    So many beautiful new products and loving all the samples shown. I’ve never tried hot foiling but it looks like lots of fun! Thanks for sharing and for a chance to win!

  • Karen Lingel

    Ooooooh, I can never resist holly stamps/dies! Thanks for the opportunity to win.

    Wow – everything in this release is amazing! Could not even begin to pick a favorite. I have to say though – you must have been reading my mind with that Nativity Looking Glass die. Ever since the Nativity cover plate came out last year, I’ve been playing around with the idea of cutting it into a square and using it to make a “handmade” looking glass type scene. And now there’s one ready to go that I can buy – love it!
