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!  :)

Sizzix umbrella triplit dies!

and... also released today... sizzix umbrella triplits! 

I used the umbrella triplits for this card, on the playful stand up card. 
The Get Well soon is from the large circle flip it card die set, BUT you can also currently buy a different Get Well Soon die/shadow as a flash sale over at TSOL.  Check it out!

 All papers for both cards are The Stamps of Life.  The Thanks stamp below is Sizzix.  The rainbow is part of the umbrella triplit set.  so cute. The cloud is not part of the set.

Oh for fox sakes!

I'm back with another link up for the Winter/Holiday coffee lovers blog hop.

My family name is Fox, so this is especially cute and funny.  I made this specifically for my uncle and his family; however, since it was a pretty quick and easy card to make, I think I'll make up a few more for the Foxes in my life.  ;)

The Fox and "Oh for Fox Sakes" is a Unity Stamp Co. stamp.  The "not a creature...." and "Coffee..." stamp is from Stamplorations Big Grins Caffeinated Christmas stamp set.  The snowflake and "Wishing you a..." stamp is from The Stamps of Life (as well as the inks), and the cute little mug is Newtons Nook and Celebrate stamped on the mug is from A Journey with Melissa.

Just a note.... thinking of you....

 Hey there!  Just wanted to let you know that there are new stamps over at The Stamps of Life with Stephanie Barnard.  :)

 Patterns4happymail to coordinate with the super cute happy mail club set that was released this month.  So fun!!  For this card, I embossed the side with the border dot embossing plate (it's a set with another pattern), and I added a little mailbox and saying inside...

A shaker card using the Lovely 3d drop in card set along with the happymail2stamp and patterns4happymail stamp sets.  Yay. I used my fuse tool.  ha!  Although, it doesn't shake very well...  hmmm. 

AND there's stamps that go with the recently released die sets titled bubbly.  They fit perfectly.  There's sayings and patterns.  Great addition if you hate these dies already...

or even if you don't!  Here's a card I stamped using that set. 

All stamps, dies, papers and inks are Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard and The Stamps of Life.  :)

You've got mail!

Happymail2stamp is the new stamp set for December at The Stamps of Life!  

I'm super excited about this set.  I had been thinking I wanted a happy mail stamp set, and was just about to order one from another stamp company when I received my DT package... and there it was!  A happy mail stamp set! I may or may not have danced a little happy dance...  ;) 

I have a few cards to share with you using the new set and dies (which are on their way if you're a die hard club member.  if you're not, the dies will be available on the 20th):

It's so nice to go out to the mailbox and see a card in it.  NOT a bill!  Right?  I created this card with the stamp/die set along with  Sizzix Basic step up card die, and the cute little smiling sun from the Sizzix Hello Sunshine triplit set. Papers from TSOL.

 and an envelope to mail it in....

 and another using the Sizzix 3d banner drop in set.  card front ^
