Grab your favorite iced drink and get comfortable, because we are hitting the ground running with a spectacular collection that is absolutely bursting with sunny, adventurous energy. Whether you are document-keeping your favorite summer vacations, crafting for the jet-setters in your life, or simply looking to bring a vibrant tropical vibe to your stamping desk, today’s reveals have you covered.

 

Let’s unpack today’s incredible new arrivals:

 

This is Big Sentiments: Hello Stamp Set & Die

Say hello in a big, beautiful way! This essential set features two large-scale focal greetings—one an elegant script and the other a bold block font. Paired with a generous lineup of mix-and-match sub-sentiments, it’s perfect for birthdays, new babies, and everyday check-ins. Use the precise coordinating dies to cut out the script greeting or create a stunning layered shadow effect.

 

Destination Sentiments Stamp Set & Die

Pack your bags for a creative adventure! This travel-inspired sentiment collection features a beautiful mix of modern typography and elegant scripts highlighting popular global destinations and uplifting travel quotes. It is perfect for scrapbooking vacation memories, celebrating a graduate, or sending cardmaker love to a jet-setter. Use the coordinating wafer-thin dies to easily pop them off your pages.

 

Build-A-Luggage Tag Die

Craft your way across the globe! This detailed, interactive die set allows you to construct highly realistic luggage tags from scratch. It features multiple layering options, detailed stitched window frames, a nested address card insert, and tiny strap-and-buckle elements. Use it to build customized, high-dimension accents for cards, travel logs, and gift tags.

 

Love to Layer: Ticket Die

Admit one to a world of creative possibilities! This set features three nesting, beautifully proportioned ticket-shaped dies with a nostalgic vintage flair. Complete with classic notched corners and realistic perforated scalloped edges, these layers stack beautifully to make the ultimate, unexpected backdrop for bold sentiments and celebration layouts.

 

Wild Arrows Press Plate

Point your creativity in the right direction! This stunning letterpress plate features a clean rectangular border composed of rustic bohemian arrows with intricate feather fletching. It presses a deep, luxurious textured impression directly into your cardstock, creating a perfect ready-made frame for your favorite sentiments, masculine cards, or travel designs.

 

Postage Stencil Collection

Deliver a touch of nostalgic charm with this 6-piece blending system! Easily ink-blend a gorgeous, full-card vintage collage of faux postage stamps, wavy cancellation lines, and postmarks. The set includes coordinating layers to fill your stamped frames with charming floral elements and leafy sprigs, letting you customize your mail art in endless color combinations.

 

Air Mail Stencil Collection

Send your creative greetings first class! This wonderful stencil set features a clever layering design that replicates an authentic, vintage aviation postmark. With dedicated templates for a serrated postage frame, an airplane silhouette, wavy cancellation lines, and “Air Mail / Par Avion” text, you can seamlessly blend realistic postal markings onto your envelopes and layouts.

 

Build-A-Luggage Tag Stencil Collection

Dress up your travel gear with quick, vibrant backgrounds! This set features three distinct patterns—a sharp geometric triangle quilt, a playful dotted texture, and clean horizontal stripes—all perfectly masked into the silhouette of a classic luggage tag. It makes adding personality to your interactive card elements effortless and mess-free.

 

Into the Blooms: Mixed Bouquet Die

Bring the beauty of a freshly picked garden arrangement straight to your crafting table! This die collection features a gorgeous assortment of flower heads, multi-part petals, realistic centers, and texturized foliage branches. Mix, match, and layer the pieces to build custom, high-dimension floral bouquets that add a lush pop of summer color to any project.

 

Build-A-Pineapple Die

Serve up the ultimate taste of paradise! This massive tropical set lets you build a full-sized pineapple complete with textured diamond overlays and a spiky leafy crown—or hollow it out to craft a festive tropical cocktail bowl! It’s packed with an incredible menu of mix-and-match drink garnishes, including a cocktail umbrella, scoops of sorbet, fruit slices, a bendy straw, and a flamingo topper.

 

Get ready to be inspired! Our incredible design team has spent weeks playing with these new arrivals, and they have pulled out all the stops for Day 1. From weathered, vintage passport-style card layouts to bright, tropical cocktail party invites, they are showing you exactly how to stretch these sets for maximum fun.
