     82 Comments

Penny here again with you today and I am so excited to show off our gorgeous, new November products.   You’ll love our enchanting Winter Pine Hot Foil Plate, our special and meaningful Reflections:  November stamps with coordinating dies, and our new Build-A-Snowflake and Big Blooms:  Pretty Petals dies are out of this world amazing!

Let’s have a look at what our featured designers created for us today, starting with Melissa, shall we?

Our new Build-A-Snowflake dies are innovative, creative, and filled with hours of creativity and fun.  This set of dies allows you endless options to create your own unique snowflakes, large and small.  You’ll find a huge variety of different spokes and centers for your snowflakes.  All you have to do is choose which dies to use, cut, and assemble.  Pair these with our lovely Build-A-Snowflake stencils and you’ll create absolute magic in no time at all!

Melissa has used 5 different dies to create her beautiful, large snowflake and has allowed it to take center stage.  You’ll find that no two snowflakes are the same!  She’s used the Reflections:  November frame around her snowflake and added in a sentiment from the This is Big  Sentiments:  Snow stamps and dies.  Truly “Snow” much fun in every way!

TIPS:

  • Use dimensional adhesive between each layer of your snowflake to create the most beautiful depth and dimension.
  • Create each layer of your snowflake to be a different color to add personality and interest.  Melissa has ink blended Aqua Mist on her center layer and Hibiscus Burst on her second layer, leaving her top and bottom layers in white.

SUPPLY LIST:

STAMPS:  This is Big Sentiments:  Snow

INK:  Hawaiian Shore, Aqua Mist, Hibiscus Burst, Olive Twist, Green Parakeet

PAPER:  Stamper’s Select White, Sheer Basics Vellum

DIES:  Build-A-Snowflake, This is Big Sentiments:  Snow, Love to Layer:  Ovals, Reflections:  November, Build-A-Stocking

Are you ready for a new Big Blooms?  We have got the most incredible new set that you’ll want to use all year round!  Introducing the Big Blooms:  Pretty Petals dies. The layers are endless allowing you to create flowers from large to small.  Add color through ink blending, Distress Sprays, colored cardstock, vellum, patterned paper, felt, and more. You’ll love building your blooms and finishing them off with the gorgeous leaves included in the set.

Notice how Melissa used assorted patterned paper to die cut her Big Blooms.  Using patterned paper packs a quick but powerful punch and creates unforgettable flowers.  She’s framed in her sentiment using our new Reflections:  November die…a must have for sure!  You’ll absolutely love what our designers have done with these new supplies.

TIPS:

  • Create dimension to your petals by using dimensional adhesive between some layers and gently bending the petals upwards.
  • Mix and match patterned paper for your flowers and leaves.  This is such a fun way to use up paper scraps and instantly adds added personality.

SUPPLY LIST:

STAMPS:  Just Sentiments:  Warmth Mini

INK:  Olive Twist

PAPER:  Kraft

DIES:  Big Blooms:  Pretty Petals, Reflections:  November

OTHER:  patterned paper, gold paint, trim, adhesive gems

 

Our new Reflections:  November stamps and dies are just magical and so special for this time of year.  Nina has created the most beautiful card using these new products that celebrate the birth of our Savior.

I love how Nina used our new Winter Pines Hot Foil Plate and the frame from our Reflections:  November to frame in her scripture.  You’ll love selecting which color of foil to use on your specific color of cardstock.  Try mixing it up by using new color combinations, just as Nina has done here.

TIPS:

  • To make this card easier to mass produce, do not add the ribbon. The gold background and notched rectangular die allow you to make simple yet elegant cards.
  • If you do add the ribbon, adhere it with ScorTape for easy and secure placement on your card.  Add a dab of clear glue on the twine knot to secure it.  Keep in mind you may need to use extra stamps to mail something that’s not flat.

STAMPS: Reflections: November

INK: True Black

PAPER:  Stamper’s Select White, Enchanted Evening

DIES: Reflections: November

HOT FOIL PLATE:  Winter Pines

OTHER: Enchanted Evening saddle-stitch ribbon, gold foil, gold jingle bell
