Introducing 3 New Collections for January!

January creativity is officially here—and it’s full of personality! We’re so excited to share three brand-new January Collections designed to make cardmaking more playful, more interactive, and more heartfelt than ever. From clever slider cards and pun-filled snacks to encouraging sentiments that move (literally!), these collections are ready to spark your next creative adventure.

Whether you love experimenting with interactive elements, building layered designs, or creating cards that truly connect, this release offers something for every style of maker—and plenty of opportunities to play along the way.

To get a closer look at the Packed with Love, All That, and What a Ride collections, start with Channin’s video overview, where she highlights all three collections and how the products work together in cardmaking projects.

Now let’s dive in either further to each of these collections take a look at some inspiring sample cards along the way.

The Packed with Love Collection brings together charming nautical imagery, sweet wordplay, and interactive dies that are as fun to make as they are to give. It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays, or anytime you want to send a little love with a lot of creativity.

This collection is especially great for makers who enjoy cards with surprises—think hidden messages, sliding elements, and layers that reveal something special when opened.

• Partners in Brine Clear Set
• Partners in Brine Stamp & Cut
• Well Preserved Clear Set

• Making Waves Die Set
• Wide Stripe Bold Prints
• Big Mouth Sardine Tin Die Set

The standout of this collection is the Big Mouth Sardine Tin Die Set. It creates an irresistibly cute tin-style card that opens to reveal a surprise inside—and it gets even better when paired with our previously released Big Mouth Slider Dies. Together, they let you create smooth, interactive slider cards that feel unexpected and delightful every time.

These pieces work beautifully together, giving you the flexibility to keep designs simple or take them to the next level with movement and layered details.

To make things extra easy, we have a step-by-step video showing how to assemble the Big Mouth Sardine Tin and Slider Dies, so you can jump right in and start creating with confidence.

Bold, bright, and full of fun, the All That Collection is a love letter to friendship cards with personality. Inspired by everyone’s favorite salty snack, this collection delivers playful dimension and pun-packed sentiments that are impossible not to smile at.

If you enjoy bold colors, hands-on techniques, and cards that feel lighthearted and joyful, this collection is especially fun to explore.

All That Collection Products:

• Snack Attack Die Set

• Chip Chip Hooray Stamp Set

• Snack Attack Layering Stencils

• All That Collection Bundle - Includes all 3 products in this collection at a discounted price!

Layered chip bags, colorful backgrounds, and cheeky messages like “You’re All That & a Bag of Chips” make this collection perfect for birthdays, thank-yous, and just-because cards. One of the most fun parts is adding details to the chips themselves—think a touch of glitter for extra “salt,” or simple ink blending to give each chip dimension and bring them to life. The coordinating stencils make adding depth and color quick and satisfying—no guesswork required.

Here are a couple more cards bursting with bold color combos, playful layouts, and chips spilling out for extra texture and movement. These designs are great reminders that handmade cards can be heartfelt and fun.

Life isn’t always a straight line—and the What a Ride Collection celebrates that beautifully. With encouraging sentiments, flowing designs, and interactive elements, this collection is ideal for encouragement cards, milestones, graduations, and moments when words really matter.

This collection is especially meaningful for cards meant to support, motivate, or remind someone they’re not alone.

The Yes You Can dies and stencils add bold, modern encouragement that feels fresh and empowering. Across the collection, the sentiments are especially encouraging, with a great mix of playful script and bold fonts that work beautifully together for cards that truly lift someone up.
