Holiday Inspiration Comes Full Circle!

We’re absolutely smitten with the stunning holiday card that design team member Irene Smith created during her live, interactive cardmaking challenge show, Card Chaos: Quarter-Hour Cards! If you haven’t seen it yet, the episode’s theme was ink smooshing, and Irene used that beautifully unpredictable technique to craft a dreamy watercolor background. She then transformed her inky masterpiece into a delightful ornament-shaped card using the Circle-Shaped Card Die and the brand new Snowglobe Circle Card Add-On Die. Believe it or not, she was able to finish this card in 15 minutes thanks to the ease and beauty of the large, new Flourished Christmas stamp! A few shiny Silver Sparkle Spots finished the look with just the right amount of frosty glitter. Click below to catch the replay and see all the inky fun unfold! You can even play along!

Our creative circle keeps on spinning! Design Team Member Carrie Rhoades and Guest Designer Sylvie (@kaliscards) have been making holiday magic with the Circle-Shaped Card Die and its newest add-ons, and the results are pure joy. Sylvie’s charming snowglobe card features the Snowglobe Circle Card Add-On Die paired with her beautifully colored Frost Bite Café penguins—talk about frosty perfection! Meanwhile, Carrie brought the cheer with three playful designs: one featuring the adorably whimsical Snowman Parts Circle Card Add-On Die and two more decked out with the Holiday Wreath Circle Card Add-On Die. She even added festive sentiments from the Flourished Christmas Stamp and the Large Christmas Sentiment Die, both perfectly sized for circle-shaped cards. Each design shows just how versatile (and irresistibly fun!) these dies can be. Share your own circle card magic with us on Instagram by tagging #trinitystamps!
