Today on my blog, I’m sharing two cards that I made with the Flower Pot Fold-it die set from The Stamps of Life. You can use this die set to make an A2 sized card with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It can be used for just about any occasion — Birthdays, Thank You’s, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Thinking of You, Sympathy, Get Well, etc.
The die set comes with six dies — two dies to make the flower pot and four dies to make the flowers. All you need to do is to supply the paper and embellishments!
Sentiment – October 2019 Card Kit Sentiment Stamps
Card 2
My second card is completely enclosed on the left, bottom, and right sides, however, if you pull up on the flowers, a message will come out of the flower pot. I also used the Flower2Build One dies to die cut the flowers and a circle die to die cut the middle part of the flowers.
Supplies
Cardstock – Gingersnap, Banana, Chocolate, Green Apple
I am excited to share the December 2019 release of The Stamps of Life card kit. The color pallet for this month is amazing! The colors consist of cherry, guava, blue jay, ocean, mint chip, bubble gum, strawberry, gingersnap, and powdered sugar.
The card kit comes with a patterned paper pad (Love You Collection), sentiment stamp set, a package of colorful chipboard snowflakes, four ribbon, an 8-pack of felt hearts, 4 ribbon, “Love You” word die with shadow, epoxy dots, and a package of chipboard pieces which include the word “happy,” hearts, cupcakes, and flowers. Of course, don’t forget about the beautiful solid color 8 1/2 x 11 card stock sheets, envelopes, and a large storage envelope to store it all in!
The video shows the unboxing of the card kit and a 6 card tutorial using the card kit contents the Flower2BuildOne dies.
Below are pictures of all six cards. I absolutely love how you can die cut the flowers from the pattern paper pad using the Flower2Build One dies and use them on a card. This makes for a quick and easy card! You’ll see the die cuts from the paper pad in the first three cards below.
Today on my blog I’m sharing a gift holder that I made using the Lattice Gift Card Holder die set from The Stamps of Life. This die set comes with various dies that you can use to decorate the gift card holder with a Christmas theme, birthday theme, or just about any occasion. Some of the dies it includes are flowers, cupcakes, ice cream cones, flowers, and a Christmas tree. The inside and outside of the gift card holder can be decorated. There is also a die to make the sleeve for the gift card to put inside!
There is a video tutorial on my YouTube channel. The link to the video is below.
Today on my blog I am featuring three projects that I created using the Gingerbread Man Fold-it die set from The Stamps of Life.
Watch my video tutorial for all three projects here:
Project 1
For the first project, I created a gingerbread man fold-it card. A fold-it card is an A2 sized card shaped like a gingerbread man. It can easily fit into an A2 sized envelope. You can either have the card open at the top or on the left side. I chose mine to open from the top. The die set also has several die pieces that you can use to decorate the gingerbread man. Some of the dies include a face, clothing, icing, and more.
The card stock I used for this card includes ginger snap, powdered sugar, and strawberry. I used a piece of patterned paper from the Joyful collection paper pad for the blue plaid overalls. I added epoxy dots for the buttons. I inked the edges of the smaller gingerbread die cut with gingersnap ink. I think this added a nice touch. It makes it look like a toasted cookie!
Since this is a fold-it card, I decorated the front and the back and I think it turned out super cute!
For my next project, I created a gingerbread gate fold card. I used the largest die in the set and cut it out of gingersnap card stock. I used the second largest die and cut another piece of gingersnap card stock. Again, I used gingersnap ink and ink-blended the edges to make it look slightly toasted. I adhered those together and then added his clothing and icing. The card stock is gingersnap, powdered sugar, and spearmint. The patterned paper is from the Joyful collection paper pad. I fussy cut the peppermints and adhered them to the front of the pockets. I also used foam adhesive to add three as buttons.
I used a gate fold card die to make the card base and adhered the gingerbread man to the front left opening. I used spearmint cardstock for the bow tie and pockets. The patterned paper I used is from the Joyful collection paper pad. I fussy cut the peppermints from one of the pieces of paper and adhered them to the pockets. I added foam adhesive to the three peppermints that I used as buttons.
For the inside of the card, I used a piece of powdered sugar cardstock. I stamped the peppermints as shown. The inside of the peppermints were stamped with strawberry ink. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the ChristmasTree2stamp and was stamped with spearmint ink.
For my third project, I made a treat box using the Gingerbread man fold-it die set as well as the box-it die set.
I die cut and decorated two gingerbread men, one for the front of the box and one for the back of the box. Both gingerbread men were decorated identically.
I also used the box-it die which I cut with gingersnap card stock to match the gingerbread men. I connected the box-it die cut to both gingerbread men, added some grass filling, and some candy canes.
Today I am sharing a Christmas mini album that I created which features all products from The Stamps of Life including papers, stamps, and dies. I just love how it turned out. To see a video walk-through of the entire album, watch my YouTube video. The link is posted below.
