The 2019 Holiday Collection of dies and stamps has arrived! It's a wonderful fall and winter mix of frames, snowflakes, botanicals, holiday icons and greetings. Hello, Jean Okimoto here with the first of many cards featuring our latest release.
View the collection and holiday idea books here.
Prep the delicate dies by rubbing them briskly with waxed paper scrunched into a loose wad. This makes it easier to remove the diecuts. It also makes it easier to release pinpoint and stitched dies - and detailed frames.
Cut the Sparkling Snowflake Trio from white cardstock. Cut Joy Airy Script from silver metallic cardstock - save the little piece over the "j."
Here's an easy way to attach delicate diecuts to a background. Attach Diecut 'n Bond doublestick tape to pink cardstock. Cut it with the 4" Square Basics die. Carefully attach the snowflakes and greeting to the adhesive background - save the tape liner. Use the liner to firmly press the diecuts to the background. Brush ultra-fine iridescent glitter onto the remaining exposed adhesive.
Cut three ¾" cardstock accent strips - 4-½" of Rock Candy, 3-¾" of pink and 3-¼" of Easter Grass.
Stamp the greeting - from the new Merry and Bright Mistletoe Clear Stamp Set - on smooth white cardstock using a clean VersaMark inkpad. Emboss it with detail clear powder. Sponge Starlite Black Brilliance over the greeting so it resembles a label-maker tape.
Attach everything to a side-folded 5-½" square card.

Special thanks to Jenny too - for the great ginger cookies and chocolate mints! Thanks to Ann, Erin and Lynne - for helping everyone shop and find those great new designs.

So clever to attach the snowflakes & glitter it up at the same time. Lavender & silver - lovely! Thanks, Jean!
