Today on my blog I’m sharing three cards that I made using the new alphabet and number die set from The Stamps of Life. These dies are 4 inches in size. They are big! You can use these as the centerpiece of a card. You can also use them on large banners or as standalone letters and numbers on a fold-it card. I used these dies in three different ways.
For the card below, I used pattern paper to die cut the top layering piece and adhered it to a white shadow layer.
For the card below, I used only the dotted die and die cut into the cardstock to create this fun dot pattern.
For my final card, I used the number dies. I used all three dies with different color cardstock for the layering pieces. I love how the dots show through with a different color than the rest of the layers.

The Stamps of Life March 2021 card kit was released on March 15 and this kit is all about flowers! This kit corresponds to the monthly stamp and die set called Flowers2Layer as well as the add-on set, Extras4flowers2Layer. Here’s a picture of everything that is included in the March Card Kit.
The March card kit is called the “Sweet Moments” collection. The color pallet for this month is Cherry, Seaglass, Ocean, Poppy, Bubblegum, Lemonade, Marigold, Kiwi, and Powdered Sugar. This kit comes with 12 cardstock sheets — one in each color plus four Powdered Sugar cardstock sheets. (Note: This month’s kit came with Bubblegum cardstock instead of Green Apple which I assume is due to a supply shortage in cardstock.)
The paper pad is the Sweet Moments Collection and comes with 24 double-sided sheets of patterned paper. It also includes two sheets of flowers which can be die cut using the shadow dies from the Flowers3Layer set.
The card kit also comes with a Sweet Moments word die, epoxy dots, two ribbon, a sentiment stamp set with two small flowers and matching dies, flower stickers, large flat back fabric buttons, idea card, a set of envelopes, and a large storage envelope to put everything in.

Today on my blog I’m sharing two cards that I made using the March club set from The Stamps of Life, Flowers2Layer, and the add-on set, Extras4Flowers2Layer.
In my first card, I used the flower outline stamp from the Flowers2Layer set and then used the ink splatter stamps as the layering pieces for the inside of the flower. I used Lemonade ink for the large flower, Guava ink for the large layering piece, and Blueberry ink for the small center. I love how these layering stamps give so much dimension to the flower. It also eliminates having to color these images because you can just use your ink pads to stamp the color onto them.
For the card below, I used the brushstroke stamps in the Extras4Flowers2Layer set to create this fun birthday card.

Today on my blog I’m sharing two cards that I made using the Large Circle Flip-it and Circle Add-on word dies.
In my first card, I used the Large Circle Flip-it to create this Thinking of You card. I just love the flowers included in the circle flip-it card base. I layered them up and inked the edges to give them some dimension. The Thinking of You die in the center of the flip-it card is part of an add-on set of dies. The add-on set consists of other words such as Just Pray, I’m So Sorry, and Thank You My Friend.
Large Circle Flip-it
For the card below, I used the shaker circle die set which is another add-on die set that you can use in conjunction with the Large Circle Flip-it or as standalone dies. What I love about these dies is that they not only cut out of the circle, but they also put a stitched frame around the circle in the cardstock. You can use these to frame an image on a card.

Today on my blog I’m sharing a new product by The Stamps of Life that is exclusive to HSN. It’s the Basket Fold-it die set. I used it here along with the Box-it die set to make a beautiful basket that can hold an assortment of things. This die set can also be used to make an A2 size card shaped like a picnic basket.

There is a Black Friday sale going on over at The Stamps of Life and one of the fun products for sale is the Gnome Fold-it die set. This die set makes an A2 size card shaped like a gnome.
