This week is a fun time to share with you more of our great new Holiday Product in our July Catalog. You can buy a hard copy of our July catalog or flip through the online version by clicking on the image below.
Today we’d love to share with our new Snowmen Melt Die Set
Here are some awesome samples Fran created to showcase this set in our catalog –
Here’s a great video she made about how much fun it is to use these sweet snowmen!
Our newest die sets are super versatile sets that you’ll reach for all year round. They’re great for holiday card making, but they have some awesome elements you’ll use again and again all year! Fran made some great samples with these which are shown in the video below. And our Design Team has been playing with these and others all week. Check out their links.
First, Christmas Bright includes a couple of small clear stamps, nesting cutting die words which will look great out of your favorite paper patterns or cardstock colors, a bow to duplicate as many times as desired, and nesting ovals which will be awesome for so many everyday uses!
Our second new die set is Wings Die Set. Send holiday love to friends and relatives, then send more love all year! Great for Valentines, wedding, anniversary, or just a quick “I love you.”
Fran has had so much fun with these sets that she’s made a great, short video to share them with you! You’ll love all the inspiration, ideas, and clever tricks she’ll show you. Plus the end is full of samples from our whole team.
Here are some of Fran’s projects, there are instructions and supply lists for all of them on our website.
The Design Team has also been playing with these wonderful new die sets and our current die sets adapted for the holidays!

In Monday’s post we included the Basics Video, a really great video when starting out with the Pop Up Stages dies, and today we have two short video tutorials on how these sample cards were made!
This cheerful card with our Happy Birds Perfectly Clear Stamps Set is made with just a few supplies, and it has such an excellent pop to it!
Now it’s time to celebrate in a sweet way with our Cake Tiers Perfectly Clear Stamps Set.
We sure enjoyed introducing the new Pop Up Stages Die Set to you this week. If you loved a project you saw this week why not share it with a friend on Facebook or pin to one of your Pinterest boards to use as inspiration for your next project!

And be sure to come back next week to see our newest line of stamps from a new artist, until then have a great weekend!
Our new birds from the Cling Spring Tweets Stamp Set are chirping to pop onto a spring project and with the January catalog release, we have products to develop that creative idea!
Cling Spring Tweets Stamp Set has lovely little birds who are ready to nest amongst flowering tree branches in oodles of different arrangements and layering them is easy with the coordinating shapes in the Spring Tweets Cutting Die Set. So easy you will want to make a flock of these little darlings.
Now, to make them pop just add any combination of platforms or columns from Pop Up Stages Die Set to your background layer and voila your project has a popping effect!
On Fran’s birthday card you can see how amazing these products work together, the possibilities are endless! If you missed it, Monday’s post we shared more about the Pop Up Stages Die Cutting Set in a video so hop on over there if you’re curious for more information!
And for even more fresh and popping new project ideas stop by our designers who are posting this week!

Our new Pop Up Die Set is setting the stage for some exciting pop ups in columns and platforms! Use Pop Up Stages with any type of stamped and die cut or hand trimmed shapes like images from Family Home, Pretty Poppies, and Spring Tweets stamp sets.
Pop Up Stages dies are so versatile as separate pieces you can use a single column die to make a flower bouquet pop off the background as on Debi Hammons beautiful card here.
Using two or more column dies will create varying depths for a fun scene. Add the tab die anywhere for a popping greeting!

Are we ready for some fresh fall designs? This week our team will be sharing some of their fantastic designs like the new Build A Wreath Die Cut Set in our July catalog release. There are so many wonderful ideas with this die set! Create a fall colored wreath for place setting cards or an invitation card. It would also be a fantastic wreath around a gift bag or jar. We like Debi Hammons card that is ready for the perfect sentiment as a last minute card for any ocassion.
And another great fall image from our July catalog is Look Into My Eyes.
These eyes say so much it’s hard not to think of just fall, but for this week it would be a great peek out a leaf filled frame, or on a card for dramatic effect like this awesome design by Monika Thomas.
Now it’s time to take a look at some of our designers fresh fall projects.
