Hello Friends!

I have been bad about posting this week because work has been so crazy but I finally had a few minutes to make a card tonight!

I feel like it is missing something but it's still a fun card!

I used the fence die, grass die, garden2stamp, and llama2stamp.

Here is the inside of the card.

Perfect for a teacher, coach, or mentor that you want to acknowledge.

Hubby is going to the ball game tomorrow night so hopefully I can get a little time to make another card!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello My Friend

Hello My Friend!

Today I am using the new 2" circle word dies.

I added one to the center of my flower fold-it.

Such an easy way to add sentiment.

I used another die for the inside too.  

The cool thing about these dies is that you can change out the outside of the circle so here I used the pointed edge!

Here is another look at this fun card straight on.

Remember that the fold-its are all A2 in size and fit in a standard envelope.

Thanks for stopping by!

Scallop Envelope Liner

Hello Friends!

Today I wanted to show you examples using all the options that comes with the new Scallop Envelope Liner die.

It is so much fun to decorate envelopes because it makes it just a little more special to give a card to that someone special.

The green one on top used the cross drop in die.

The pink one uses the heart drop in die.

The yellow one uses the flower drop in die.

And finally, the blue one was die cut with no drop in.

These are great dies to have on hand because you can use them for cards and for the envelope liners.

I love that you get at least two uses out of this set!

Thanks for stopping by!

Scallop Envelope Liner

I had some fun with the new Scallop envelope liner die.

I lined and envelope and then I made a matching card.

Here is another look at them from a different angle.

I used the strawberry foldit.

Here is the inside of my card.

I used stamps from the strawberries2stamp set.

The envelope liner is a great way to make your envelope special.

And it is so fun to match your card.

Another Banner

Did you see my "Love" banner that I shared yesterday?

Well today I flipped it over and decorated the back side.  I love creating dual purpose banners so that I can get more use out of all the paper that it takes to create a banner!

I created a baby banner on the backside using the same 3.5" Uppercase Alphabet dies.

For the end panels I used the Onsie4baby stamps and dies.

This banner die would make a great card too!

Hmmmm.....stay tuned :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Round Bottom Banner

A new Banner Die is being released today from the Stamps of Life!

It's rounded on the bottom and is so cute!

I thought it would be fun to make a banner to decorate the mantel in February!

I used the 3.5" Uppercase Alphabet Dies.

The ribbon is from The Stamps of Life too!

I used the Scallop Heart Fold it on the ends of the banner.

One last look at the banner!

Hope you enjoyed the inspiration!

Stop by tomorrow to see what I created on the backside of my banner!

Hello!

Hello Friends!

Did you see the new drop in word dies from 

the Stamps of Life?

I used the Hello/Celebrate set for this card.

I die cut "hello" out of the bottom of a blue card base and then added yellow cardstock to the inside.

I die cut the inside panel with the stitched rectangle die.

The butterflies on the front and the sentiment inside are from the Butterfly2stamp set.

Here is another look at it from a different angle.

Such a cool card!

I colored the butterflies with markers.

The paper is from the Birthday Wishes Patterned Paper.

That's it for me but be sure and stop by the Stamps of Life Gallery for more inspiration!

Anniversary Heart

Hello Friends!

Today I am sharing a Anniversary  card that I made with the new Trendy Anniversary word die.

This was a pretty quick and easy card because of all the cool dies from The Stamps of Life!

I didn't use any stamps for this card at all!

For the heart I used the Heart Fold it die.  The patterned paper is from the Wishes Collection pad.

The sentiment is the Trendy Anniversary word die.

And the bow is my favorite Mini Bow Die.

Anybody would be thrilled to receive this card!

It was so easy that I think I will whip up a few more to keep on hand!

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration.

Amazing Birthday

There is a new Sassy Birthday sentiment set at the Stamps of Life!

Here is a card that I made using one of the fun sentiments.

I used my favorite doggies from the friends4cookie set and cut them out with the matching dies.  Then I added them to the card with 3D foam.

The bow is the Minibow die.  Love this die!!!

 

I colored the images with prisma color pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

The paper is from the Birthday Wishes paper pad.

That's it!

A pretty quick and simple card that the recipient will LOVE!

Hope it inspires you to create something for someone you love!

Flower Drop in Card

I made another card with the new Sizzix Card Flowers drop in die.

I love how I get so many spare flowers when I use this die because it makes it easier to make the next one.  I've made 3 or 4 of these now and I have a baggie of spare flowers!

I didn't put a sentiment on this one which makes it perfect for almost any occassion!

Here is a closer look at how cool the flowers look.

This die is flying off the shelves so run to The Stamps of Life and get one quick!
