Products Used in This Project

December 2025 Main Kit with Patterned Paper

The December 2025 Main Kit with Patterned Paper is the foundation of Anke's gorgeous layout. This comprehensive kit includes a curated selection of winter-themed patterned papers featuring delicate snowflakes, cool blues, and crisp whites that perfectly capture the essence of the season. The papers provide ideal material for creating the spiral elements that add dimension to the page. What makes this kit special is that all products are exclusively designed for Hip Kit Club, meaning you won't find these unique patterns anywhere else. The quality of the paper is exceptional, making it easy to cut, fold and manipulate for dimensional techniques without tearing or losing its shape.

December 2025 Stitchable Starflake Die

The December 2025 Stitchable Starflake Die is a versatile metal die that plays a starring role in this project. This intricate die creates beautiful snowflake shapes with delicate stitching holes, allowing crafters to add both dimension and texture to their layouts. In the video, Anke demonstrates how these die-cut snowflakes can be layered and incorporated with the paper spirals to create a cohesive winter wonderland effect. What makes this die special is its dual functionality - you can simply use it to cut out snowflake shapes, or take it to the next level by adding stitching details as Anke demonstrates. The precision cutting edges ensure clean results every time, making it accessible for crafters of all skill levels.

Techniques Used

In this tutorial, Anke demonstrates several key techniques that you can incorporate into your own scrapbooking projects:

• Paper Spiraling: Cutting patterned paper into strips and carefully curling them to create dimensional spirals
• Layering: Building depth by strategically placing elements at different heights
• Die Cutting: Using the Stitchable Starflake Die to create intricate snowflake shapes
