SugarCut – Pinecone Greetings is an 8 piece coordinating die set to our Pinecone Greetings stamp set (sold separately). Use them together to create quick and professional looking packaging and accents.
I absolutely LOVE the products we are introducing today.
For my card, I began by heat embossing these gorgeous snowflakes in white onto a panel of white cardstock. The embossing acted as a resist when I began inking the background with various blue Distress inks. The sentiment from Flurry of Warm Wishes was heat embossed in a silver glitter for a little sparkle.
Our team has some amazing and creative inspiration for you using the products featured here today. You can visit each of our designers blogs below for details on their projects. And while you’re there be sure to leave a sweet comment for them, giving you an extra entry to win today’s giveaway prize.

October 18, 2017 at 6:22 amSuch gorgeous card!!
The hardest person to buy for in my family would be Oldest granddaughter Emily. She is 11 now will be 12 in January. She has Dandy Walker Syndrome so mentally she is only 5. So we have to be very careful with the toys we buy for her.
Linda Creates
October 18, 2017 at 6:28 amThe hardest people to buy for are our parents. They have everything they want/need. 😀 Love the pine cones!

Dee Ann Matthews
October 18, 2017 at 7:34 amP. S. My husband is the most difficult to buy gifts for becausee he is a minamalist.
Tami B
October 18, 2017 at 7:42 amThe snowflakes are beautiful. My teenage nieces and nephews are the hardest to buy for, I guess that’s why there are so many gift cards being given in this day and age.
Marla Harris
October 18, 2017 at 7:50 amBy far my dad. At 83 he has everything. Lovely release.
Sheri D
October 18, 2017 at 7:58 amThe hardest people to buy for in my family are teenage boys! Other than gift cards, I am at a loss. I absolutely LOVE the snowflakes. Prettiest ones out there I think
JuLie L
October 18, 2017 at 7:58 amThe hardest to buy for is my in-laws! But they are always appreciative of what we get them. 🙂
Excited about this release!
Becca Yahrling
October 18, 2017 at 8:24 amBeautiful BG you created for these gorgeous snowflakes. Love the pinecone set!
The hardest person to buy for in my family would be my husband (unless it’s something expensive, but that’s not gonna happen! haha).
Andrea Shell
October 18, 2017 at 8:32 amLove today’s stamps! Those snowflakes are so pretty, and the greenery set offers so many possibilities!

Arianna Barbara
October 18, 2017 at 8:49 amThe hardest person to buy for is my boyfriend! : D
I’m totally in love for this stunning card!!! Beautiful stamp sets!!!
Mirella Rogan
October 18, 2017 at 9:14 amLovely new products! The hardest person to buy for is one of my brothers in law – he’s one of those people who doesn’t have huge needs, and he rarely wishes for something… thankfully, there’s usually an event or something that he wants to attend, so his gifts are most often “experiences” more than material things…
Debbie S
October 18, 2017 at 9:24 amThose snowflakes are gorgeous and so is the card. I like the versatility of the Pinecone Greetings set. The hardest person to buy for is my dad. He always says he doesn’t want anything!
Crafty Math Chick
October 18, 2017 at 9:28 amSuch beautiful pinecones and elegant snowflakes! My husband is always the most difficult person to buy for – nothing ever seems good enough for him, I mean, he is my HUSBAND, you know? Thanks for the chance to win!
Lila Taylor Miller
October 18, 2017 at 9:46 amIt would be me According to the family! I could give them a list with photographs of the items I want and they will still say it was hard to shop! 😂😂😂
sharla~
October 18, 2017 at 9:58 amLove the snowflakes, so pretty! I don’t really buy presents anymore, all our kids are grown and we just gift them money so they can get what they need/want.
Tosha
October 18, 2017 at 10:01 amPinecone Greetings set is my favorite thus far, so many designs running through my head.
My Dad is the hardest to buy for! He is a Mr. Fix-it; which you would think would make it easy, but no. Because: he has all the tools. This year will be harder because he is loosing the use of his hand due to Parkinson.
Franka M.
October 18, 2017 at 10:11 amLove this gorgeous card, and the font on Flurry of Warm Wishes is beautiful. The hardest person to shop for is definitely my 19 year old son.
Deepa Earnshaw
October 18, 2017 at 10:15 amstunning card. LOVE the snowflakes against the dark background. The hardest person to buy presents for would have to be my husband (the man who has everything lol)- he tends to buy what he wants, when he wants – he hates waiting for things lol!!!!!
Jennifer
October 18, 2017 at 10:15 amMy Dad is the hardest person to buy for so I tend to either hand make something for him or give him a certificate to take him out to eat. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Marise Nyberg
October 18, 2017 at 10:21 amWithout doubt, my Dad. He is impossible to buy for. He is 93, still really lively but needs for nothing and scolds us for spending on him.
Debbie Rumpza
October 18, 2017 at 10:23 amThe hardest person to buy for is my husband! Typically I try to buy something that he wouldn’t buy for himself, and he “loves” it but then it sits in its box under the bed for years. Argh!
Lori Lien
October 18, 2017 at 10:51 amThe hardest person to buy for is my oldest sister who has everything!! We draw names in my family and I got her name this year. ! She doesn’t craft, her house is fully decorated, I could never buy her clothes or earrings. Then to top it off her B-day is at the beginning of Jan. I have made her cards before .
Angela W
October 18, 2017 at 10:56 amMy Mom is definitely the hardest to buy for in my family. I usually just end up asking her for a list of what she wants and try to buy exactly what’s on the list. The last few years, though, she just says she doesn’t know what she wants which makes it even harder!
Mary Ann Evans
October 18, 2017 at 11:04 amLove the snowflakes and the card…..
The hardest person to shop for on my Christmas list is my 14 year old granddaughter! She always says “Not much, Gram, cash or a gift card works”.
Sue
October 18, 2017 at 11:10 amThe hardest people to buy for are our parents and our adult children. I love the snowflakes, they are so very pretty! Love the dainty look to them.
Kirsty Vittetoe
October 18, 2017 at 11:27 amI love that beautiful background on this fabulous project!
The hardest person on my Christmas list is hubby, he always said he doesn’t need anything, LOL! What an opposite from me!
Anna Dowdy
October 18, 2017 at 11:28 amRight now it’s my mother in law.
Karen
October 18, 2017 at 11:30 amLove the snowflakes on blue! Hardest person to buy for is my husband because if he wants something he just goes out and buys it!
Barbara Staradumsky
October 18, 2017 at 11:34 amOh wow..The Gorgeous snowflakes just pop against that gorgeous background! I would love to know what ink colors you used! So Beautiful! I really don’t have a hard time buying for anyone..Yes I am lucky I know! Our children always wants gift cards or cash. My hubby usually tells me what he wants, My sister is a crafter like I am and I just buy her the latest thing I have bought and loved..and that way I know she’ll love it as we have the same tastes, and our children usually tell us what to get for the grandkids! lol…All I have to do is order online, and wrap when it arrives!
Sue LD
October 18, 2017 at 11:54 amBeautiful snowflakes and love the layered pinecones and the greenery.
Sue LD
October 18, 2017 at 11:55 amForgot to answer question–hardest person to buy for is one of my grown sons–he is very particular about what he wants.
Roxanne Obrien
October 18, 2017 at 12:01 pmThe hardest person to buy for is my husband!!
Rikki Morgan
October 18, 2017 at 12:04 pmWhat a gorgeous card and the snowflakes are so delicate and pretty. The hardest person for me to buy for is my husband, when I ask him he says there is nothing that he wants.
Cheryl Robertson
October 18, 2017 at 12:13 pmI think the hardest person I buy for is my husband. He rarely needs anything and if he wants something, he goes and buys it right away. I try to think of things he might like that he hasn’t thought of! Lol!
Glenda
October 18, 2017 at 12:37 pmLove the delicate lines of this set — and adore how you used the Distress inks! Hardest to buy for is my step-father. He lives across the country and without those daily “clues” it makes it doubly hard to buy for an older guy. Looking for inspiration!
Stacey Kowbel
October 18, 2017 at 1:00 pmThose snowflakes are beautiful. Such a stunning card!
Stacey Kowbel
October 20, 2017 at 10:42 amOh, and my dad is the hardest to buy for. Won’t give any ideas and always says he doesn’t need anything.
Trina P.
October 18, 2017 at 1:36 pmThe hardest person to buy for is my husband. He just buys what he needs/wants and always says he doesn’t need anything. I really have to listen hard to hear any slipups or get very creative.
Beautiful blended card. I need a snowflake set. 🤗
Ericka Huston
October 18, 2017 at 2:22 pmThe most difficult person to shop for is my husband. He is always talking himself out of things to buy for himself, and says he rather see me buy for everyone else.
Robin P
October 18, 2017 at 2:45 pmThe hardest person to buy for would have to be my Father in law. He has everything he needs and wants.
Michelle Bylaw
October 18, 2017 at 3:07 pmThese are so pretty! The hardest people to buy for are my teen nephews. 🙂 Thanks guys!!
Jerri shine
October 18, 2017 at 3:21 pmHardest person to buy for Christmas… My mom! LOL! the woman has everything!
Heidi
October 18, 2017 at 3:29 pmLove the Flurry stamp set! I guess my brother is hardesr to buy presents for, we don’t really click, which doesn’t make it any easier!
Diana
October 18, 2017 at 3:31 pmThe hardest person to buy for at Christmas is my son-in-law. He is extremely picky and won’t share any hints about what he would like for Christmas.
Lori Ritchie
October 18, 2017 at 3:33 pmLove both of these sets but the snowflake used on the card is stunning, so dainty! The hardest for me to buy for is my parents who are in their 80’s. What do you buy for someone who has everything they need?
Beverly Perdue
October 18, 2017 at 3:33 pmThe hardest person on my Christmas list is my Dad. He has everything and it’s always hard to think up new and fun ideas for him. I absolutely love the snowflakes and the sentiments.
Lori Ritchie
October 18, 2017 at 3:35 pmLove both of these sets, especially the snowflakes. My parents are the hardest to buy for, the don’t need much in their 80’s.
Charity Chamberlain
October 18, 2017 at 3:42 pmGorgeous card! Love these sets! The snowflakes are stunning and so elegant! I also love the layering options in pincone set!
Charity Chamberlain
October 18, 2017 at 3:45 pmOh forgot to answer the question, lol! The hardest person to buy for is my husband. He never will tell you what he wants and when he does say it’s always something expensive, lol!
Jennifer
October 18, 2017 at 3:58 pmLove the new releases ! How can one not have this in their stash! Love the new pine cones and snowflakes!
Lindar C
October 18, 2017 at 4:01 pmI don’t have anyone that’s hard to buy for on my Christmas list, I have everyone send me a list of 5 things they want and I pick form their list, is that cheating??? I’m happy, they’re happy…. win-win
Love the huge snowflake and the layering stamp set.
Nana711
October 18, 2017 at 4:23 pmYour card is gorgeous. My mother is the hardest to buy for – always says she doesn’t need anything. Thank you for a chance to win.
bev p
October 18, 2017 at 5:11 pmI tend to comment on the host site last, so I can tell you how much I enjoyed it, but I have to stop now and tell you how beautiful I think your blending is. I don’t think I have ever seen dark shades done so well! Kudos! Thank you.
Anne Sturgeon
October 18, 2017 at 5:49 pmI love both of these. One can never have too many snowflakes…. the greenery is also lovely. I have to say my husband is pretty hard to buy for. I try to make notes on things he mentions. After 31 years together we pretty much buy the things we want at the time. It can be a challenge but I do love a good challenge…..
Ann Parknert
October 18, 2017 at 6:03 pmHow cute! First time I visit this blog, but not the last time for sure! 💝
Ann Parknert
October 18, 2017 at 6:06 pmForgot to answear the question: Hardest to buy presents for is my oldest son, 22 years old. All he likes is online gaming…. 😁
Claire Broadwater
October 18, 2017 at 6:11 pmJust WOW! Gorgeous snowflakes!
The hardest person to by for is my better half! He has no wants and he is not materialistic! It makes it difficult to find anything for him! But, I keep trying to surprise him! XX
Kelly Santi
October 18, 2017 at 6:26 pmThis is absolutely breathtaking! I cannot wait for this release to go on sale! I’m smitten!
Colleen F
October 18, 2017 at 6:50 pmBeautiful cards! I want the snowflakes stamp! The hardest person to buy for is my husband because he has no hobbies and he doesn’t like gadgets. He appreciates what he does get though.
Tracy A
October 18, 2017 at 7:03 pmMy father-in-law is the hardest person to buy for. He says he already has everything he needs.
Kim Heggins
October 18, 2017 at 9:28 pmThese snowflakes are simply amazing and make the most beautiful cards. My dear hubby is the hardest person to buy for.
Carla Hundley
October 18, 2017 at 9:42 pmGorgeous designs.
My husband is so
hard to buy for as
we buy whatever
we want all year
long! So it’s hard
for Christmas to
come up with a
gift.
Carla from Utah
Mary-Anne V

Daisy Duchek
October 18, 2017 at 11:56 pmMy husband is the hardest person to buy for, always! He gets what he wants, when he wants it. So frustrating
Kim Brown
October 19, 2017 at 12:10 amThe hardest person to buy for in my inlaws and parents. It is hard finding things to buy when they go buy what they want and need anyways. They don’t collect things either.
Victoria Banaszak
October 19, 2017 at 12:14 amI love these sets! So pretty and the examples were wonderful.
Probably my nephews. They have tons of clothes and toys.
I have been having some problems leaving comments on Blogger sites that don’t have verification. For some reason I keep getting an error message and so I had to use my wordpress account to post. I don’t even get along with wordpress, but it let me leave comments without any issues.
Edda Tan
October 19, 2017 at 1:32 amMy husband; he’s more difficult than my father or brother! So much so sometimes he goes without a gift for a few months before I can fin something he’ll like.
Edda Tan
October 19, 2017 at 1:36 amMy husband is even more difficult than my father or brother! So much so that sometimes he goes without a gift for a few months before I find something he’ll like.
Margery C
October 19, 2017 at 2:00 amMy in laws are the hardest to buy for. They don’t need much and they have a tiny place.
Izzy Scrap
October 19, 2017 at 3:22 amReally gorgeous card with these so delicate and intricate white snowflakes ! Love it ! The hardest persons to buy for are my parents (they already have everything !) and my 16 year’s old son !
Janet Ingraham
October 19, 2017 at 4:37 amMy mom is so hard to buy for as she is 90 and is always in process of getting rid of things, has a small space and has everything she needs. I’m too old for her to put my art on the fridge
Gilda (McStamper)
October 19, 2017 at 6:44 amLove the snowflakes and pine cones. Great sets. My children are hard to buy for. They can get about anything they want, so it’s takes some creative thinking to come up with a gift for them.
Heidi H
October 19, 2017 at 7:07 amThese are beautiful sets that could be used throughout winter. The hardest person to buy for is my Dad, because he is so exceedingly generous, and yet doesn’t really need or want anything for himself.
LisaJ
October 19, 2017 at 7:51 amLove these pretty sets!
My daughter is the hardest person to shop for. We have completely opposite tastes and it’s safe to say that if I love something she’ll hate it!
Patricia Butler
October 19, 2017 at 8:15 amGorgeous snowflakes! I know they everyone is different and these are delicate and delightful! Love them!
Martina D.
October 19, 2017 at 8:32 amI love the Pinecone Greeting! The hardest person to shop for on my list is my brother. Poor guy. Almost every year I end up getting him t-shirts…lol but he needs them and wears them!
Von Marie Design
October 19, 2017 at 8:46 amGorgeous card!! I love that background!! The snowflakes are beautiful!!!
georgina tutt
October 19, 2017 at 10:03 amI love the snowflakes and that background is to die for! The hardest to shop for i would say are my hubby and daddy they have everything!
Marianne
October 19, 2017 at 10:19 amWonderful new sets. Love the elegance of the snowflakes and the versatility of the pinecone stamps. We don’t exchange gifts at Christmas, so I never have to worry about buying any presents.
Maryam

Deborah Kaye

Tracy
October 19, 2017 at 1:27 pmMy husband is becoming the hardest person to shop for. He has expensive hobbies!
Shona Chambers
October 19, 2017 at 2:42 pmMy Mum, who doesn’t want us to spend anything at all but I just have to get her something. Wish I could buy her all the things she needs and wants!! These two sets are amazing by the way!!
JoAnn Burnham
October 19, 2017 at 2:45 pmLove the pretty snowflakes and the pine boughs and acorn sets.
The hardest person to buy for are my grown grandchildren so I usually just give them money so they can get what they want. It is easier that way. 🙂
Amy M
October 19, 2017 at 3:22 pmThose are some dainty snowflakes!!! The hardest person to buy for in my family is my dad – he’s given up most of his hobbies and doesn’t need anything.
Judie Attard
October 19, 2017 at 3:58 pmOh my gosh the snowflakes are amazing!!! It would probably be my dad! He has everything already!!!
Anne Sasko
October 19, 2017 at 5:44 pmJust lovely.
Kate Darnell
October 19, 2017 at 6:31 pmYour card is so fetching!! Beautiful in its simplicity.
The hardest person to buy for is my husband. He never wants anything and says it is Christmas every day of the year at our house. Same response for birthday’s, anniversaries,…
What’s a girl to do???
irene Grau
October 19, 2017 at 6:43 pmI love that big snowflake. It reminds me of a peacock’s spray, too. And the hardest person to buy for is probably my dad — not because of what to get him, but what he’ll say about it. He’s not beyond biting criticism. lol
Marjorie Dumontier
October 19, 2017 at 10:11 pmOh my goodness !!! The snowflakes set is so amazingly gorgeous !!
Valerija
October 20, 2017 at 3:45 amI just love this wonderful new release.
The hardest to buy for is my husband. He never don’n need anything.
Liz mca
October 20, 2017 at 7:31 amHardest person is my husband. He buys himself things h3 wants. He is like a little kid that can’t wait when he wants something. I guess as we get older we need less …except for craft supplies… so gifting gets harder. My grandma used to say. Don’t get me anything I have to dust.
Christine Smith
October 20, 2017 at 7:58 amGorgeous card! Beautiful! Any men’s pressi’s I find really hard so always ask their partners if they have one! xxx
Lizz Forte
October 20, 2017 at 8:58 amThe hardest person to buy for is my husband. He buys whatever he wants whenever so it makes Christmas difficult!
Iris Soscia
October 20, 2017 at 11:12 amMy two adult daughters are tough to buy for so I stick to checks and gift cards. Always the right size and the right color!
Love the beautiful snowflakes.
Terri Scott = terriavidreader
October 20, 2017 at 12:16 pmthe snowflakes especially are gorgeous!
jessica kerr

The hardest person to buy a present is my hubby.
Lisa Petrella
October 20, 2017 at 3:32 pmSo gorgeous!!!! I absolutely LOVE all of the new products you shared today!!!
Shari Czerwinski
October 20, 2017 at 4:24 pmMy son is by far the hardest person to buy gifts for. He’s super picky, and has expensive taste! Also I’m kind of addicted to pine cones so this set would be amazing!
Jacqueline V
October 20, 2017 at 5:10 pmMy Dad…hands down. He doesn’t really need anything and the things I’d really like to get him are way too expensive. I usually end up making him cookies and giving him gift cards to Dairy Queen.
jacki rominger
October 20, 2017 at 7:32 pmMy husband is by far the hardest person to buy for. He’s not into material things and if he wants something he usually goes out and purchases it. Love the pine cones.
Wendy Falk
October 21, 2017 at 11:18 amFirst I would just like to say that these 2 sets of stamps make my heart skip!! They are beautiful and so versatile ~ I love the way they are shown too! Ok – this is no joke! The hardest person for me to shop for is my Dad!!!!! No matter what me or the kids come up with he thanks us and gives it back!! One year I splurged & got him a weather station with all of the bells & whistles. After he gave it back I was to his house helping out & in the back yard, there it was . . . . a new weather station!!! At least I know he liked what we got him as he went out & got his own!! All of us laugh about it, but oh my, he is difficult to buy for!
Lisascreativeniche
October 21, 2017 at 1:12 pmMy mom! I want something meaningful but she’s so hard to get Ideas from! Love your snowflakes so dainty!
tina z. (treebug)
October 22, 2017 at 5:33 pmwow, amazing card with stunning background!
My husband is the hardest person to buy for – he doesn’t want/need anything, so I usually buy him a book because he loves reading …
Lian Admiraal
October 23, 2017 at 12:31 pmThe hardest? Hmm my boyfriend for sure. I like to buy a gift but he always wants money instead 😬
