Bummer - I chose not to do Filofax size planners because it’s slightly too small for my daily planner.
But they are so pretty! I really like them. And Elizabeth crafts dies cut so nicely. Too bad I don’t do December daily

I absolutely love them too! If someone would make dies like that to fit 6x8, I'd be giddy! Thanks for sharing that, grammadee ! I just dropped some serious money on those dies/red planner for my very first December Daily. Things haven't been too good around here lately so I thought I'd treat myself to something new. I chatted with Angelica while shopping, and she said the planner itself is about 6 1/2" wide by 9 1/4" high. The inside pages (and the size of the dies for that) are about 4 3/4" wide and about 8 1/4" high. She said those pages will fit in a Filofax. so they must be a common size. I ordered the Planner Essential dies #12 (arrow and trees),#13 (winter inset), #14 (bookmark #1) and #16 (Christmas Tree page) for my DD, and I also ordered the #4 so I could cut a plain regular sized page. I love the little die of the pickup truck (#16) and I know I can use some dies I already have for this. I ordered the red planner for this year. I'm not too crazy about the slots in the front of the planner, but hope I can use a different one next year. I figure I have enough Christmas paper already and can use up what I have here with these dies. There are Facebook pages dedicated to this system, the Elizabeth Craft Designs Family (closed group) and the ECD Planner Group. I joined both so I can get some ideas on how to use all this! Oh, and she also gave me a code to save 15% (WELCOME15) so go ahead and knock yourself out, girls! I saved $20 on my order, so that's one free die set! Have fun shopping! Sometimes retail therapy is a necessity! Hope things are better soon. Update us with a review when your goodies arrive.

In case you missed the IG comment - the green linen album is the 3x8 this year. I did miss that! YAY! I was afraid it was going to be the white star foiled one. I'm going to do 3x8 again this year I think...Although last year's is super super thick and wouldn't fit in an album. hmmm...Well green linen will be so useful for so much for me.

I love this thread! I don't use planners, but my Christmas stash is outta control and is all mixed in with Winter, so first order of business is to organize the two. Then I want to take all the slightly ugly paper and cut it up (#loveitchopit) for cardmaking, see if I can turn trash into treasure (I am thinking a lot of K and Company) and then I can really see what I have to work with. I also want to purge my christmas stamps. I tend to hunker down and literally skip christmas scrapping as it is so overwhelming. But 2018 really takes the cake for an awful Christmas (my gram died just before) and so I am hoping 2019 will be a bit better. I still have christmas 2016, and 17 tho. The shame...

I thought I was safe from buying any of these lovely dies. But they fit in a Filofax? And there is a discount? My wallet is doomed I tell you, doomed. PSA- the Hobby Lobby Agenda 52 is a Filofax size. And they have a lovely gold one that would work beautifully for a DD album. Just sayin'

Just saw this. Those i might need. I have a gazillion chipboard sets and am not a fan of the rubber pieces this time, so it might be the main kit, an album, and these. Everything else can come from my stash. (I hope)

Cute envelopes but I wonder how much they’ll be. I should try and repurpose one of the many plastic envelopes I still have lying around from Ali’s kits.

Thanks for the good idea! I was originally thinking something more complicated than vinyl as well. I am an over thinker!

I'm hoping it won't be more than $20 -- same cost as her DD Product Play class. Who knows maybe it will be free a Holiday gift for her good customers!

The only way I think Ali will do anything free is if she includes with a promo of 'buying the whole kit' or spend some crazy amount to get it free.

Cool and cute! Thanks for sharing. Great idea to let the December Peas know. It looks like this release was on nobody's radar before you mentioned it. Glad to read some folks fell for it and treated themselves to a nice little DD gift! the green linen album is the 3x8 this year. 'Tis such a pretty colour. I have a thing for cool greens. And pine trees. Im hoping the red album doesn't have writing on it. Seems unlikely though! Wishful thinking and all that jazz... I ordered the Planner Essential dies #12 (arrow and trees),#13 (winter inset), #14 (bookmark #1) and #16 (Christmas Tree page) for my DD, and I also ordered the #4 so I could cut a plain regular sized page. I love the little die of the pickup truck (#16) and I know I can use some dies I already have for this. I ordered the red planner for this year. Oh, and she also gave me a code to save 15% (WELCOME15) so go ahead and knock yourself out, girls! I saved $20 on my order, so that's one free die set! Glad you managed to score such a nice code and find loads of items you like! I hope your goodies reach you soon so you can start playing with them! my Christmas stash is outta control and is all mixed in with Winter, so first order of business is to organize the two. Then I want to take all the slightly ugly paper and cut it up (#loveitchopit) for cardmaking, see if I can turn trash into treasure (I am thinking a lot of K and Company) and then I can really see what I have to work with. I also want to purge my christmas stamps. Cut it up, make stuff, puuuurge! It'll feel so liberating (and you'll have some space for new goodies in case you fall in love with any Christmas/winter products this year). Freckled Fawn will be releasing a Christmas kit this year Echoing what others have said: thanks so much for letting us know! I was just thinking "you could cut your own vinyl and adhere it to an old envelope"... :X Great idea, dawnnikol ! For anyone without an electronic die-cut machine, you could order a set of thin/elongated puffy alpha Thickers (and add a bit of good glue on the back before adhering) to spell out your word. The Heidi Swapp candy cane alpha puffy would be perfect for this project. Feed Your Craft holiday stuff to be announced in the next newsletter, so this time next month I think Thanks for letting us know! I'll update the OP. Yes she said in November... hopeful for this event. I'm hoping it won't be more than $20 -- same cost as her DD Product Play class. Who knows maybe it will be free a Holiday gift for her good customers! Well, I guess I can just repeat *that* David Rose gif...

Another sneak. This doesn't seem to be anything special to me, but then I've never been much of a fan of die cut packs. It gives away more of the color scheme... and that yellow color is back. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1I695xgaVV

It looks a little less mustardy puke than last year’s yellow. Anyway, the dies aren’t speaking to me either. And is it probably just me, but are the aesthetics and colors not cohesive in this collection?

Not digging the font mix in the die-cut sneak. But then again, that's a recurring problem I have with AE. More "hello" and "the story of" as well which I'm completely over.

So much would work with a standard December Daily. i love love that tree but I just won’t work in my planner I wish they would leave off the holes & do those separately. If they did I’d have bought about 4 sets already. So much would be perfect in my planner if only the holes weren’t there. 😕
