Get Well Soon Circle Die- The Stamps of Life

Hello! I’m sharing the new Get Well Circle Die that was released today… I don’t know about you, but I always try to have plenty of “Get Well” cards on hand!

I paired the Get Well Soon with Scallop Circle Dies and bandage2stamp along with some flower dies included in the Sizzix Mini Square Stand-Up Card Set.

Here’s a great tip about this die, too:) This Word Circle Die fits perfectly on the Large Flip-its Card and the Stand-Ups Card. And….. it also coordinates with the other decorative borders from all the other Word Circle Dies. You can find them HERE

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful day! Until the next time…. Happy Stamping!

Happy Anniversary Card- The Stamps of Life

Hello! Today I’m sharing a card I made for two very special people, my son and my daughter-in-law. They just celebrated their second anniversary… Time sure does fly, it seems like yesterday we were just planning their wedding!

To make my card I used Sizzix Half A2 Swirl Card as my card base. I added Sizzix Dotted Hearts and made my bow using Large Bow Dies. I love the swirls on the gatefold panel, I think it adds such elegance to your card!

Happy Anniversary is included in the die set and I personalized the year by using minidoublebanner2stamp This was a quick, easy and fun card to make and I was happy with how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by today! Until the next time… Happy Stamping!

Witch Hat and a Cat- The Stamps of Life

It’s been a crazy, busy week and I was happy to have some “me” time today in my craft room! I knew I wanted to make some cards today but just wasn’t sure what I wanted to make….

Then my son text me this picture….

This is Pippin, my grand-cat that I call my “city cat” because he lives in Boston. I actually have two grand- cats, the other is a Calico and is as cute as can be too, but she’s my “country cat.”

When I got this picture the idea came to me and I knew this would be my son’s Halloween card!

For the base of my card I turned the Party Hat die that Stephanie designed for HSN into a witch’s hat. You can find the Party Hat HERE. To create the rest of my hat, I used the following Stamps of Life stamps and dies: Slider die for my hat’s brim, Stitched Square Dies to make the buckle, cat2stamp and Quirky Uppercase Alphabet. I added a fun felt hat to my cat, added some googly eyes inside my “O’s” and altered a spider ring to hang from my card! Pretty simple, but I was happy with how it turned out and excited to mail it out:)

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day! Until the next time…. Happy Stamping!
