word stand up cards- CHRISTMAS!

Do you have the word stand up card die set?  If not, you need it!  It's so fun and sure to wow your recipients, BUT.. so easy to do since it's a die set from The Stamps of Life!

It comes with the word HELLO (and other decorative dies like flowers), AND there's an extra word die set you can purchase to go along with it, LOVE THANKS and SMILE. NOW there's CHRISTMAS WORD EXTRAS. The Christmas set is MERRY NOEL and HOHOHO

Here's a card I created using the Merry word, along with the Christmas statement set, Santa Claus is coming to town die, stitched rectangle die, snowflakes from the snowflake background die, santa hat from hats4critters, and a saying from sayings4santa.  Look how festive and fun! 

and other using with the NOEL... I added an ornament topper to the O, the floral/snowflake pieces come with the main set, and happy holidays is a new word die from TSOL.

Christmas is right around the corner..... 

must have dies!

Must have all new Stamps of Life dies, but ..... here are two you really need!  

This one you may already have as this is a RE-Release, a Stephanie Barnard Design from another company and NOW a Stamps of Life die. Yay!  If you don't have it.......... get it. Isn't it just beautiful?  It comes with the circle happy birthday die, but you can use this base for any of card making occasions.


It's the Floral Happy Birthday Drop in card die set.

 I am sooooo excited about this die!  Snowflakes!!  First, this is a snowflake background die, so it creates a beautiful snowflake background, BUT you can use the snowflake pieces as embellishments, so you're going to get a lot of use out of this for your winter/holiday cards. This card I used it with the cute morereindeer2stamp/die set along with the ribbon border die set, and a shape from the fancy frame flip it set.

Another idea using the snowflake background on part of the card, again with the ribbon border die set (this is a fave of mine!) and the hotchocolate2stamp/die set (but I prefer to make it coffee. lol).

AND.... you can also use the background die as a stencil!  On this card front, I used white ink on blue card stock and it came out so soft and pretty looking. Then I stenciled inside with blue.  The mittens2stamp and die set is another favorite......

ribbon edge card die set

NEW! at The Stamps of Life.... the Ribbon Edge A2 card die set and it's soooo pretty and the possibilities are endless. 

It uses the drop in technique so have different options on die cutting your card fronts (check out the website link above to see). Here are two cards I created to share with you:

This one I dropped in the dotted heart onto the card front with the dotted swirl.  Simple, but pretty!  I used the sayings4jar stamps (and dies), along with the ribbon border dies to create this card.

 Did you see this month's stamp club and die hard club set yet?  Pinecones2stamp!  So pretty!  I used that here with the new ribbon edge card set.  I used the card front with a solid swirl, but did not drop in anything in the middle. I decided to add the pinecones and flower die (comes with the card die set) instead.  

pinecones....

...2stamp is what you get this month for the Stamps of Life stamp club and die hard club sets, and it's beautiful!!

Here is a card I created just stamping. I sponged green over the pine needle stamps.... I also added a little smooch to the pinecones and sprayed the whole thing with shimmer spray (not from tsol). That huge season's greetings is a die that is part of the die set. WOW! 

 and then a more fun card 'cause you know the sets have to have some punny sayings, so I paired it up with the owl pudgie.  I created my own background paper using the stamps and then I used the small circle background die as a stencil over it. The word bubble dies are from a past card club kit.
