December New Release Blog Hop Day 1

Hieeeeee!!!! Welcome to our December New Release Blog Hop Day 1!!!!

We have a small but mighty release to share with you filled with stamps and dies that are all warm and cozy. Ready for a look?

First up is our new Comfy Cocoa Stamp Set.

This is a large, 6x8 set filled with sentiments with a cocoa and Winter theme. Each of the sentiments is designed to stamp onto the mug in our previously released Coffee Talk 2 Die Set. It also contains two really cute multi-stamp images which create an adorable deer and snowman. We also included a couple of snowflakes and a peppermint stick. They're they perfect images to turn our coffee mug into one filled with delicious hot cocoa. However, our cocoa wouldn't be complete without the following die set.

Introducing our Comfy Cocoa Die Set!

This die set contains a whipped topping, marshmallow topping, and single marshmallow die. Together with our new Comfy Cocoa Stamps, you WILL turn that coffee mug into the cutest cocoa ever. Also seen here is a die that will cut out the peppermint stick image - the prettiest cocoa accessory.

Next up is our Cover Up Die Buffalo Plaid. If you love plaid or check plaid this is the background die for you! This die will cut and stitch a pattern that suggests a check plaid. You bring it to life either by layering a second piece of cardstock underneath this or you can cut this again from a second color of paper and mix and match the pieces that cut away. Make sure to have a look at this product in our store so you can see all of the creations our team made with it.

Hands down, our new Cozy Plaid Stamps are a MUST HAVE! First, we've given you a full, A2 sized buffalo check plaid stamp which will cover your card fronts with ease. Included in the set is also a hugs word stamp and coordinating sentiments that are both fun and useful for cardmaking occasions. This set also includes the most amazing stamp of wavy lines and it can be used to make the most delicious plaid ever. I was inspired by a wallpaper I saw Joanna Gaines use on Fixer Upper! HA!!

Here we have a terrific Hugs Word Die Set which contains both the word and, what I like to call, a halo or background piece for the word. It was designed to coordinate with the phrases in the Cozy Plaid Stamp set adding even more versatility to these supplies. This die stands on its own and doesn't cut out the hugs word stamp in the set.

Up next is our Good Cheer Stamp Set!

This is a delightful little 4x4 stamp set featuring three cutie penguins and a snowman that were all hand drawn for Lil' Inker. These penguins are all dressed for winter and are having a snowball fight! Or, they can be drinking cocoa (or coffee, depending on your preference) as we've included two little mugs in the set. Also featured here is a grouping of snowflakes and a star, some of which can be stamped onto the mugs. We also have a group of three hand illustrated sentiments that are perfect for these images and so much more. I think you're going to really enjoy having this set in your collection.

Of course, we've created a set of coordinating Good Cheer Dies which will help you cut out the images in the set with precision and ease.

And that's all she wrote! A smaller release but one I really wanted to share with you now. Are you ready for some projects?

I think I'll start with my penguins first from the Good Cheer Stamps.

I started by buffing some ink onto a piece of white cardstock and when I was finished I die cut the piece I made with our Embossed Dots Tags and if you didn't know, this is my FAVORITE TAG DIE SET IN OUR ENTIRE COLLECTION!!!!  Love it! I reach for it over and over again!!!!

Then, I stamped, colored and die cut my penguins with their coordinating Good Cheer Dies and arranged them to be outside having a snowball fight. The bed of snow you see was made using one of the border dies from my Border Builders Die Set. Then, I stamped my greeting right onto my tag, added some ribbon and twine and this cute little tag was complete. 

I have one more project to share with you using this set together with some other goodies.

This time, I started with a baby blue card base which I stamped with blue ink using the scribbled lines from the Cozy Plaid Stamps and I made this terrific background. I. AM. OBSESSED. with this stamp and I can't stop using it!!!!!! Once my background was completed, I created a backdrop for the little snowman I had colored. How cute is he by the way? I did more ink blending and Border Builders Dies made my bed of snow again. In the background, you'll see I stamped some trees in white craft ink. They're from my Rustic Christmas Stamp Set. Then, I reached for a tiny greeting in our Holly Jolly Stamps to finish this off. 

One more project for you today and I love it! I hope you do too!

I started with red cardstock and stamped it with the buffalo plaid stamp from the Cozy Plaid Stamp Set in black ink. I added this piece to a white card base somewhat offset as you can see from the picture. Then, I used my Hugs Word Die Set. I cut the word in white and added it to foam for dimension. I cut the hugs base from cork paper to give it a rustic look. I added some velvet holly leaves and a button with some jute twine for a fun, holiday detail. The leaves are literally from my craft drawer and I've had them for at least 15 years. I finished off my greeting using a phrase from the Jolly & Joyful Stamp Set. I love how this turned out!!!
