Ladybug Pudgie, Fancy Hearts & Spiros Dies & Scalloped Circles-The Stamps of Life

Hello Friends!  There’s some awesome NEW releases TODAY at The Stamps of Life!

ladybugpudgie14 joined the family of pudgies and is sooo cute!

I used the Sizzix/SB Scallop Heart Fold-its as my base.  So simple… and I love how TSOL has so many fun and coordinating patterned papers!

I made this matchbox style box the old fashioned way… with  a ruler and paper cutter. Maybe someday Stephanie will design a die to make this type of box… That would be awesome!!! I thought the sentiment and some “kisses” would be perfect as a little treat box:)

Fancy Hearts and Spiros Dies are so pretty! They were designed to coordinate with the Sizzix/SB HalfA2Card Die with panels  or to be used alone.

I thought the beautiful flowers and hearts would be great as a Mother’s Day Card.  I paired them with Quirky Alphabet Dies, Quarter Flower Dies (leaves), and sentiments from December 2017 Card Kit Collection XOXO Collection.

Here’s a look at the inside of the card….

This time I paired it with the Sizzix/SB You Are Awesome 3-D Drop-ins Sentiments.

Scallop Circles Dies come in a set of 6 nested scalloped circles. In my opinion, I think they are a staple to every card-makers collection of dies.  If you have circle dies, you need scalloped circles for layering, right?  I think they just add that little “extra” touch to a card:)

I love these scalloped circles… and once again the coordinating patterned paper…

Thanks for stopping by today!  All papers, inks stamps and dies can be found at The Stamps of Life.  I hope you have a wonderful day! Until the next time… Happy Stamping:)

Goodies4WheelBarrow & Happy2Color Stamps & Dies- The Stamps of Life

Hello friends!  I hope your weekend is off to a great start!  Mine will be a lazy one, and I’ll take it…. after being out of work with a broken arm for the last three months I returned to a classroom of 19 kindergartners …. My arm is still not healed but I missed my kids soooo much I begged my surgeon to return to work!  I’m exhausted, LOL, but I’m not complaining:)

I have some new releases to share today! This month’s Club Set,  wheelbarrow2stamp has a companion set….. goodies4wheelbarrow,  So cute!

 

In addition, I used Hot Balloon Die Set to die cut my sun and owls2love stamp/die set to add the owl in the tree of the patterned paper….

In addition to wheelbarrow2stamp and goodies4wheelbarrow , I used Sizzix Dotted Ovals and TSOL Border Dies to complete this card.

happy2color and happy2color Die Set is so much fun!!!!

 

At the time that I designed this card, I had just broken my arm… so no coloring on my sample… But if you’re not a colorer, it looks great just stamped;)

In addition to happy2color with dies, I also used Sizzix Half A2 Card, sailboat2stamp stamp/die set and patterns4sailboat.

Thanks for stopping by today!  You can find all stamps, dies, papers and inks I used at The Stamps of Life  I truly appreciate ALL visits, questions and comments!  Until the next time…. Happy Stamping!

 

 

Wheelbarrow2Stamp, Mini Pudgies & BeYouTiful Die- The Stamps of Life

Hello everyone!  It’s the first of April, which means release day at The Stamps of Life, April Fools’s Day and Easter all in the same day! Phew!!!   If you celebrate Easter, Happy Easter!  I’m looking forward to going to my son and daughter-in-law’s home for dinner and to spend time with family.  Whatever you have planned, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Wheelbarrow2stamp is this month’s Club Set and if you’re a Die Hard Club member, you get the coordinating dies, too:)

I absolutely LOVE this set and I think you will, too!

To make my card I used the Sizzix Box Card Set as my base. I made the grass using Border Dies .  The sentiment, strawberries and flowers are all included in the set.  Don’t you just love this wheelbarrow with all of it’s coordinating stamps and dies?!!!

This time,  I decided to color in my images with colored pencils. To make my mounds of grass I used Sailboat Dies and die cut my fence with Sizzix/SB Flowers and Fence stamp/die set.

Mini Pudgies were designed by Stephanie at TSOL for Sizzix.  These pudgies have already been released in Stephanie’s series of pudgies,  but now there are 3 mini pudgies together in a set of 7 stamps and 6 dies that she designed for Sizzix.  The pudgies are so cute… and these mini ones are just adorable!

Here’s the gang of pudgies all together… The base of my card is is a mini Step-Up card

called Sizzix Tree Step-Ups Card. I also used Sizzix Triplits Cake.

I made my gift card holder using Zig Zag Bag with the “gang” and the mini dog peeking out behind the gift card.

Fun! These mini pudgies work great for a group gift:)

A thank you with the mouse and Stitched Tags.

And one last pudgie card that I used fun foam to cut my pudgies.  This card looks better in real life… the details of the animals don’t show up well in this photo 😦

BeYoutiful Die is a beautiful die…

Along with the “Be YOU tiful” die I used Sizzix Scallop Heart Fold-its and butterfly2stamp with dies.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!  I truly appreciate ALL visits, questions and comments.  Until the next time… Happy Stamping!
