unBEARably cute!

Did you see this month's pudgie that was released at The Stamps of Life?

Bearpudgie27 is sooooooooooo CUTE! 

Look at the sweet bear face.  I think he needed to be paired up with some honey and cute honey bees:  hive4bees and bee4me. Also used stitched rectangle die and dotted oval die.....

 Sending bear hugs to you with this exclusive flip it card from The Stamps of Life.  You definitely need this cute bear pudgie set. 

wow!

The Stamps of Life has just released an envelope liner die set!  How cool is that!?  Now you can coordinate your envelopes with your cards to really wow your recipients! 

It's a set of 4:  three patterns and the main liner die.  Here I used the circle dies with the liner as well as stamping on it before placing it inside the envelope.  Now it goes perfectly with the my coffee theme card using the coffee4two stamp set.

I also used the stamp sets highlighters4planners and stamp2build for the addresses.......

Pretty cool, huh?  You need this, you really do!

Happy card making (and envelope lining) :)

Novemeber stamp club set you're going to llama...

...I mean LOVE!  Llama2stamp is this month's stamp club and diehard club set, and it's adorable!

Here are two cards I created using the set:

Here I used the cute llama with a little added felt, too. This is on the Sizzix circle stand up card die set.

 This card I created using two Llamas peeking over a wall over coffee paper... (yay collection at TSOL). Don't be a drama llama.... the saying inside is using the stamp that says "when all else fails, hug a llama", but I masked out the hug a llama part and used stamps from the Coffee statement set from TSOL...   with a gift card included, so there's no prob llama doing just that. :) 

Super fun, trendy set that you must have for your collection if you're not already a member at The Stamps of Life.

Get well soon

New circle word die GET WELL SOON was just released at The Stamps of Life...

It fits perfectly on the TSOL exclusive flip it card die....  look how cute it is with that bee paper and stamps hive4bees. This would cheer you up, right? 

limited edition

Merry Christmas die set of 2 (word and shadow) is a limited edition over at The Stamps of Life.  Once it's sold out, it's gone, so go get yours now. It's so pretty!  

Here are a few cards I created using it along with other TSOL stamps and products:

Elves2stamp

Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard square stand up card die set, sayings4santa, and mini bow die,and Santa Claus is coming to town die....

 Snowman2build and the snowflake is from the mitten dies (mittens2stamp)

flash sales!

Hurry!  Two new Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard products are available at The Stamps of Life at Flash sale prices! 

The Happy Birthday 3-D drop in sentiment die to make your greeting literally pop out when it's opened is a beautiful font.  I also used the Sizzix star card front die, Sizzix star triplit dies, Tsol balloons2cutandstamp, and blocksentiments2stamp.  All can be found at The Stamps of Life website.

 Another fun popping greeting:  Sizzix Hello Friend 3-Drop in sentiment.  What a nice card to send to a friend. I used the lady bug pudgie set and papers with this card from The Stamps of Life. 

October Pudgie...

There's a new pudgie stamp and die set at The Stamps of Life, and it's soooooo CUTE!  

Elephantpudgie19

I created this card using the sizzix happy birthday step up card die set

Adorable, right?  :)  You definitely need to add this set to your collection.

scallop card drop in.......

Sizzix card scallop drop in set was released this week and I think it's a new favorite of mine. It's sooo pretty!

Here are a couple of cards I created using the set, along with some stamps and dies from The Stamps of Life.

Teachermouse2stamp and dies, mousepudgie2stamp for the cheese die....

 For this card I used the awesome border dies to create a happy little scene. Flowers with stems die set, little happy sun from the sizzix tree step up card die set, bee4me, along with stitched rectangle dies and dotted rectangle dies....

You definitely want this drop in card die set in your collection. :)

I'll toast to that!

It's October and there's a new stamp club and die hard club set out, AND some fun companion sets, too!  It's fun and you'll be popping out some cute cards with them...........

Toast2stamp, moretoast2stamp, and goodies4toast:


Here's a card I created using just toast2stamp on the 5x7 flip it card die set.  A toast to butter days!  :)

 and... and then I added more toast2stamp to create this card using the Sizzix flower/sentiments scallop edge drop in and Sizzix greeting scallop edge drop in.  Toast to someone special's birthday!  :)

Here I used only the goodies4toast set with grid die set.
I love avocado toast with a fried egg on top.  Mmm!  The inside "perfectly" I stamped with alpha4planners; it's a little alphabet stamp and so handy to have even if you aren't a planner person (I'm not). 

 Aren't these a fun addition to your stash of stamps and dies?
