Let’s meet today’s new products…
With Love at Christmas stamps & dies
There’s a beautiful new way to send your love this Christmas! The With Love at Christmas set is designed to help you create beautiful holiday cards, with an eye to a completely coordinated look, inside and out. There are elements included to embellish your envelopes – a lovely faux wax seal, and labels for both the sending and return addresses. The coordinating dies offer lots of potential for unique folds and pretty borders by using the top or bottom-only cuts for the large bouquet from the set. For even more options, combine this set with the Flappable stencil set!
This set comes on a 6″ x 8″ sheet and includes a full-color printed stamping guide.
There are several sentiments included in the set that can be combined with the “at Christmas” sentiment. They are:
warm wishes
just for you
with love
sending love
sending joy & peace

This handy die set is perfect for embellishing envelopes and more! The large label die has an optional insert for embossing lines, perfect for hand-writing addresses. The small label is a nice size for creating return address labels. These dies can be used on cards too, of course! The large scalloped label makes for a pretty layer on an A2 card, and the small label is great for adding a sentiment. The dies in this set also coordinate with the label stamps from the With Love at Christmas stamp set.

We’re kicking things off today with a couple of videos. This first video showcases the Flappable stencil set.
This next video showcases the With Love at Christmas set, and also shows how to create a tri-fold card that I’ll be sharing below!
I’m excited to share my projects with you using these new products! First up is the set of tri-fold cards I show in the video. These were so fun to put together. I used the same steps shown in the video, except I stamped multiples instead of just a single card like I show in the video. I stamped each step of the bouquet onto each white card base before changing out the stamp in my MISTI for the next step. They came together really quickly that way. I went to town with all of the different accessories from the set, along with the Addressed die set to create an entire coordinating ensemble. The labels for the envelopes were stamped and diecut using full-sheet adhesive label paper. This would be the perfect thing to wrap up for gift giving! I always give a bundle of handmade cards to my grandma, so I think these will be going to her. I think she’ll love them!
This next card set using the bouquet and the die that cuts just the top edge of the bouquet to create a gift card holder. Like I mentioned in the video, the die does not cut edge-to-edge on an A2 card allowing you to create a pocket. I just added adhesive around the edges when adhering the diecut panel to a card base, which created a nice pocket to tuck the gift card. Here I also used the Flappable stencil set to stencil the striped border along the bottom edge. I used the pretty label dies from the Addressed set – the larger one on the envelope, and the smaller one on the card front. The sentiment on the card front is from the Christmas Care-A-Van set, and the sentiment on the envelope label is from a set you’ll see more of tomorrow!
My next card uses all of the individual floral bits and pieces from the set, rather than the big multi-step bouquet. I diecut a whole pile of them and stamped them up in all kinds of colors. That is one of my favorite things to do! Here I started with a panel of watercolor paper and stamped some of the flowers directly onto the watercolor paper. I wet the paper and added some loose color, and also allowed the water to make the ink of the stamping run just a bit. Over that I layered a few of my stamped diecuts. Of course I had to finish it off with a matching envelope!
My next set of cards was more of me playing around with my pile of stamped diecuts. I realized that the Flappable stencils are fun to use with the Halfsies Diamond die. I stenciled the plaid on the top portion of my card base, then flipped it around and stenciled the bottom half. I then layered the Halfsies Diamond diecuts over the top and used the double ended banner die from the Sentiment Suite: Basics die set to cover the seam where the two plaid patterns meet. This card was so fun that I created it in two different color combos!
I really wanted to pull out the Bottled Up set again from last month and stamp some jars in pretty holiday green, so that’s what I did for this next card set! I once again used the individual bits and pieces from the With Love at Christmas set to build bouquets in the bottles. I stencils some glittery twigs in the background using the Mason Jar Fillers stencils. I just masked off part of the stencil to make the bunch of twigs narrower so it would fit in the jar.
That wraps up my projects for today, but there is still so much more! Now that you’ve gotten to meet all of today’s new products and see them in action, you can “greet” them for a chance to win a $50 gift card! Read on for details…

So beautiful and I love that the set has the 1/2 dies to the spray. Does the address label line up with a certain Avery sticker ? Or is it only the return address die?
