Penny here! Welcome to Day 1 of our August Release Countdown! We are jumping straight into autumn and Halloween crafting with a fantastic mix of spooky treats, cozy harvest textures, and versatile focal pieces. From oversized statement sentiments and gothic silhouette frames to layered orchard branches, tailored press plate backdrops, and an enchanting potion bookcase, today’s new reveals offer endless creative possibilities!

 

Settle in with a warm cup of coffee or tea as we showcase everything making its debut today. Whether you’re assembling favor tags for a Halloween party, sending crisp autumn greetings, or building detailed witchy displays, these fresh additions are sure to spark your imagination.

 

Let’s dive into today’s exciting new lineup:

 

This is Big Sentiments: Halloween Stamp Set & Die

Make your spooky cards pop with oversized focal words—”Halloween,” “Spooky,” and “Boo”—in stylish serif and script fonts! Complete with an abundance of companion sub-sentiments ranging from cute puns to sweet autumn greetings, you can easily mix and match custom messages for all your trick-or-treaters and party invites. Pair them with the coordinating dies for effortless, high-impact dimension!

 

Halloween Silhouettes Stamp Set & Die

Design elegant, vintage-inspired scenes with an ornate gothic frame complete with skull and celestial accents. Built to house classic solid silhouettes—like flying witches, haunted mansions, and glowing jack-o’-lanterns—this set makes it simple to compose atmospheric, framed vignettes for all your Halloween cards and tags.

 

Love to Layer: A Little Loopy Die

Frame your scenes with playful elegance! This versatile nesting die set features detailed rectangular frames trimmed with whimsical, looping scalloped borders. Perfectly sized for stacking, these graduated dies bring soft borders, textured layering, and instant depth to any card front year-round.

 

Into the Blooms: Apples Die

Bring apple orchard charm to your crafting desk with this detailed dimensional die set! Designed for effortless layer-by-layer assembly, you can piece together plump apples, wooden branches, leafy sprigs, and delicate blossoms to build realistic harvest arrangements bursting with autumn color.

 

Houndstooth Press Plate

Press timeless, high-end texture directly into your cardstock! Designed for letterpress systems like the BetterPress, this full-coverage houndstooth pattern adds a crisp, tailored fabric look to your card backgrounds in a single pass.

 

Harvest Medley Stencil Collection

Blend vibrant, full-card autumn backgrounds in minutes! This multi-step layering stencil set guides you through building a festive frame complete with central pumpkins, rustic stems, trailing foliage, berry sprigs, and soft seasonal floral accents.

 

VIP Ticket Collection: Halloween Stamp Set

Punch your ticket to a spooktacular celebration! Featuring event headers like “Ghoul’s Night” and “Witch’s Brew,” plus distressed barcodes, web corners, and bat borders, this set adds a fun, interactive admission ticket element to treat bags, party invites, and memory keeping.

 

Bewitching Bookcase Stamp Set & Die

Build your own magical apothecary hutch! This set features an ornate vintage cabinet ready to be filled with mini spell books, potion bottles, glowing jack-o’-lanterns, skull cloches, and witch hats. Top it off with a festive “Happy Halloween” pennant banner and use the coordinating dies for incredible layered depth!
