Introducing the Homespun Holiday: Evergreen Kit!

Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm for the Candy Cane Express and the rest of this release! We have been blown away by all of your kind comments and feedback. We're just as excited as you are and we still have one more fantastic new arrival up our sleeves. Just as a reminder, I will be going live on Instagram tonight at 8pm to chat about today's introductions.

Today we're introducing our newest Homespun Holiday Kit, the Homespun Holiday: Evergreen Kit (retails for $140).

The Homespun Holiday: Evergreen Kit is perfect for anyone looking to create a wide variety of ornament styles with one central shape. We call it “Evergreen” because it can always feel fresh and new by changing up your colors and design elements. This kit includes detail options like decorative bands, embroidered starburst patterns, and scalloped layers. Create even more variety by incorporating alphabets and other elements from your collection, adding a personal touch with ease.

Our most sincere thanks to Audrey, Amanda, and Kelly for sharing their creativity with us this week. We are so grateful for offering their time and talents to our introductions. Thank you, ladies!

Now it's my turn! I have so much to share with you!

When planning this kit, we really tried to consider value. We wanted to make sure that we were offering the most versatile bang for your buck that we possibly could. So we decided to make this kit a full size kit die, but with fewer consumables (like felt, dies, and embellishments) to keep the price point a little more manageable.

We also wanted to make sure you would have plenty of options, so we decided to offer this kit with color trios in twelve palettes that you can choose from when you order. All of the palettes will come with the same neutral embellishment box.

The thing I love about this kit is that you can get so many different looks with one central ornament shape. There truly are so many ways to use the elements to create a wide variety of styles.

So today, I have an ornament made with each color trio. Let's take a closer look at each palette! This first palette is Deep Teal, Pistachio, and Cardinal.

Here you can see the medallion band, the central scalloped medallion, scalloped bands, and center stripe design elements.

I love adding monograms and the scalloped circle in this set is a fabulous way to highlight an initial. I used the Banner Builder letter e to add an initial to the top ornament in this set. I also added the Keepsake Dates Die to add the year to the stripe on the bottom-right ornament.

Next up, I have ornaments in two of the other palettes.

The ornament on the left is Pixie, Cascade, and Rouge. I used the center stripe design and a Banner Builder monogram.

The ornament on the right is Smooch, Vintage Glass, and Limelight. I used the scalloped bands along with the Accessory Alphabet to spell out a name. Both ornaments have the year stitched onto the back with the Keepsake Dates Die.

Here on the left we have Soft Jade, Satin Slipper, and Burgundy. I love this starburst that fits into the scalloped circle frame.

Next up is another medallion design made with Lollipop, Rich Plum, and Wintergreen. I'm very excited about the starburst sequin in the center. They are included in the kit, but we will also have them available separately.

The third ornament in this photo is made with Pea Pod, Lagoon, and Overcast. I used the solid ovals layered with the small starburst die cuts and sequin embellishments.

This Ochre, Conifer, and Crabapple trio got the glitter spray paint treatment. Most of the Ochre pieces were sprayed with Glistening Gold Krylon paint and they shimmer beautifully.

The scalloped bands leave plenty of room for initials and embroidered dates. I used DMC 3820 with the clear beads from the embellishment kit to give a subtle golden appearance.

Here we have Glacier, Indigo, and Arugula on the leftmost ornament. I love using stitches to dress up simple areas like the center stripe.

The ornament in the top-right is Spearmint, Crabapple, and Chantilly. This one has a decidedly retro vibe. It reminds me of a 1950s diner.

The ornament here on the bottom is Cardinal, Taffy, and Parsley. I used more stitches to create the pattern on the band and embellished with fun starburst sequins.

The ornament here on the left is Weathered Moss, Seaspray, and Red Currant. I used the solid ovals with some fun stitches to create a starburst design.

The palette on the right is Petal, Pine Forest, and Red Currant. This one is personalized with the Monogram Alphabet on the back side.

I really had fun playing with these dies and I've only scratched the surface. I haven't even tried mixing and matching with any of our previously released dies (the Keepsake Ornaments Extras are high on my list). These ornaments are super approachable for anyone from a beginner to a seasoned pro. I hope you can see all of the possibilities too!

Thank you so much for joining us this week! I will be going live tonight at 8pm EDT to answer any questions about the release, so make sure to stop by if you have any questions about this release!
