Ribbon Edge with drop ins

Super excited about the newest drop in card die from The Stamps of life.

This is the Ribbon Edge with drop ins card die..

It works similar to the Elegant Edge A2 card die.

Both of these dies make it so easy to make amazing cards!

I used the new Halloween2build set for this card too.

This new die is going to get a work out in my craft room for sure!

Stop by the gallery and check out all the fun samples!

Halloween2build

Today I have another Halloween card to share with you.

I used the new Halloween2build for this card but I didn't make a standard A2 size.  Instead, this one is 4" x 8 1/2" and it fits in a #10 envelope.

This new set is so much fun to play with.

I love how you can  mix and match the faces!

I know I will be making many more cards with it soon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Shaker

 Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L are so sweet and generous to the Stampendous Design Team!  

They make the most wonderful products, and our team has been creating some terrific projects for you to see! We’ll be posting all week here, on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog, and on our Design Team blogs as well!!!

Today I have another fun shaker card that I created with their 

 Crafty Foam Tape.

I used the new Bubbling Trouble stamp.

It's hard to get a good picture because the light reflects off the acetate window but I think you get the idea.

The inside is filled with black sequins.

The ribbon is from May Arts.

The sentiment is from the Fall Arrangement Perfectly Clear Stamp Set.

I hope you enjoyed my shaker card today.
