This month, we're thrilled to introduce our incredible new Folk Art collection - featuring stencils, dies, and foiling plates! If you loved our Christmas Postage stencil, you'll be delighted to discover that the cute reindeer is now available as a full-size die! Isn't it absolutely adorable?



The matching die for the Folk Art Stencil offers versatile cutting options! You can create the full thin frame (as seen above) or go for the inner and outer frames (as shown below). For my second card I used new Christmas critters Stamp set called Under the Tree Stamp Set


The  works with the foil Folk Art Frame Foil Plate. You can skip the last layer of the Folk Art stencil and use the foil plate to add extra shiene to your card.

 

The Folk Art Frame Matching Die is designed to perfectly complement the Folk Art Frame Foil Plate. Here's a handy tip: You can omit the final layer of the Folk Art stencil and utilize the foil plate to add an extra layer of shimmer to your card.


For this card, I incorporated the exquisite Layered Ornament Die from last year's enchanting Christmas collection. 



I adore experimenting with non-traditional colors for my Christmas cards! This time, I opted for a stunning combination of blue and orange inks. The focal point features the Folk Art Framed Bird Stencil, accompanied by a small sentiment stamp from the Holiday Cheer Sentimentscollection. To add a finishing touch, the oval dies from the Folk Art Bird Di set flawlessly cut out the inner opening in the foiled oval.


And here is a card made with Folk Art stencils only. I cut out the central oval pieace using on of dies from Folk Art Bird Die. 


Don't miss the festive detail in the  Folk Art Frame Foil Plate  - a charming Christmas tree design! It pairs perfectly with the matching stencils and Folk Art Tree Die for crafting holiday magic.


You can use the Folk Art Tree Die as-is, without stenciling. Simply cut it out from pattern paper and add glitter paper for extra flair. Also, I cut out the card panel from light pink cardstock using the  Folk Art Background Die, then colored it with a blend of pink and white pigment inks.


Adding to the fun, there's thePop-up Tree Die! I paired it with the matching stencil, applying light blue ink through the first layer and white glitter paste through the second stencil for a whimsical touch.


Last but certainly not least, a super adorable and cheerful Christmas card featuring the Doodled Chevron Foil Plate,  Two-step Chevron Stencil Trio, and the Folk Art Floral Die. I used Opal (half-transparent) foil to foil the pattern and then added pink and green ink through one of the Chevron stencils over the foiled design.

or a double-color pattern, just flip over the Chevron stencil.

This month we have a lot of "sweet products" as well as Tropical kit dies , and stamp set - Tropical Sentiments Stamp Set,  which are now available for individual purchase. 

For my first card, I used the Tropical kit die. I cut out a parrot and leaves from colorful cardstock, arranging them together. I added flair by hot foiling the card panel with the Splatters Foil Plate and Spellbinders Glimmer Foil Prism. To amp up the charm, I included a tiny strawberry using the Fruity Icons Die, held by the parrot. A fitting sentiment from the Fruity Stamp Set tied it all together.


You can create another delightful summer card using the Doodle Print Stencil and the previously released Orchid Flower Die set. I have a soft spot for tropical-themed birthday cards myself :)



And here is a card with a foil version of Doodle Print pattern. I used a Doodle Print Foil Plate with gold foil over the orange cardstock and added brown ink on the edges of the card panel.


We've given a fresh update to our well-loved Duo-tone Tropical Leaves Stencil and even introduced a matching panel die for it - Pop-up Tropical Leaves Texture Die

For my next card I used green ink and gold glitter paste to decorated the die cut leaves. I added a mat gold cardstock underneath, which becomes visible when the leaves are slightly raised.



  I used the stencil alone to make charming flat card backgrounds. With blue inks, I created a lovely backdrop for a chocolate cake. The Stacking Cake Die helped me to create the cake, which I colored with Distress inks. For an extra touch, I added cute strawberry die-cuts to decorate the cake.


The small strawberry die is incredibly versatile, allowing you to craft an entire fruit cake with ease.


The Stacking Cake Die works with Inside Pop-up Stacks die and I made a dimensional anniversary cake inside of my next card.

I added cute birds from Jungle Party Combo and stamped a sentiemnt from Happy Anniversary Duo Stamp Set


With rhose cute little critters - Jungle Party Combo  I made another summer card.


Now, let's dive into the realm of the sweetest and juiciest cards! Using the Fruity Icons Die, I cut out petite fruits from vibrant cardstock and added a touch of color using alcohol-based Copic markers. To convey the sentiment, I used the Oversized Sweet Word Die and gold mirror cardstock. Elevating the elegance, I hot foiled the card panel with the Splatters Foil Plate.


I used the leftover fruit die cuts from the first card for creating another fruity card background.


Also we have new fun stencils for creating oversized fruits on the card or full fruit cards - Oversized Fruit Stencil! 


The matching sentiments are super fun! For both of my cards I used a Fruit Sentiments Stamp Set.

This month I want to present to you my new series called Postage collage! The Postage Collage Die leaves the 6 stamps connected on 1 panel. You can easily trim them into individual pieces to create your own collage. With coordinating stencils you can decorate each of the stamps.

For my firsst card I used Postage Collage Die with Postage Collage Coloring Stencil. I made cuts on 2 stamps to separate them a bit. I stamped more images over the die cut using Postage Collage Stamp Set and black ink. 



Also, you can use only one stencil from the set Postage Collage Coloring Stencil to color the card panel with inks or other mediums as I did on my next card. After I applied inks theorith stencil I stamped flowers over the stencil and heat embossed them with white powder. 


Another fun coordinating stencil is - Postage Collage Everyday Stencil. I used distress inks over the grey color paper die cut. In the Postage Collage Die set you will find a few additional small stamp dies. I decorated my card with two of them.


And here is a Christmas version of the Postage collage :) I made my next cards using Postage Collage Christmas Stencils. To color the border on this card I used Postage Collage Coloring Stencil


I skipped the part with stenciling ornaments on the tree and added a small enamel dots instesd. 


I love to use my Distress inks on the colored cardstock, but you can try Distress Oxide for the more intense look. I decided to create all my Christmas cards with distress ink only :)


To add more intrerest ot this card I used a small wax seal die cut I made using Wax Seals Die


And here are a few more cards with a seoarated stamps die cuts. 



On this card I went crazy with stamping, but I like it :) 



The last layer of Postage Collage Christmas Stencils can be used with some shinny mediums as a gold glitter paste. Shinny details on the Christmas cards look amazing! 



And this month we have a new dog die in our big cute critter familly :) - Be a Dog Die. I added a cute Santa costume using Be Christmas Accessories Die


I have a cat version too! :) I applied pink distress inks throutgh the Cloudy Stencil on a pink cardstock to create a cute scene for the cat.



Thanks foe stopping by!
