Sneak Peek Day 3
Penny here! We have officially hit the halfway point of our May Release Countdown, and the creative energy is off the charts! Welcome back to Day 3. If you’ve been looking for the perfect mix of sweet, sun-drenched summer nostalgia and beautifully uplifting, grounding projects, today’s line up is going to steal your heart.
We are splitting today’s spotlight between delicious, interactive warm-weather treats that will have you longing for backyard barbecues, and an absolutely stunning faith-based addition designed to offer peace, grace, and encouragement.
Let’s dive straight into the magic making its debut today!
Sweet Americana Die
Serve up a delicious slice of summer crafting! This festive die collection allows you to build a mouthwatering spread of classic warm-weather treats. Piece together a detailed slice of watermelon, a charming home-baked pie with a crimping crust, a nostalgia-packed layered rocket popsicle, or a towering ice cream cone complete with a textured waffle cone background, melted hot fudge, and tiny star sprinkles. It’s the perfect, playful companion for creating cheerful summer birthday cards, backyard BBQ invitations, and festive patriotic layouts.
Sweet Americana Stencil Collection
Take the guesswork out of adding color to your summer treats! This clever multi-part stencil collection is designed to work hand-in-hand with the Sweet Americana Die collection to add fast, beautiful patterns and rich shading. Easily blend perfect picnic-style gingham or patriotic stars onto your pie tins, paint bold stripes on your rocket popsicles, or layer crisp seeds onto a fresh watermelon slice. It’s the ultimate way to bring stunning depth and effortless style to your favorite warm-weather designs!
Reflections: Psalm 46 Stamp Set & Dies
Bring comfort, strength, and elegant framing to your faith-based projects! This beautiful set features the inspiring words of Psalm 46:5 rendered in a breathtaking mix of timeless block fonts and fluid, elegant script. The collection includes a precise outline die to cut the styled quote out perfectly, alongside a stunning set of nested, ornate frame dies finished with a delicate stitched border pattern. It’s a wonderful choice for creating encouraging cards, confirmation gifts, and meaningful scripture scrapbook layouts.
Get ready to feel incredibly inspired! Our design team has taken today’s eclectic mix of sweet treats and elegant scriptures and turned them into absolute showstoppers. From bright, punchy summer layouts to serene, ink-blended faith cards, their projects showcase the absolute limit of what these sets can do.
