Floral Spray Stamp & Dies

If you love nothing more than decking the halls with boughs of holly, and weaving stunning wreaths to hang on the front door - then you're in luck! With the Floral Spray Stamp & Die sets you can garland your Christmas cards with all the joy and colour of the season!

From perfect poinsettia, and shimmering silver bells to the golden glimmer of candlelight this range has a whole host of beautifully illustrated designs so you can add that extra something special to your Christmas cards and crafts!

Everything in the Floral Spray Stamp & Die collection has been sized to work perfectly with 4” x 6” card bases and comes with cheerful and traditional sentiment stamps - perfect for beginner and novice card makers.

And, for more experienced crafters, because the outside cutting frame of the dies in this collection is in two halves, you can experiment with a variety of effects with each set!

Sweet messages that spread festive cheer are what Christmas cards are all about - and with the Crafter's Companion Brush Lettering Stamps you can add some serious style to your sentiments!

Each set in this range includes two stamps to create a sentiment or message, with one word in a bold and large typeface style and the rest of the message in beautifully subtle and on-trend brush lettering.

Sized to work perfectly with 6" x 4" card bases, it really couldn't be easier to make your Christmas cards the star of the show this year! Here are the Christmas sentiments you can choose from with the Crafter's Companion Brush Lettering Stamps:

Crafter’s Companion Brush Lettering Stamps can be used with any of the Spectrum Noir range of inkpads, so you can experiment with colour, blending and even metallic effects! Simply layer the stylish font on top of the bold lettering to create a gorgeous layered effect.

This range also includes Everyday sets, featuring sentiments such as 'Happy Birthday', ' Thinking of You' and Thank You So Very Much' so you can craft the most stylish cards all through the year!
