Today on my blog I am sharing some cards that I made using the guitar dies from The Stamps of Life. These dies go along with the stamp set, Guitars2Play, which was previously released. The stamps did not have dies, so now they do! For my cards, I did some paper piecing to create the guitars.
For my first card, I also used some circle dies to create a record as a die cut image on the card. I just love how it turned out with the two guitar die cuts added to the card.
For my second card, I created a shaker card using the guitar dies and the dotted star dies.
UPDATE: The small “You Rock” word die used on these cards is not available in the guitar die set. It came with my design team shipment, but The Stamps of Life decided to not include it in the final packaging. Another option is the large “You Rock” word die. Here’s a link – https://thestampsoflife.com/you-rock-dies.html
The Stamps of Life March 2020 card kit was released on March 15 and I’m excited to share with you the 10 cards that I made with this kit. This kit corresponds to the monthly stamp and die set called pinatas2stamp.
There are so many fun products in the March card kit.
The color pallet for this month is cranberry, kiwi, green apple, lemonade, banana, sky, midnight, gingersnap, and powdered sugar. All of these colors will make for some great masculine cards! The kit comes with 12 cardstock sheets — one in each color plus four powdered sugar cardstock sheets.
The petite paper pad is the Surprise Collection and comes with 24 double sided sheets of patterned paper. It also includes pinata images that match the monthly stamp set which can be die cut with the corresponding shadow die from the pinanta2stamp die set. There are a total of eight pinatas that can be die cut. This makes for some quick and easy cards!
The kit also comes with chipboard cactuses, colorful buttons, two ribbon (banana and cranberry), star stickers, a sentiment stamp set, and two dies — a large leaf die and a word die set that can say “Happy Birthday” or “Happy Day.” Just for being in the card kit club, The Stamps of Life also included a free gift — a ribbon in the midnight color.

Just in time for Spring, The Stamps of Life recently released the Sunshine Spring Kit. This kit has so many fun things in it. (Note: This kit is currently sold out. Some of the pieces of the kit may be released at a later date for individual sale.) It comes with the Spring Basics Collection paper pad with beautiful spring colors – blue jay, cherry, pixie, kiwi, ocean, and a brand new color — sunshine! It also comes with the Wedding Circle Stencil, chipboard flowers, two ribbon, ocean epoxy dots, metallic silver heart stickers, a die set to make a bunny, and an ink pad and refill in the new color – sunshine.
I made 7 cards with this kit.

Today on my blog I am once again featuring the “Sending You Lots of Love” word die from The Stamps of Life. I decided to make this card into a Valentine’s Day shaker card.
The A2 Circle Background Die Set from The Stamps of Life is a perfect die set to make a shaker card! The background die cut on this card is shown with many tiny small hearts inside of the circles. The tiny hearts were die cut from strawberry cardstock using the triple tiny heart die that comes with the “Sending You Lots of Love” word die. The word die is a sentiment die that comes with a coordinating shadow die, however, I did not use the shadow die for the sentiment on this card. I simply die cut the sentiment with strawberry cardstock and adhered it directly to the card front.
For a complete tutorial on how to make this card, watch my YouTube video here:

On my blog today is a sweet birthday card that I made for a sweet little girl. I just love the Paper Nest Dolls stamps. They are so adorable and I love to color them. I also made this a shaker card by incorporating an ice cream shaker element. The ice cream shaker element is from Queen and Company.
