Most Wonderful Time Stamps & Coordinating Dies, Outdoor Ice Rink Scene Builder Dies + Stencil Set
This sure is a lovely addition to your wintry collection! Send warm wishes to your coolest friends with the adorable characters from this stamp set! Pair this set with our new Outdoor Ice Rink Scene Builder Dies + Stencil set to create the most unique and exciting wintry scenes!


First we have Candice’s amazing creation!

I just love the starry night sky background, it looks so magical! I also love how she kept a cohesive color tone, from the background, to the cute characters and to her choice of glittery gems!

For my card below, I used all of the dies from Outdoor Ice Rink Scene Builder Dies + Stencil Set to die cut the building skyline (+shadow), the shrubs and the ice rink & lamp posts on various colored cardstocks.

I then used the coordinating stencil to add colors to the individual elements like the lamps, shrubs branches, and ice rink board. Fort the extra touch of details, this stencil even has a cut out just for inking the bottom trim to the ice rink board!

Create a multi-color wreath with this poinsettia circular stencil. Great for a festive yet effortless background. Pair it with a charming sentiment from Magical Christmas Sentiments to complete your project!

Check out this goregous creation by Candice!

Candice chose a traditional color palette for her card. I love the red and green combination which gives a very festive vibe!
The completed wreath measures approximately 5″ x 5″.

On the other hand, I did a card using a non-traditional christmas color palette. I used light yellow for my poinsettia with a touch of orange near the centers.

I gold heat embossed a sentiment from Magical Christmas Sentiment and added a back panel in shiny gold cardstock to match, leaving an 1/8″ narrow border. My finished card measures 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″.

I hope you enjoyed today’s showcases and inspirations. Leave a comment below before you go and let me know what you think! And be sure to come back tomorrow for more Product Previews and Giveaways!

I really love the little girl skating in Central Park, at the rink Donald Trump opened many years ago, for free so everyone, rich and poor, can skate. This is such a happy scene, and a happy memory for me1

The circle poinsettia stencil is a great
idea. I love poinsettias – big part of the

Poinsettia 360° die?! I hear angels singing!!
