3-d popup drop in.... what!?

Ok!  New items over at The Stamps of Life and they are awesome!  One is my new favorite!

but first.... new background die that is really cute and full of fun possibilities:  medium dotted background die set.

I used it on this card front.  I sponged on ink and added glimmer spray, but it's hard to tell in the photo.

and now.......... the 3-d popup drop in set!

This is awesome!  You can use any background die and make it pop out for a fun, cool surprise!  The set comes with everything you see in the first card I made here except for the chicken (farmanimals2stamp) and the little flower stickers.

 Another, but I used the stitched window grid die set along with bugs and flower dies from the TSOL HSN exclusive shadowbox die set, card kit stamps, and thinking of you die.

 and........you don't have to use a background die, you can use dies to cut out a shape.  In this case, I used a rectangle die and added some dolphins2stamp images (actually card kit paper die cut using the dolphins2stamp dies).

A must have set!  You'll have so much fun with it!  :)

Hello Kenny

Two new stamp sets over at The Stamps of Life....

lotsofhellos2stamp

Hola, hi, bonjour.... set of 9 stamps to make sweet hello cards just because and brighten someone's day.

I created this card using a few of the stamps on the exclusive flip it:

 The stephiedoll1 stamp set was a big hit and immediately the requests for a kenny doll stamp started coming in...... here he is!  Kennydoll1

I created this card by pairing him up with Stephiedoll1, tsol border dies, and houses4us.

He also has a dog!  So cute!

ready for a picnic!?

I can't believe it's July already!  Perfect time for a picnic, and perfect time to make picnic theme cards!  This month's stamp club and die hard sets at The Stamps of Life is picnic2stamp and it's soooo cute!  BUT!!  know what's even cuter!? pairing it up with the new picnic table fold it card die set!

oh, and there's a companion set..... solids4picnic that you need, too!

 ...the fold it!  cutest, right?  This card is using both picnic sets along with the bearpudgie27 and the balloons from elephantpudgie19

 with.....goodies4toast

 with corgis2stamp

 and what would I love relaxing at a picnic table?  yep!  coffee! coffee4two

New fold it!

Fold-it's are a favorite!  There's a new must have over at The Stamps of Life:  Pineapple fold it.

Here is one I created using the new die set along with the stamps from pineapple2stamp and sayings4pineapple. 

Stand up and say...

There's a new stand up die set at The Stamps of Life that you need! 

The word stand up card die set and it says HELLO! It's a drop in set, so be sure to also get the Word stand up extras that have the words SMILE, LOVE, and THANKS.

Here are a few cards I created to share with you:

The flower and leaf sprigs come with the set as well as the stitched rectangle layering dies.

 This is the card I made my dad for Father's Day.  Any of the alphabet dies would work, but the Newport Alphabet dies used here went perfectly, I thought. :)

The best part... a card that wows and it is so easy to make with these dies designed by Stephanie Barnard!

Dolphins!

This month's stamp club and die hard club sets at The Stamps of Life are dolphins, and it couldn't be any cuter!

I was so excited to see this set. I love it!  dolphins2stamp

Here are two cards I created to share with you:

This one is using the fun pocket slider card die from The Stamps of Life. 

This one is using the 5X7 shadow box die set from The Stamps of Life that was exclusive to HSN.  Good news: it sold out!  Bad news: if you didn't get it, you missed out :( 

 Along with the dolphins and fish swimming and playing in the ocean, I created the background using a past stamp club set:  lighthouse2stamp. It paired beautifully!   TSOL has many awesome sets that can create amazing Ocean/beach theme cards.  You can find them under SUMMER.

Final link up....

My last link up to the Spring/Summer coffee loving papercrafters blog hop.

 I bought the coffee kit from white rose crafts, and it included this super adorable cowfee loving cow stamp set in it by little acres designs. I paired it up with my The Stamps of Life chickens/sun/hey chickie to create this cute little card.

 

fringe dies!

The Stamps of Life just released (it's currently on sale) a fringe die set. It's a set of 2 of different sizes, and they are so easy and fun to use.

I used the dies to cut different patterned paper for a fun layering of paper for this card.  TSOL has that super cute llama2stamp stamp and die set, but did you know that they are now making paper pads for their card kits that sometimes has some of their stamp images printed that fit the dies?  If you don't have the die, no worries, just fussy cut.  However, who wants to do that?  lol!  I used my llama die to cut this guy from PP and I didn't even have to color him.  Quick and easy!  :)

 You can also die cut that strip of fringe and then roll it up to create fun flowers!  I used both sizes with felt for this pretty little flower.  Again, I used the jar2stamp die to cut that printed jar from PP.  So easy! 

Caffeine gets me kraken..... #5

Linking up my 5th card to the Coffee Loving papercrafters Spring/Summer blog hop! :)

These poor sea creatures need some perking up. lol!  Shark, Octopus, crab and sayings are from the Rabbit Hole Designs.....

 

The fish and "coral" (actually a succulent) are from The Stamps of Life.

I colored this with colored pencils and gamsol, brushed/dabbed some blue ink for water, and then dug out my old Stampin Up clear embossing glaze.  I only did one layer...  This was a really fun card to make on this lazy, rainy day.
