Hi Crafty Friend, Taylor here! It is the most wonderful time of the year for crafting. Even though the holidays are a few months away, this is when you start building your stash of handmade cards, tags, and other holiday goodies. Some of you even start earlier, and I love that energy!

This week’s Christmas Release is packed with new goodies across three collections, all designed to help you create the kind of cards you love to send. Think letters to Santa, heartfelt holiday wishes, and sweet “missing you this season” moments. Mix and match to find your style, whether you lean merry and bright, cozy and classic, or even untraditional colors.

Emily Mydlowski is bringing all the color to her projects! She went elegant with a dark holiday card from the Garden Variety – Poinsettia Die Set, where the bold background makes the blooms pop. She also crafted a cheerful rainbow set the exclusive gifts with purchase and the Postmarked North Pole Collection. And to top it off, she created a playful Postmarked Mini Slim in red, white, and pink.

Deby Bauer used three different collections in her festive lineup! She combined Sleigh All Day Die Set with Garden Variety – Holiday Greenery Die Set to create a sleigh overflowing with Christmas goodness. For her bright yellow card, she paired the Postmarked North Pole Collection with the Happy Mail Die. And she went classic with the O Christmas Tree Collection to craft a timeless holiday tree design.

Amy Kolling kept it classic with green, red, and white, adding playful touches of pink and gold throughout her projects. She used the exclusive gifts with purchase for her cheerful elf card, the Postmarked North Pole Collection for a merry mail design, and the Garden Variety – Poinsettia Die Set for a timeless season’s greetings card.

Jill Hawkins went cute and colorful with her projects! She softened the classic Christmas palette into pastels for a sweet, playful twist on her Postmarked North Pole and exclusive gifts with purchase designs. And for a non-traditional approach, she created a bright rainbow Happy Holidays wreath card with the Garden Variety – Holiday Greenery Die Set.
