New Release Hop Day 3 - Group Post Day!

Hello again! Welcome to our third and final hop day this week - Group Post Day! Today our entire team is posting with projects using this week's new release goodies. I'm so excited to see what every one's made.

If by chance you are just joining us today we released some pretty stellar items this week :) I invite you to check out Monday's post HERE, but here is a very brief recap....

This set is a MUST HAVE. The FONT makes this set ROCK! I love it love it love it! And you will too. It's a 3x4 set but packed with fantastic Winter and holiday sentiments!

 
Oh stitched snowflakes I bow to thee!! I'm not kidding...I love these guys! This is a wired set of 4 dies and the 2 largest snowflakes in the set feature our signature stitching detail. They are just so striking!

 
Our new Stitched Mats: Squares will rock your world! You will wonder where they've been all your life! They are a follow up release to our equally amazing Stitched Mats: Rectangles. Our signature stitching on these dies has breathed new life into ordinary, plain nesting dies!
 
Just like our Rectangles, the largest square in this set ONLY cuts a stitched border on a pre-made card base. This is so your card bases will have this fantastic detail and you don't have to waste paper with unnecessary layering! It's the BOMB. Trust me.



We had so much fun last release featuring a paper pad from Echo Park to coordinate with our new goodies that we decided to do it again! This is a gorgeous paper pad coordinated beautifully with our snowflakes and squares and it's a steal at only $5.75. We have a limited supply so snap them up while you can!
 
Ok, so I have a couple of projects to share with you today as well! Have a looksie...
 
Here is a really simple tag I made. I found the tag on my mess of a desk already made so I couldn't resist! I added my snowflake in silver glitter paper and embellished its center with an adhesive rhinestone and stamped my sentiment from our new Winter Greetings beneath it. I then finished off the top with some cherry seam binding and some twine and a button.
 
 
Then I made this little treat holder! I pre cut my 5.25 x5.25 card base and stitched a border using the largest die in the Stitched Mats: Squares set. Then I cut a piece of decorative paper from the Winter Wishes pad and layered it over the base and then punched a slot through the top of my card. I thought I would make a gift card holder so I cut a small stitched rectangle stamped some snowflakes in white ink from our Winter Greetings set and then the sentiment in black adding in another glitter snowflake with an embellished center. I adhered it to the card making it a pocket for my gift card by only putting adhesive on three sides and just slipped it right in. I thought it was sort of boring as a card, so...........

I attached a piece to the bottom making it a treat holder and inside I added chocolate covered espresso beans!

 
 Here is a close up of the gift card pocket. See how pretty the small snowflake stamps are in this set?

 
Ok, so I' going to remind you that we are picking a winner from a secret prize blog to receive a $10 store credit so please leave some love along your hop today!

Everything released this week is still available in the store with the Snowflakes and Winter Greetings stamps now in limited quantity. We restocked our Coffee Cozy Set and our Flags & Tags Set this week so if you've been waiting on those they're back and ALSO back are our Stitched Mats: Rectangles! Yay!!

Thank you so much for joining us today. I hope you've enjoyed this week's release and will enjoy the rest of our hop today. Head on over now to the amazing Sarah Jay at Criminal Grace who should just don her super hero cape and make it official because while she's in the middle of a major move from New Hampshire to California has STILL found time to schedule a post for today! Amazing!

I will be back SOON for a hop recap post and to annouce our hop prize winner!
