September New Release Hop Day 2

Hi there, crafty friends!! Did you enjoy yesterday's post?

I'm excited to be here again today with a small new release for you and more new projects I made.

Read if you'd like to :
  • see our new products
  • learn how you can win an awesome blog hop prize
  • read about receiving a FREE item with any purchase 9/25 and 9/26 only!







Here is another look at our Spooky Word Die Large! and now it compares to our original version of our Spooky Word Die. I can't imaging you NOT having these dies in your collection if you enjoy crafting for Halloween! Our new Spooky Word Die Large is perfectly oversized where it can be used solely as a focal image. You'll enjoy using sentiment in your collection to create phrasings with it as well. Our new large die measures  3 7/8" w x 7/8" h and above you'll see a great photo comparison between the two different sizes.

Next up is a brand new die that I compelled to design for you. You might say that this release is totally spooky! It's our new Spooky Script Word Die!

I repeated my favorite Halloween word but in a script font and I used different, but still, spooky eyes that I thought were a better match and I LOVE the results!! The size is 3 13/16" w x 2 1/4" h so it's perfectly oversize for all your card fronts! I don't think this one is going to last and I have a limited quantity so if you really love this, I wouldn't wait!


I recently redesigned our Bats and Broomsticks Die Set this year and I want to tell you all about it.


The witch die in terms of style and size is unchanged and that means she still coordinates with your Bats and Broomsticks Stamp Set as well as with the witch image in our Seen On Halloween Stamps. What's great about this die now is that she's been etched out in the center for die to stamp alignment. We also removed the registration marks that were in the original die set so now the witch can be used to create a shaker or just as a window to the inside of your card.  We've also updated the bat in the die set to coordinate with our previously released Stitched Bats Dies and I have to say it's a terrific improvement! It's such a cute shape!

I have a couple of cute tags for you today that I'd like to show off.


I used more and almost ALL of my favorite Halloween papers from AGES ago from Cosmo Cricket. I need to go on to eBay and see if anyone has one of these 6x6 pads because I LOVE THESE PAPERS! Any whooooo - I started with our Anytime Tags Dies and cut my plaid paper base. Then using the same size tag die, I cut the black stars tag from a scrap I had and decided to make this into a gift card holder so they layers are adhered together on the left side only and this opens like a card. Then, I cut our new Spooky Word Die Large from blush paper and glued it to my top layer and I used a Stitched Ghost Die Cut stamped with a face from our Boo Balloons Stamp Set. Then, I dressed him up by using my Bow Die Mini and then snipping off the ends so his bow tie was the perfect size. I added the stamped phrase you see from our A Haunting We Will Go Stamp Set because this tag definitely turned out to be cuter instead of spooky - and I like that!!



Next up is a tag I made just in the spirit of Halloween and the love for coffee using supplies from Lil' Inker Designs.

I started here again with my Anytime Tags Dies which I then die cut with our Cover Up Die: Basket Weave for added texture and interested. Then, I die cut and colored the mug die from our Coffee Talk 2 Die Set with colored pencils and stamped it with a face from our Boo and Faces 2 Stamp Set so that it looked like a pumpkin! The leaves were cut from various die sets including Seen On Halloween and Thankful Thoughts, My Sentiment Flag was stamped with a small greeting from our Seen On Halloween Stamp Set. Isn't this adorable?? I love how it turned out!!!

I'd like to invite you to hop along with our Design Team so you can see what they've made with thee cute new dies. Here's a list of everyone participating in our hop today:

September New Release Blog Hop Day 1

Hi there, Crafty Friends!! How are you?

I'm excited to be here today with a small new release for you. Ready?

Read on to see :
  • our new products
  • how you can win an awesome blog hop prize
  • about receiving a FREE item with any purchase 9/25 and 9/26 only!







New to the store today is our Spooky Word Die Large! Not too long ago I did a poll on Instagram and TONS of you mentioned you wanted a larger version of our Spooky Word Die and so, voila! Here it is! This die is so fun for Halloween paper crafting and you'll love working with it in its new size. It's perfectly large where it can be used solely as a focal image. You'll enjoy using sentiment in your collection to create phrasings with it as well. Our new large die measures  3 7/8" w x 7/8" h and above you'll see a great photo comparison between the two different sizes.

Next up is a brand new die that I literally couldn't resist designing for you. You might say that this release is totally spooky! It's our new Spooky Script Word Die!

I repeated my favorite Halloween word but in a script font and I used different, but still, spooky eyes that I thought were a better match and I LOVE the results!! The size is 3 13/16" w x 2 1/4" h so it's perfectly oversize for all your card fronts!

It's such a cute shape!

I have a couple of projects for you today that I'd like to show off.


Here's a card I made with the new Spooky Script Word Die. You can see that it's a perfect focal point size and it's as cute as it is spooky! It's seen here with my coveted / hoarded Cosmo Cricket papers from AGES AGO. It's my favorite of all time! I also used my Ghost Border Die Set, Boo and Faces 2 Stamps and Bats and Broomsticks Stamps. Isn't' this cute??


Here, I used our Bats and Broomsticks Die Set. See those cute little bats? I love them! I kept this simple by using a grey square base and one of the Silly Stitched Circle Dies from the Silly Stitched Die Set. I did some sponging on the inside of my card on white stock using Distress Oxide Inks and created a pretty night sky. I love how this turned out. The black sparkly paper I used for my witch and one bat really add a special element.

We hope that will keep you creating with our products and keep you sharing your creations.

Here's this month's sampling of awesome creations! 

First up, is a stunning card from Viola, @papiersucht.


The background on this card is just fabulous and I love all the little details from the grid to the striped black and white strip. There are so many things for the eye to see but the thing that really makes my heart smile is the adorable kitty from Cat Treats Stamps cut with the Cat Treats Dies. I also love the sentiment scattered all around the card. So cute!

This card from Kristina, @kristina_craftypaws, uses a product that is an oldie but goodie.


I just love this card using our  Quick Notes Star Fold Out Die. I love how she made this look like a shooting star on the card front. Throw in some rainbow stripes and I am over the moon in love or maybe over the stars. ;)

Next up, is a pretty card from Mika, @mikagiddings.


I love the simple watercolor background. The colors are beautiful and perfect for making the Happy Birthday To You Word Die pop. It is simple and gorgeous. I'm so happy you shared it, Mika.

I love this card from Mimi, @mimizitrone.


I just love how the colors on our Blossoms & Banners Stamps pop on this card. The white on white texture is great and cutting the image with Blossoms & Banners Dies and popping it up on a cute scalloped circle is the perfect with to make it stand out. Love!

The final card today from Nicole, @fam.ligaard.

 

We all know I can't resist a cute coffee card and there is nothing cuter than our
Super Coffee Die & Stamp Bundle. I love the kraft and black on this card and our super mug is looking extra super with Nicole's awesome coloring. It's amazing!

Long Awaited RESTOCK!!!

Hi there, crafty friends!!!

I'm here to let you know that I just received a couple of items that I've restocked in the store and I think it's going to make some of your extremely happy!!

I've received a billion inquiries and I'm happy to write that Mr. Brown (UPS) had a terrific delivery for me last night!


Our Mitten Shaker Die Set and Ready, Set, Snow Stamps have just been restocked in the store!
These were both incredibly popular releases last year and I'm delighted to have been able to get them back for you and in time for your 2019 Holiday project making.

If you are not already familiar with these items, here are a couple of things the team made with them when they were released last year.












These are such wonderful stamps and dies! As you can see in the photos, there are many ways to use the mittens. They can be made into a shaker. The largest mitten can be used as a focal point on a card and makes a great tag. There's also a small mitten which can be used in so many different ways as well! Most of the stamps in the Ready, Set, Snow Set can be stamped right onto the largest mitten.

I have more for you today! Ready?



Our Leafy Greetings Stamps which coordinate with our Leaf Love Dies have just been restocked!!! These lovely greetings stamp to fit on the coordinating leaves in the die set and they're just so beautiful! Here's a quick look at how these stamps fit on their coordinating leaves:


Let's have a look back at how the team used these MUST HAVE supplies:













 I also just restocked out Whoops Stamps and Whoops Word Die as I had a list of people waiting on these for a while now.

This is a terrific little stamp and die combo and perfectly used for a belated over, dare I say, forgotten birthday. It's also great for using if you need to make an apology card. Have a look.










Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today. If you're interested in any of our newly restocked items, please CLICK HERE to head on over to our store.

Thanks again and I hope you have a weekend filled with the things you love. Mine will be filled with family and coffee and TONS of work, but it doesn't feel like work when you're doing something you love!
