Kraft-Core Cardstock (Nostalgic Collection)

This pad of textured cardstock includes 72 sheets in 24 colors. A member of the Cut & Emboss product line, this acid free cardstock is perfect for projects that need to stand the test of time–like scrapbooks and home decor. Inspired by Tim Holtz, a longtime crafter and innovative designer, the Nostalgic Collection is marked by rich colors like plum, turquoise, and forest green. For a distressed look, buff the cardstock until the natural craft core appears. Measuring 4.25 by 5.5 inches, this pad accommodates most Sizzix dies and embossing folders.

Embossing Folders (Playful & Flower Circle)

Make embellishments for scrapbook layouts and greeting cards with these embossing folders. Transform cardstock, foil, or vellum into a paper craft with texture and style. The Playful folder, which features an intricate diamond motif, has a vintage feel that's perfect for wedding invitations or graduation announcements. The Flower Circle folder, meanwhile, is ideal for occasions like baby showers and birthday parties. Use them to make gift tags, too!

Framelits Dies (Card & Triple Fancy, Labels & Kitchen)

View Framelits from the side, and they practically disappear. These super thin dies work seamlessly on paper crafts and can even be used as stencils. Framelits Dies are designed to cut one sheet of cardstock, paper, foil, or vellum at a time, so don't overdo it! Use these special dies to crop photos into fun shapes or cut windows in bags and boxes for a fun twist on traditional gift wrap. While each design has something special to offer, the most charming ones in the set are the Kitchen dies. Choose from a pitcher, a canning jar, and a coffee mug to put the finishing touch on your project.
