket.
- Use older products in your stash to reinforce the theme, just as Brenda has done here using the Love to Layer: Notebook die to create a note.

Our final set of new products are our Build-A-Stocking dies, complete with all of the trimmings and fillings you’ll need to stuff your handmade Christmas stocking. You’ll find ornaments, gifts, a tiny envelope, snowman, Christmas tree, bows, berries, and greenery to create the cutest stocking hanging from the mantel!
Our designer Leanne has filled her stocking full of die cut candy canes, a snowman, greenery, an ornament, and more. Isn’t it amazing to see all of the fun and creative things you can do with die cuts? They are certainly a great addition to your craft room, and these stockings are a must-have. Imagine creating gift tags or ornaments using these…the possibilities are truly endless.
TIPS:
- Create simple, brown paper packages by die cutting them from Kraft cardstock with Pure Poppy bows.
- Add subtle ink blending behind your stocking in a soft, coordinating color. This helps your stocking and fillings stand out from the background.
- Stamp your sentiment directly to your stocking. It provides the perfect place for a holiday greeting!
