Aloha August!

New month, new stamp and die hard club sets at The Stamps of Life!  You're definitely not going to want to miss this set:  beautiful!  PLUS, exciting TSOL anniversary celebrations are coming up; including, free items and and online class!  Be sure to check out their website and facebook for more information!  HURRY!  :)

FIRST!  This fish fold it!  This is a limited Edition, so once it's sold out, it's gone fooorrreevvver. If you love it, go get it! Isn't is adorable!?  All those pieces die cut out, btw, so extra easy peasy putting it together any way you like. :)  I also added the flower by using this month's die hard club set, which will be available on the 20th for non club members.  If you're a club member, then you probably already have it or will very soon.

 This month's stamp set is tropical2stamp and who doesn't love hibiscus? We have some in our yard. They're beautiful!  Of course, they inspire tropical/beach/vacation.....   I created this card using the stamps and dies along with lemonade2drink which I colored using TSOL markers directly onto my stamp, and filled in/touched up with colored pencil. I also used the oval stitch only dies to frame it.

 There's also a companion set solids4tropical (as of 8/7), it's sold out, but it'll be back soon.  The solids for the inside part of the leaves reminded me of little Christmas trees, so...... a tropical Christmas card was born. lol!  I also used the small dotted background die as a stencil to add a little extra detail to my stamped background.
