There is a brand new kit over at the The Stamps of Life which is called “Trendy Twig.” There are so many fun products in this kit including the brand new ink color — Twig! The kit includes a full size Twig ink pad with refill, pattern paper pad, five petal stencil, ephemera, felt bows, epxoy dots, flourish stamps/dies, and two ribbon. Let me just say that there is SO MUCH ephemera in this kit! Not only do you have a separate pack of ephemera filled with die cuts such as turtles, picnic baskets, llamas, wreaths, flowers, and birdhouses, but the paper pad also has several sheets of ephemera that can be die cut or fussy cut for even more ephemera to include on your cards!
There are several corresponding stamp and die sets that go along with this kit which include the following:
- Picnic2Stamp and Dies
- Birdhouses2Stamp and Dies
- Llama2Stamp and Dies
- Garden2Stamp and Dies
- Wreath2Stamp and Dies
- Tortie2Stamp and Dies
- MoreTorties2Stamp and Dies
While you definitely do not need the above sets for this kit, I used some of the sentiments on the corresponding stamps for my cards. In addition, if you want to die cut the ephemera in the paper pad, you can use the matching dies. However, if you don’t have the matching dies, you can fussy cut the ephemera from the paper pad.
