on the grid...

grid 2 die set has been released today at The Stamps of Life!  There are other new dies released today, too, that you should check out. :)

There's lots of great possibilities for this die set, but I immediately saw window....   I created this wintery Christmas card using the snowman2build stamp set from TSOL, along with the little tree/candycane from the stockings2stamp set and the little snowflake from stamp2build.   I sprayed the whole thing with white perfect pearls for some winter shimmer. :)

 This next card I used a sizzix drop in die set called lovely.  I added the grid on top, then the thinking of you and hearts. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

I also used my fave stitched rectangle dies as well as stars from the star triplits, plus the balloon die.. it's from sizzixSB/tsol, but I can't remember which set. whoops. 

cute scarecrow!

It's no secret that I love The Stamps of Life products and being on the Design Team.  Every time I get a DT package, it's like Christmas. ;)  When I saw this set, I was so excited!  If you ask me what my fave season is, I'll always say summer, but......... I LOVE ALL THINGS FALL! Since I live in Southern California, I kinda get to have summer like weather and fall...   Anyhow, RELEASED TODAY.....

Scarecrow2stamp! So cute, right? I used the stamps/dies for this card along with pumpkins2stamp and dies on the kind sentiment step up card die set and sizzix fence.  

Best Teacher!

The Stamps of Life stamp set this month isn't designed to be a teacher set, but it IS an apple set and the coordinating stamp set this month with patterns4apples includes a "best teacher" stamp........ so... school is about to start, get ready!  :) 

My son is starting middle school this year. I'm scared. lol!  I created this card using the apples2stamp and patterns4apples set, plus the stitched rectangle dies.  You'll note I use those a lot!  I love them! :)  I also used wood heart embellishments from TSOL, and stamped on them using the apple patterns, too. :)
