Introducing Christmas Magic... my new collection with American Crafts
After what feels like an eternity of staying quiet about it, I’m delighted to shout from the rooftops about something I’ve been working on this year: a brand new paper craft collection for Christmas 2015! It’s called Christmas Magic and ships to retailers this month. This is my third collection with American Crafts, and I’m so excited to be using this along with some other favourite products for my 2015 Christmas journal and Journal your Christmas class videos (more about that at the end of this post) but for right now, I just want to share it with you and offer you a chance to win some of it for free while we’re at it!
There are three sets of Thickers: Fitzgerald in red glitter, Eclair in black foam, and a new design called Starlight that features the numbers 1 to 31 (plus some star accents) with gold foil detail on cream chipboard.
I’m so excited to put this to use all over the place this December: it’s a set of four dies that create paper chains to decorate your tree, your fireplace, your classroom, your office computer, your presents, your dog… whatever will sit still long enough is fair game, I think!
I wouldn’t blame you for sticking a tinsel bow on everything either. I probably need a whole extra pack just to stick on members of my family at various moments throughout the season. Of course.
Some tried and true embellishments: rub-ons that include quite a few small phrases perfect for small format albums, pocket pages, and Christmas cards as well as the finishing details for larger projects like 12×12 pages, wooden buttons with epoxy designs in the centre, and enamel ‘dots’ with holly leaves.
And no shortage of stickers, for sure. Choose from a 6×12 sheet of cork stickers with white, red, and green designs or the 4×8 sticker sheet with words and phrases on one side and an alphabet on the other, or…
…chipboard stickers in two styles – either with lots of dimension and layers of chipboard or just a teensy bit of dimension in a single layer of chipboard, both with foil details to finish.
And of course, there is paper. Pattern paper as we know it and some special papers too, including things like gold foil on vellum. Prefer to see the collection on video? Well I can help with that. I even broke out the gold glitter and navy blue French manicure! (I think I’m saving the red and gold for nearer to December. I don’t want to peak too early, after all.)
As mentioned in the video, this collection will of course play a part in something I do every December: Journal your Christmas. I’ll be using a mix of this collection and other elements in my own journal and in the Christmas in a Box kit, which you can reserve from tomorrow should you wish. We’ll talk all about that tomorrow, when I’ll also be sharing my first Christmas Magic process video! I hope you’ll stop by to take a look.
For now, if you leave a comment on both this post and this one on the American Crafts blog, you’ll be entered to win a Christmas Magic prize pack! Which piece do you hope to find by the time your Christmas tree is up this year?

14 September 2015, 11:07
Shimelle! What a cute collection! I thought I was going to get away with purchasing minimal holiday supplies, but I think you just blew that plan out of the water :) I love that you finally got your foldies (I admit I still haven’t yet cut out the ones from your last collection.) Congrats, Shimelle – it is lovely as usual

14 September 2015, 11:44

14 September 2015, 11:49
LOVE this collection Shimelle! Congratulations on another fabulous set of goodies to play with. I have a feeling those number Thickers are going to FLY out of the stores!! Want! Question though, do you know if there will be a 6×6 paper pad? Would love these in a smaller scale for my DD album.
14 September 2015, 11:50
I love all your collections but am super excited to get my hands on your Christmas line. It’s beautiful!
14 September 2015, 11:51

I love the enamel holly and berries.
14 September 2015, 12:04
If I had seen this and had to guess the designer I would totally have guessed you. Lovely! I want it all but am especially loving the Thickers and holly enamel dots.
14 September 2015, 12:08
I have always loved holly so the enamel holly and berries are what first caught my attention. I also loved the cream wood grain paper.

Yay! I heard you say on PRT that a new collection was coming and I was hoping by the timing that it was Christmas themed!!! :)
The tinsel bows, the paper, the die cuts, it all looks wonderful!
14 September 2015, 12:25
Love everything about your collection. I think I have to have it all. I love, love the red glitter thickers, of course. And all the papers and embellishments. I cant wait to try out the dies that make the garlands. Keep your wonderful collections coming!!!

Holy moley! awesomeness galore!!! I am very intrigued by those paper chain dies—my daughter and I can have such fun with those!!
14 September 2015, 12:37
Love it all – but I think the die set would actually prompt me to decorate my computer monitor – what a lovely idea!
PS I don’t think the dog would sit still long enough, or I would try that too LOL
14 September 2015, 12:38
Oh awesome! What a fabulous line!!! Love it!

I love it all Shimelle, especially the papers, buttons and cork stickers x
14 September 2015, 13:00
Love it! Great that there are numbers for the whole month, not just to the 25th
14 September 2015, 13:03
all so cute…I love red and green at Christmas with a touch of gold so a great colour collection for me…my fave item has to be those paper chain dies…every year the children have paper chains to make and these would be so brilliant….plus they are so versatile they could be used throughout the year…love it!
14 September 2015, 13:04
Choose one item?? There’s no possible way. Okay – probably the holly enamel dots. They are the cutest ever…but the cut-apart paper…and the word stickers…
14 September 2015, 13:07
How adorable! I love the die cuts for paper chains. Such a super activity for families. Great retro look! Love it.
14 September 2015, 13:15

14 September 2015, 13:30
I love the red letters!!!
14 September 2015, 13:35
Love this set!!! But I love the thickers with all the numbers and stars!!!
14 September 2015, 13:38
I love the wooden buttons and cork stickers. Adorable!
14 September 2015, 13:39

14 September 2015, 13:58
I’m not generally a Christmas page scrapbooker but I LOVE this collection. It’s not your typical red and green everything. Congratulations on this amazing product line.
14 September 2015, 14:00
You are the reason that I fell in love with this hobby. You touched my heart as glittergirl and now you have been coming up with such beautiful collections. Wishing you all the best.
14 September 2015, 14:03

14 September 2015, 14:06

Shimelle, my daughter and I love love love all of your collections but this one tops them all! Love the retro feel, reminds me of my childhood
14 September 2015, 14:16

14 September 2015, 14:17
Oh Shimelle!!! this collection is TO DIE FOR!! that die cut pack is my first must have along with the papers, specifically the tone on tone reds! thanks for sharing :)
14 September 2015, 14:21

Absolutely love the whole collection but keep checking on the dimensional chipboard stickers – they are so lovely!!
14 September 2015, 14:40
The buttons, oh so useable still kicking myself for not buying two packs from the true stories collection. Close second and third enamel holly dots and the Santa route paper, can never resist a map
14 September 2015, 14:40
The papers are just GORGEOUS!!!! But, I must admit that my heart belongs to the holly enamel pieces! :)
14 September 2015, 14:47
I think I’ve been waiting for this collection for 15 years! This is the first time everything in the collection has appealed to me, including the die cut chain maker – can’t wait till my grandkids visit at Christmas and we can make these, just like I once did with their parents. Thanks, Shimelle – you’ve knocked it out of the ball park with this one!!
14 September 2015, 14:47
Oh my goodness. The number Thickers are genius! The ROBOT! and the SPACESHIP!! the holly epoxy stickers/enamel dots!! The cameras!! Seriously, this is awesome, and it is so perfectly you. I loved watching the video and hearing the excitement in your voice! My 14-month old son came running over as soon as he heard the music and sat in my lap while I watched, and he was clapping every time you said “happy” :) So you have his vote of excitement, too!
14 September 2015, 14:49
This collection is so wonderful!
14 September 2015, 14:51
I love the starlight thickers most of all, as I never have enough numbers from one set to complete an album. They are genius and only a great scrapbooker would think to include them in her collection. So happy to see this release :)
14 September 2015, 15:00
I love the papers! The 45 piece ephemera pack, the holly enamel dots and those lovely thickers will be what I use for my December album this year.
14 September 2015, 15:06
I love those dies and the tinsel bows, so cute and really useful!
14 September 2015, 15:12
I just love those tinsel bows! It reminds me of making pipe cleaner crafts as a child!

It’s a beautiful Christmas collection. I love the foldies die-cuts.
14 September 2015, 16:03

Anne-Liesse
14 September 2015, 16:14

14 September 2015, 16:14
Love the collection – I can’t say which piece of it I love most, the glitter thickets are probably my favorite, but the enamel shapes and…

14 September 2015, 16:32
What a fun Christmas collection. I especially love the wood stickers. :)
14 September 2015, 16:34
I love the use of the globe image with “joy to the world” sentiment – brilliant!
14 September 2015, 16:53
Oh yay. Lots of joy here at the total awesomeness of this collection. Love the bright colours – so different from all the drab distressed Christmas collections I have seen so far. Just hope some of the collection is going to be available in New Zealand. Now to finish last year’s JYC….
14 September 2015, 16:54
I love the vintage feel! I love your addition of aqua with the red and greens! I can’t wait to start!
14 September 2015, 17:00

I would love the cream and gold foil numbers, I think I will have to buy 2 sets.
14 September 2015, 17:44
This is a beautiful Christmas line! I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I love the light blue mixed in with the red and deep wood tone.
14 September 2015, 17:45
Oh. My. Word. I cannot remember the last time I was this excited about a Christmas collection…it has literally been years!! You have really hit all the right notes with this one. The colors and the motifs are all amazing! I need three of everything, but if I could only have one piece I think it would be the dies…that paper chain is just ridiculously cute! =)
14 September 2015, 17:49
Those Eclair thickers and the papers are amazing!
14 September 2015, 18:10
I love this collection.
The cream and gold Thickers are one of my favorites. Love that the numbers go to 31. The cork stickers remind me of frosted Christmas cookies. Can’t wait to see it up close.
14 September 2015, 18:15
I think I like everything but the paper chain die is pretty cool. I hope this product arrives in New Zealand soon.
Thanks for the giveaway

14 September 2015, 20:58
Is love at first sight, can’t wait to order it and start playing. Congrats Shimelle what a wonderful work!
14 September 2015, 21:10
I sure hope I can find that die cut set before the big day. Super cute!
14 September 2015, 21:11
OMG! That is the cutest collection. I can’t decide between the little bows or the dies. I love this collection Shimelle. Can’t wait to play with it.
14 September 2015, 21:12
Happy happy. Beautiful collection.
14 September 2015, 21:25
Oh wow, your Christmas collection is fantastic. I love the vintage yet modern feel of the collection. My favorite peice is the ornament paper. So gorgeous!
14 September 2015, 21:32
So beautiful and perfectly Shimelle. It is hard to pick one lovely goodie out of all those perfect pieces, but if you forced me I absolutely love the wood and epoxy buttons!
14 September 2015, 21:35
Ooooh. Fabulous! I think my favorite thing is the Viewmaster — a blast back to my childhood. Great job!
14 September 2015, 21:43
Fantastic! So happy for you that this partnership with AC has produced another winning collection. My favorite pieces include the red glitter and black foam Thickers, and also the cute gingerbread men die! It’s all adorable and I can’t wait to see this in stores!
14 September 2015, 21:52
Great video introducing your Christmas Magic line! I definitely perked up at your retro-inspired line…and those dies! AWESOME IDEA!!
14 September 2015, 21:58
I love the cork stickers! How perfect for you to create a Christmas line!!
14 September 2015, 22:05
I love this collection! You did another great job on this. LOVE LOVe your products
14 September 2015, 22:33
What an awesome Christmas collection! I love it all but must have the camera paper, the cork stickers, and the fold-up die cuts!
14 September 2015, 22:39
I haven’t wanted to buy a Christmas collection for a couple of years – until now. What a wonderful, nostalgic assortment of goodies!
14 September 2015, 22:51
those holly enamel dots are adorable. brilliant!
14 September 2015, 23:03
Love those wooden buttons! And the red thickers :)
14 September 2015, 23:17
Love the whole collection – but my favourites are the thickers. Especially grateful for a numbers set that goes all the way up to 31!
14 September 2015, 23:29
I’m pretty sure I need it all! The 1 thru 31 number Thickers are a great idea. Can’t wait!
14 September 2015, 23:37
Shimelle, I am so excited about this! I was just getting ready to leave a note asking you if you were ever going to give us your own Christmas collection! So fun! I would want to start with the paper — but I love the enamel holly and the wooden buttons and all the embellishments!
14 September 2015, 23:39
Such a cute collection Shimelle, I hope to use it in my DD :)
14 September 2015, 23:48
The whole collection is perfection but I absolutely love those paper chain dies!
14 September 2015, 23:50

15 September 2015, 02:11
I really hope to find those dies when I put up my tree. I’d love to make fun chains with my little boy!
15 September 2015, 02:14
Oh I LOVE ALL OF IT!!! Especially the wooden buttons! Can’t wait for Christmas!
15 September 2015, 02:16
All that pretty paper! That’s what I’m drooling over the most. But also the holly enamel dots & the small rub-on phrases. Not a fan of rub-ons in general, but those phrases look like the perfect little touch.
15 September 2015, 02:37
So much pretty paper and decorations but the garland dies really melted my heart. :-)
15 September 2015, 02:44
I have been anxiously awaiting this collection! I really like the pretty patterned papers and the enamel holly dots! Just wonderful!
15 September 2015, 03:36
I am so in love with this collection. The bright colors are so amazing and it is a fresh take on the holidays. I absolutely love the cork stickers and wood buttons!!!!
15 September 2015, 03:37
congratulations Shimelle. What a collection! Wow those red glitter thickers are lush. Definately what I want to find under my tree this year. Can’t wait to start JYC again. This collection is just perfect for that, it’s my favourite project of the year by far.
15 September 2015, 03:56
Your christmas collection is awesome!!! Those numbers are perfect for a December Daily, and love those wood buttons and cork stickers to pieces :) Yay you!
15 September 2015, 03:59
Ii love you collection but would have trouble choosing only one item. Which would I leave behind? The cork die cuts or the wood buttons?
15 September 2015, 04:26
Oh, my word! What a fab collection. I can’t wait to get my mitts on those fun paper chain dies.
15 September 2015, 04:39
Oh, I absolutely love your collection, Shimelle! Would be great to use in the JYC 2015!!! :D
15 September 2015, 05:56
What a great collection. Hope to get it soon in Germany or Switzerland.
15 September 2015, 06:12
What I wonderful collection – I hadn’t decided whether to do a December Daily type project but this collection is inspiring me to start planning for one.
15 September 2015, 06:54
I love your collections. Your rub ons have been on my must have list from the second I saw them!!!!BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION
15 September 2015, 06:57
Wow, I’m probably going to need to start crafting for 2016 instead of 2015 cause there are so many cute things to use!
15 September 2015, 07:34
Oh my goodness I was so excited to see that you did a Christmas collection. I love it! I especially love the little bit of aqua & woodgrain mixed in with the traditional greens & reds of Christmas. I can’t wait to get my hands on this collection!
15 September 2015, 07:42
This collection is so cute! I love the patterns and the addition of a few colors beyond green and red. The chipboard embellishments are adorable too. Congrats on the new collection!
15 September 2015, 07:43
Congrats on a beautiful collection. Love it!!
Catherine
15 September 2015, 07:58

All of it is just gorgeous! Can’t wait to get my hands on it. Of course winning it would be great too!
15 September 2015, 09:00

15 September 2015, 09:16
Love the new collection can’t wait until I can purchase it.
15 September 2015, 09:19
I was starting to get excited this week thinking about Journal your Christmas and other Christmas crafting I could start getting organised for and your new collection has only made me even more excited. I can’t wait to get some pieces, but its going to be very hard choosing just a few.
15 September 2015, 09:24
Oh this looks really nice! I love the cork board elements, and the epoxy holly, and the PL card paper. Oh so many more things to mention. . .
15 September 2015, 09:27
Love this collection. Thank you for creating a versatile holiday collection. I can see using this for Journal Your Christmas and throughout the year as well, especially the paper.
15 September 2015, 09:29
Love it all. Have to find the black foam thickers, the font is perfect. All the papers, of course. And I hope I can find the new strip dies. Oh and the number thickers too.
15 September 2015, 10:17
So Fun! All are must haves! I hope to fine the red thickers, number thickers, pack with folding die-cuts, the chipboard pack, and of course the paper. :) Thanks Shimelle! I can’t wait to use this and can feel the christmas spirit already!
15 September 2015, 10:18
Oh, Shimelle! It’s so ADORABLE and LOVELY. I love every piece. I want it all. All, all, all! :D
15 September 2015, 10:46
Loving the traditional colors. The holly berries and cork stickers are pretty neat too!
15 September 2015, 10:58
I love ALL the things regarding Christmas….so for me it’s difficult to say what I love more. perhaps dies or clear stamps. but I’m not sure.
marta
15 September 2015, 11:03
This beautiful collection reminds me of Christmas past, I love all of it. The train sure brings back memories. Love it all, so bright and pretty just like you.
15 September 2015, 11:18
Fab collection and great motivation to get started on my Christmas cards sooner rather than later.
15 September 2015, 11:22
I need that die cut pack … largely for the little dolly … but its all around adorable!
15 September 2015, 11:24
Shimelle, congrats on another great collection!!! Love everything in it, so it is hard to chose which item is my favorite. I guess, I especially like the holly enamel dots. I am also looking forward to using the paper in my Journal Your Christmas album. So excited!!!
15 September 2015, 11:28
I really want the entire collection, but since you specifically asked for one pick, I will go with the die chains. I have never seen those before, and I specifically want to purchase the star one.
15 September 2015, 11:42
Congratulations Shimelle! Any or all of your collection would be fabulous to find under the tree on Christmas morning. If I had to pick just one thing, it would be the enamel dot holly leaves and berries.
15 September 2015, 12:56
The whole collection is beautiful! If I had to pick one, I would have to choose the die cut pack!!
15 September 2015, 13:00
Yummy! Yummy! Am drooling over “dots” and chipboard stickers AND everything else!
15 September 2015, 13:26

15 September 2015, 21:30
I must have those tinsel bows! Great collection!
15 September 2015, 22:46
View masters make me happy! I’m not usually one to like Christmas collections, but you hit the mark with this! Retro, wood grain, VIEW MASTERS, sigh…
Congratulations on another wonderful collection!
15 September 2015, 22:51
Love the whole collection. Especially the thickers and the cork stickers.
15 September 2015, 22:57
Love all of the collection, it’s difficult to pick one favorite. I had my 4 year old granddaughter craft with me this summer and she loved the stickers, coloring, and stamping, so I ll say the santa stamp so she can stamp and color with me
15 September 2015, 23:07
I love the wooden buttons and the cork stickers they are super cute:-)
15 September 2015, 23:24

I love that Santa – soooo cute!

Shimelle, this collection is gorgeous! I really love the holly enamel dots :) can’t wait to see it all in real life!
16 September 2015, 01:29
This is my favorite!! I seriously am in love with this collection! It put me in the mood for some hot cocoa and cookies and my scrappy stuff… It makes me haapy
16 September 2015, 02:18
The thin chipboard is awesome! I also love the cork pieces. Congratulations Shimelle on another wonderful collection!
16 September 2015, 04:04
Really love the cork stickers!
16 September 2015, 04:10
Hi Shimelle, I love your new collection! I think my favourite thing is the numbers which are so perfect for journal your christmas! x
16 September 2015, 04:57
What a gorgeous collection, love all of it. But my favourite is the camera paper!
16 September 2015, 06:30
How could I possibly pick just one? I’m desperate to get my hands on the die-cuts and wood buttons but the enamel dots, cork and all those lovely papers have totally got me swooning and you can bet I will be stocking up on the thickers for sure. I’ve been attempting to pick my colour scheme for my December Daily and nothing was floating my boat – til now! This is so perfect
16 September 2015, 07:38
It all looks awesome!
16 September 2015, 07:56
I´m not that x-mas-paper-lover at all, but this collection ist absolutely awesome!
16 September 2015, 08:52
Love the embellishments!
16 September 2015, 09:10
My favorite supplies are definitely the die cuts as I have a cuttlebug and could would use them a lot! :)
16 September 2015, 09:31
Oh my word! Love it all! The holly “dots”, the paper and the chipboard stickers are my fave…
16 September 2015, 12:31
I would like a pack of the paper, please! :) Love those black thickers and the die cuts, too!
16 September 2015, 12:40
I want it all! And since I’ve been on the good list, I think I’ll get it! <wink> I’ve never wanted every bit of a collection before, but this one…yes! The black thickers, yum! and I love, love the dies! Oh, and the holly! Yes! When my husband and I were first married and had no money, I bought some cheap construction paper and cut holly and berries out of it and then taped it up all over our apartment. Every time I see holly, I think of that Christmas (27 years ago now) and just smile.
16 September 2015, 14:23
Love this collection! The holly stickers and rub-ons are fab. And I love that the number Thickers go up to 31 – I hate when they stop at 25! I think my favorite though, is the ephemera (especially the robot – too cute!).
16 September 2015, 16:55
Be still my heart!!! Love it all, Shimelle! Well done! The general tones and patterns are awesome and those cork stickers are fantastic!
16 September 2015, 17:54
Everything looks awesome – chipboard camera, ephemera and aqua colour in the mix.
16 September 2015, 19:15
I’m so excited for you, Shimelle! I can’t believe you are already on your 3rd collection. I have your other two, and of course love the Christmas Magic Collection. Since I’m on a Thicker hunt lately (coming from someone who used to never have titles) I’m looking forward to all three pack, but especially the Starlight set. There really aren’t enough numbers available without mixing fonts and colors. Kudos to you and your accomplishments! ~Jeanna
16 September 2015, 21:18
Love your Christmas collection, especially the new dies , the enamel dots and holly and the 3 alphas.
16 September 2015, 21:41
ohhhh Shimelle-so exciting! I love the paper, the paper chain dies, and ofcourse gotta have those dies. So many ideas!
16 September 2015, 21:46
Wow this collection is so cool! It’s been a long time since I seen a Christmas collection that I wanted to buy :) Love the trains you have inclded and those fun retro pieces for some old picture scrapping too :) Yep I see me buying this particular one this year. Would be a wonderful present to win though :) Thank you for the giveaway too.
16 September 2015, 23:08
Oh Shimelle! I had hoped you would do a Christmas line. I can not wait to play with this, it is just lovely.
17 September 2015, 00:32
It’s really beautiful!!!! Love It <3
17 September 2015, 00:35
The alphas!
17 September 2015, 01:44
Those holly enamel dots & the dies and wow I could go on & on. I’m so excited by this collection. Cannot wait to get my hands on it! I think I will use it for my December Daily.
17 September 2015, 03:40
Shimelle, the whole line is beautiful! I’m such a fan of your collections. And even though I tried not to look at Christmas products and said I wasnT purchasing any, I think I definitely will be buying some of this!

17 September 2015, 07:39
I love the collection! I’m a primary school teacher from Germany and I love to read “Mr. Willoby’s Christmas Tree” to my pupils every Christmas. So I’m especially excited about this collection since it is partly inspired by the book. Can’t wait to order! I especially love the die cuts and the papers! :)
Kind regards,
Antonia.
17 September 2015, 08:05
Another Shimelle collection! Bring it on. Let the fun begin.
17 September 2015, 09:02

17 September 2015, 09:37
Love the feel of the Christmas Magic Collection! So cute!

19 September 2015, 01:21
Just adorable! Can’t wait to get my hands on it all! My fave is the wooden buttons! Although I will need more than one of the ephemera packs too! One of my childhood Christmas traditions was listening to “The Small One” and “The Happy Prince” on records.
Congrats on a fantastic new collection!

29 September 2015, 14:06
Ahh. I would make so many beautiful things with this collection! ❤️
1 October 2015, 06:58
Shimelle you’ve done it again! The collection is beyond beautiful! I haven’t treated myself to any new Christmas paper in three years and now that I’ve seen your collection I’ve decided It’s time for something new! It’s all just lovely!
