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.
