You are awesome

Hey there! I'm just dropping in to share with you a card I created for a friend using this month's stamp/die set from The Stamps of Life.

The stamp set, bandages2stamp, I only used the heart stamp. I used the die set, Bandage dies, to cut out the bandages and little hearts. I cut the center heart for my shaker using Sizzix framelit heart dies.  I also cut the border papers using the new exclusive stitched rectangle border set from The Stamps of Life.

You are awesome is a little stamp from the Sizzix tags & words set. It fit perfectly on the bandage that I stamped using Guava ink from TSOL.  This card is for a friend who is going to nursing school. :)

The little shaker bandages/hearts I found at party city.  It's part of a doc mcstuffins pack or something like that: a kid show my son didn't watch, but I see it in the girl toy section of the stores when I'm shopping for gifts for my niece. :)  

Anyway.......... here's my card (papers/ribbon from TSOL):

It was hard to photo with glare. ;)  TFL!!  Have a great weekend! 

New dies released at TSOL today! :)

New dies have been released today at The Stamps of Life.  :)

If you're not a die hard club member, the bandage dies that coordinate with the stamp of the month is now available for purchase.

There's a fun and handy numbers die set called quirky numbers.  I used those on this card below for the 2016 and the "hashtag" symbol. ;)   Other dies I used on this card from The Stamps of Life:  Happy, Celebrate, and rectangle dies.  The star die is also TSOL.

 and another new release is this cool happy birthday circle die set.  It's a set of two: the happy birthday and then another circle border circle.  Did that make sense?  ha ha.  The holes were perfect, I thought, to weave some twine though.  The card is a sizzix large circle die flip it set. All papers and embellishments are from TSOL!  :)

BUNNY2STAMP

I love Easter!  This weekend I worked on some Easter cards using the new stamp/die set from The Stamps of Life called bunny2stamp.

 First up, using papers, ribbon, brads, and felt by The Stamps of life, I created this cute bunny2stamp step card using the Sizzix Kind Sentiments step card die set, along with The Stamps of Life mini flower dies.  For the just for you, I die cut clear contact paper using the square the die that comes with the kit, attached it sticky side up to the just for you, and the sprinkled/rubbed on glitter to create a clear but glittery background.  

Again, papers, felt, and ribbon by The Stamps of Life.  I also used my custom ink pad I created to stamp the sentiment with a colorful ombre look.  To learn more about that, click HERE.

and lastly, yet another using the same products, but the Sizzix Elegant stand up card die set.    TFL!

Stitched rectangle border set

*NEW* EXCLUSIVE at The Stamps of Life........  stitched rectangle die set!  

I was so excited to see this new set. I just love it!  Here's a card I created using three of the rectangles which layer perfectly.  I also used the Miss you circle die which has a stitched border die as well, so I thought they went together well.   The tags are from the Sizzix tags & words set, and all papers and twine from The Stamps of Life.

 For this rectangle flip it card, I layered the smaller stitched border dies together, including a smaller one that I stamped Hello on using Stephanie Barnard's colorbox ink, Gingersnap.  Did you know she has a large line of inks that all coordinate with her papers/cardstock/embellishments?  Check them out here.

NEW!!

Lots of new stamps released today at The Stamps of Life!  

As I posted on the first, the new stamp club set at TSOL is bandage2stamp.  Now there is a coordinating set words4bandages.  :)   I used the dies for that set as well (available on the 20th if you're not a die hard club member), and created this step up card using the sizzix/sb kind sentiments die set.  Papers and ribbon from TSOL. :)

 For this card I used the sizzix/sb oval flip it card die set to create this cute card with... BUNNY2STAMP! it's NEW!  Easter is my fave, and this set is adorable!!  I also used mini flower dies.  Papers and ribbon from TSOL. *oh!  and there's dies to go with the bunny2stamp.  woohoo!

 and lastly, for today, a new stamp set called flowers2diefor.  It coordinates with sizzix flower layers and leaf dies.  Using tsol inks, embellishments, twine and papers, I created this card using the sizzix greetings scalloped edge dropins set.

Check them all out at TSOL!  :)
