A Very Merry Frightmas! 🎄
The Gathering of the Winter Souls
Step into a Christmas where the extraordinary feels right at home...
When the church bells ring on Christmas Eve and the snow settles upon the cobbled streets, an ancient legend comes to life.
Beneath the glow of Victorian lanterns, six extraordinary souls gather to celebrate a Christmas unlike any other. From Belladonna Frost and her forgotten magic to the beautiful Lady of the Lantern, a mysterious gentleman, a noble wolf, a mischievous gargoyle and a rather magnificent Father Christmas, each has a little wonder to share.
Welcome to A Very Merry Frightmas!, a richly detailed 166-piece scrap kit blending Gothic Victorian elegance with the warmth and enchantment of an old-fashioned Christmas.
Discover sumptuous burgundy velvet, antique-gold filigree, frosted winter florals, exquisite jewels, charming woodland creatures, festive curiosities and a wonderful collection of coordinating papers, masks and word art.
A little Gothic glamour, a touch of mischief and a whole lot of Christmas magic!
Because even the most unusual souls deserve somewhere to belong at Christmas. ❤️

Moonlight Mischief ❄️🐭
When the woodland sleeps… the mischief begins!
Whoever said the forest goes to sleep after dark clearly hasn't met this lot!
Beneath a silver winter moon, two adventurous little mice have discovered that frozen ponds make excellent skating rinks, squirrels are surprisingly good at organising parties, and badgers are absolutely convinced they know everything.
Add a few mischievous woodland friends, some glowing acorn lanterns, a generous helping of snow and one or two spectacular skating disasters, and you have Moonlight Mischief!
A whimsical winter wonderland filled with frosty florals, cosy woodland creatures, moonlit magic and all the little treasures needed to create your own enchanting winter scenes.
Lovingly created in our signature Thistles & Pixels™ storybook style, where even the tiniest creatures have the grandest adventures.
So wrap up warm, follow those tiny footprints and join the fun.
Just remember… what happens on the frozen pond stays on the frozen pond! 🤣
The Little Button House
A Very Merry Mousemas! 🐭🎄
A Thistles & Pixels™ Christmas Collection
150 Pieces of Vintage Christmas Magic!
Somewhere in a forgotten corner of Mrs Wetherby's sewing room, beneath a jumble of ribbons, lace and mismatched buttons, lives a very special little family.
Welcome to The Little Button House, where cotton reels become furniture, matchboxes become beds, and even the tiniest scraps of fabric are stitched together with love.
Christmas is approaching, and the Button family are busy preparing for the most wonderful time of the year.
Grandma Pudding is baking, Grandpa Buttons is causing his usual sewing mishaps, little Tilly has a very special Christmas surprise, and Baby Nibbles has discovered something rather precious.
As for Montgomery?
Well, somebody really ought to confiscate the tinsel. 🤣
Inspired by the gentle charm of 1930s–1940s Christmas storybooks, A Very Merry Mousemas! is a collection of 150 lovingly created pieces, filled with adorable characters, miniature furniture, vintage sewing treasures, delicate florals, patchwork fabrics and cosy Christmas details.
Dressed in nostalgic shades of antique rose, faded blue, soft sage, buttercream and vintage cranberry, this collection is perfect for Christmas tags, scrapbook pages and all those little creations that need a touch of old-fashioned magic.
And because every little house deserves its own story, I've included The Little Button House — A Very Merry Mousemas!, a heartwarming tale of family, memories, mischief and a very special golden button.
You'll find the illustrated story scroll alongside a separate text version, so you can settle down with a cuppa and enjoy the whole adventure.
150 items, countless little stitches, and a whole lot of love.
I hope you enjoy creating with this collection as much as I enjoyed bringing our little Button family to life.
And remember...
For every little stitch holds a memory, every button tells a story, and the smallest hearts can hold the greatest love.
With love,
Thistles & Pixels™

🦃 Trevor – The Great Glen Turkey Hunt! 🦃
Meet Trevor. Accidental hero, professional panicker and quite possibly the only turkey in Scotland suffering from a permanent nervous breakdown!
After saving the day, Trevor thought his troubles were over. Then someone mentioned Christmas dinner...
Cue absolute chaos, three disgruntled hens, one very confused turkey and enough drama to keep the entire Glen entertained!
Will Trevor get his happy ending? Or is someone reaching for the cranberry sauce?
One turkey. Three hens. A whole lot of trouble!
Although predominantly a Christmas kit, The Great Glen Turkey Hunt is wonderfully versatile, with plenty of elements equally at home in Thanksgiving creations. Whether you're celebrating Christmas or Thanksgiving, Trevor and his feathered friends are ready to bring a little Scottish mischief to the festivities!
Another daft wee tale from Thistles & Pixels™. 🤣
The Glen Remembers
History Lives in Kindness
Some stories are written in books, others are carried in the hearts of those who remember.
The Glen Remembers is a heartfelt collection inspired by the beauty of the Scottish Highlands, the warmth of family memories and the quiet importance of honouring those who came before us.
Among the heather-covered hills, ancient stone walls and winding Highland paths, little reminders of the past are everywhere. A faded photograph, a treasured letter, a glowing lantern or a simple red poppy can tell a story that deserves never to be forgotten.
With its nostalgic characters, traditional Scottish details, autumn florals and keepsakes from days gone by, this collection celebrates not only remembrance and sacrifice, but also the love, kindness and memories passed from one generation to the next.
Featuring 90 items, including character tubes, elements, florals, papers, masks and word art, the kit has been lovingly created for you to tell your own stories through your artwork.
Because remembrance isn't only about looking back. It's about carrying those memories forward.
Those who gave so we could live. Lest we forget. ❤️

🍂 Whispers of Autumn 🍂
A Little Autumn Magic from Thistles & Pixels™
There's a special kind of magic in autumn, when the leaves turn to gold, the air grows crisp, and the world seems to slow down just enough for us to notice its little wonders.
Whispers of Autumn is a whimsical collection inspired by cosy woodland walks, knitted scarves, steaming cups of something lovely, playful little companions and the gentle beauty of the changing seasons.
Wrapped in soft sage, dusty lavender, warm amber and earthy autumn tones, this storybook-inspired scrap kit is filled with charming characters, beautiful seasonal details and plenty of little treasures to bring your creations to life.
Whether you're creating a cosy autumn tag, a seasonal keepsake or something entirely your own, I hope this collection brings a little warmth, imagination and a smile to your day.
So pull on your favourite boots, grab a warm cuppa and come wandering through autumn with me. 🍁
Created with love and a little Scottish whimsy.
