New Poshta Holiday Designs

October 1, 2024

Hi there! This month I am excited to join my crafty friend, Lizzy, as she introduced her new Poshta holiday designs. Today she is showcasing this year’s holiday Color Story lineup. I chose to work with the Make Merry color story.

Make Merry is a cheerful quintessential Christmas color palette. Evoking images of Christmas trees strung with candy canes, jolly baubles, and brightly colored lights, this collection of colors is sure to transport you to a joyous memory of bygone holidays. Included in this palette you will find Cardinal, Glacier, Arugula, Sunflower, and Tide Pool felt.

I created a project using the new Polka Dot Stocking Details Die(retails for $22) coordinates with the previously released All Bundled Up Stocking Die (available separately for $50).

Next I used the Stripe Mitten Details Die (retails for $22) that coordinates with our All Bundled Up Mitten Die (available separately for $38). Both the stocking and the mitten work great for tucking a gift card inside.
