Pocket Thoughts Dies for Christmas

Pocket Thoughts Dies for Christmas

Hello, stampers! This is my last post celebrating Christmas in July. I’m kind of sad! I’ve been having so much fun with Stampin’ Up!’s Greetings of the Season Bundle and the gorgeous Season of Green & Gold 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. Seriously, this paper is amazing with its gold foil sheets and gold accents. And, the stamp set offers a mix-and-match approach, where you can “build” exactly what you want to say. 

Find these new offerings on my online store by clicking here

Greetings of the Season Bundle

Season of Green Gold patterned paper

Today, I add Stampin’ U!’s Pocket Thoughts Dies to the mix. This three-die set allows you to add pockets on your card — on front or in the middle — to hold gift cards or tags with messages.

I created two separate cards using the patterned paper, but experimented with Night of Navy and Gold Foil. Which is your favorite?
