They go together for more fun ideas!

Happy Friday!  Two new awesome products have been released today at The Stamps of Life, and you're going to want them both!

A new fold it by Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard:  strawberry!!  A2 in size and so cute!!  Here's a card I made with it: I used stamps from strawberries2stamp, because they go with it berry well. ;) :)

 

 and...... the box it die!  An exclusive die from The Stamps of Life that will turn any of the fold-its into a fun box.  Awesome, right?

 Here's a goodie box I made using the cupcake fold it. You could use just the cupcake shape, but I decided to keep mine a card AND add it to the box, so... two in one!  and filled with yummy candy.

...but WAIT!

You don't have to use a fold-it's die.  I will work with other dies!  Check out these ideas:

House4cookie stamp/die.... (friends4cookie)

 Hotchocolate2stamp and dies..... (sayings4tshirt)

 Coffee4two stamps and dies..... (alpha from foxes2stamp dies)

SO FUN!  So many possibilities!  The Strawberry fold it and the box it die are both FLASH SALE ITEMS TODAY (2/15).

feeling lucky?

There's a great new Leprechaun2stamp (and die set) over at the Stamps of Life to get you ready to work on those St. Patrick's Day cards, banners, and scrapbook pages... or whatever else you think up!  (cupcake toppers, place cards....)

I have a couple of cards to share with you:

The Leprechaun set pairs perfectly with the rainbow2stamp set, of course. :)  tip: there's also a cute little rainbow in the unicorn pudgie set.

For the grass border, I used one from TSOL border dies set.

and the "lucky" horseshoe stamp can easily work with the cute horse stamp/die from the farmanimals2stamp set. 

 

pudgie!

ohmygosh you guys!  New pudgie this month at The Stamps of Life and it's a pig!  I think it's my favorite pudgie thus far.  So CUTE!

Pigpudgie21

I have two cards to share with you:

First one I paired him up with the also really cute sheep pudgie:  sheeppudgie13. Excuse the twine in her face.  I didn't notice until I had already sent the card off to TSOL headquarters. ;) 

 and this card.... I make a lot of cards, you know, and I'm pleased with most, but every now and then I love a card I make and this is one.  There's not much to it, except the pig is just so cute!!  I made "mud" using TSOL border dies and the mud splatters are using the water splash dies from the whale2stamp die set.  I also used rectangle dies, a dotted rectangle die and embellishments also from TSOL.  The googly eyes (with lashes!  I just love!) I got off of amazon. 

but wait......

he wobbles!!  I can't get the video to upload here, so.... check it out on my instagram page: vanessacardmaker and watch him go hog wild in the mud. lol!!  :) 

egg-citing new release today!!

A new LIMITED EDITION fold it card die was released today at The Stamps of Life: Easter egg fold it. 

Fold it's are probably my favorite? I think they're extra fun!  The Easter egg fold it is beautiful!  Not only is it egg shaped, but it comes with a floral front die that you can layer and mix and match..... so pretty!  I used it here along with the Easter statement word stamp/die set, and the sayings4butterfly set.  

 BUT!  don't limit it to just Easter......... Here's a quick, fun Valentine card I created making it a dinosaur egg.  Dino2stamp, and the happy valentine's day is from the icecreamtruck2stamp set....

 Go get one now!  Once it's sold out, they won't restock.
