Hey there stamping friends I am so excited to be among the first to share with you two new die sets from the Sizzix Christmas release, designed by Tim Holtz. I have to give a big THANK YOU to Scrapbook.com for sending these dies to me so that I could create and share with you on release day.
The two die sets I am sharing with you today are the Winston Colorize die set, a set of 16 dies that create a layered and dimensional snowman that is classic and adorable. The second die set is Funky Nordic. This set has 14 dies in it, but several of the dies cut multiple pieces. This set has an electric mix of wintery, nordic and Christmas elements.
I LOVE to make tags for gifts that the recipient can also hang on the tree as an ornament. So, that is what I decided to make with these fun new dies sets.
You can get a close up look at these new die sets and see these tag/ornaments come together in this video.
If you can not see the video up on this screen you can also watch it on my YouTube channel.
I started by die cutting out all the pieces I to create this amazing snowman. The Colorize die sets are designed to layer pieces on top of each other in away that gives its dimensional look. These dies also emboss lines in to the cardstock that are a guide for you as to where to adhere the different pieces. And if you are following the die cut sample on the packaging the layering dies also tell you what color to cut with that die. That can be very helpful when you have 4 dies that you use to make the scarf for example.
I made some very simple chipboard tags that measure 3" x 6". I just cut the top two corners off to make a tag. I covered the chipboard using paper from the Echo Park paper pad called; Jingle All The Way.
The poinsettia that I added to the top of this tag was made using the Funky Nordic die set, which I also used to make the tag below.
I made this tree using the die that is meant to be a snowcapped mountain. But since it is the Funky Nordic die set, why not go off script and use these dies to make your own creations. The trunk of the tree is made using the candle stick die from this set.
All of the paper I used is from Scrapbook.com. They have paper pads that are great for card bases of all sizes and die cutting too.

To finish off these tags I used a bit of Perfect Pearls to add some shimmery splatter all over. And I tied off the tops of the tags with some red and white twine that had a couple mini bells on them.

Carrie, I absolutely love your Christmas tags! I bought Winston and Echo Parks Christmas paper pad. You are truly inspiring and I love your videos. The idea of putting chipboard on the back of your tags is ingenious! I never thought about that. The way you used the Funky Nordic die set, love it! I love getting more for my $. I’m so excited I found you!!!! Can you let us know what the thickness of your chipboard ? I looked this up on Google and found their are numerous thicknesses. Chipboard seems to be measured differently than card stock. Thank you so much 😊
