The Stamps of Life Card Kit – September 2022 – 13 Cards 1 Kit – Jingle All the Way

Lisa Mears

Hello Crafty Friends.

I’m so excited to share this month’s club sets from The Stamps of Life. I know it’s been a while (about a year and a half to be exact) since I last shared their club sets. I’m back now as a club affiliate. What does that mean? It simply means that if you decide to join any of The Stamps of Life clubs or upgrade your current membership AND you click on my link to join or upgrade, I will receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. You can find my Stamps of Life club affiliate link here. As always, I appreciate your support! This month’s set is Christmas themed and is perfect for all of your Christmas cardmaking.

The Stamp Club features the stamp set JingleBell2Stamp which includes a large jingle bell, some springs, and Christmas sentiments. By joining the Stamp club, you will receive the JingleBell2Stamp set this month.

The Die Hard Club features the JingleBell2Stamp and matching dies.

The Card Kit Club is called Jingle All the Way and corresponds to the monthly club set called JingleBell2Stamp.

The card kit is packed with so many goodies to make at least 10 cards! I made 13 cards with the kit and you can check them out below. However, before I share my cards, let’s take a look at the contents of the kit.

The kit includes 14 pieces of cardstock, 6″ x 6″ paper pad, silver and multi-color epoxy dots, puffy stickers, chipboard snowflakes, red enamel dots with holly stickers, a Jingle All the Way word die, two ribbon, and my favorite of all — an A1 card die set. Yep, you heard me right! You get a die set in the kit that makes an A1 size card (3 1/2″ x 5″) and it comes with a set of dotted rectangle nesting dies and a word die that says “Happy Holidays.” Wow! That’s a lot of stuff!

There are lots of perks to being a club member. You get club points that can be used to spend in the store, a 15 percent off discount on everything in the store (a 20 percent discount for card kit members), a $15 gift certificate on your club anniversary ($25 for card kit members), and more! To find out more, click here.

My favorite club of all is the Gold Club which consists of the Die Hard Club and Card Kit Club. I made 13 cards with this month’s card kit. If you would like to see the card kit club contents up close and how I made all of my cards, then watch my video on YouTube or below.

The Stamps of Life May 2021 Card Kit - 10 Cards 1 Kit

The Stamps of Life May 2021 card kit was released on May 15 and I’m super excited to share with you the 10 cards I made with the kit. This kit corresponds to the monthly stamp and die set called BBQ2Stamp as well as the add-on set, MoreBBQ2Stamp,  This kit is perfect for your summer cards. It can also be used to create masculine cards for all of those guys in your life. Here’s a picture of everything that is included in the May Card Kit.

The Stamps of Life May 2021 Card Kit

The May card kit is called the “Totally Rad” collection. The color pallet for this month is Midnight, Green Apple, Kiwi, Cranberry, Twig, Gingersnap, Sunshine, Pool, and Powdered Sugar. This kit comes with 12 cardstock sheets — one in each color plus four Powdered Sugar cardstock sheets.

This card kit comes with a 6″ x 9″ paper pad and is the Totally Rad Collection. It comes with 24 double-sided sheets of patterned paper. It also includes four barbecue grills and several utensils, grass, steaks, turkey legs, and hot dogs — all that can be die cut using the shadow dies from the club set and add-on set.   In total, there are 54 pieces that can be die cut from the paper pad to be used on your cards. These die cuts make for quick and easy cards because they are already colored for you!

The card kit also comes with a Totally Rad word die, epoxy dots, chipboard pieces, two ribbon, a sentiment stamp set, a BBQ word die, idea card, a set of envelopes, and a large storage envelope to put everything in.

Below, I have a video showing the unboxing of the card kit and my design process for all 10 cards I made with the card kit. I also have links to all of the supplies used for my cards at the very end of this post.

Rainbow Shaped Card

Lisa Mears

Hello! Today on my blog I’m sharing a card that I made using the Rainbow Fold-it die set from The Stamps of Life. This die set makes an A2 size card shaped like a rainbow. You can use it not only as a card, but it would look beautiful on a scrapbook page too! The die set has several fun drop-in pieces for the curves in the rainbow — stripes, dots, starts, etc.  However, you don’t have to use the drop-in dies to get those designs on your rainbow. You have the option of using solid cardstock or even pattern paper for those rainbow curves.

Traveler’s Notebook Layout | The Stamps of Life April 2021 Card Kit

Lisa Mears

Hello! Today on my blog I’m sharing a layout that I made in my traveler’s notebook using The Stamps of Life April 2021 card kit. Before I share the details, if you are not familiar with traveler’s notebooks, I encourage you to watch my introductory video about traveler’s notebooks below.

I am really getting into using traveler’s notebooks for memory keeping. If you are like me, and have always wanted to take the plunge into scrapbooking, but may find that a 12 x 12 layout is very intimating, I suggest starting with a traveler’s notebook because it’s a much smaller scale and great place for beginners to start.

Traveler's Notebook Layout - The Stamps of Life April 2021 Card Kit

On the left side of the page, I used the pattern paper from the card kit and cut it to 4″ x 6 1/2″. I also cut a piece of Mint Chip solid cardstock to 4″ x 1 3/4″. I adhered both pieces to the page in my traveler’s notebook. I used the birdbath, birds, and butterflies from the Remember This paper pad. If you don’t have the paper pad, you can use the birdbath2stamp set and stamp the images. I also used the Remember This word die and stamp sentiment from the card kit. I stamped four of the bushes from the MoreBirdbath2Stamp set and colored them with my Copic markers. I fussy cut the bushes and added them to the layout.

On the opposite page, I used a piece of the blue paper from the paper pad which measures 2″ x 6 1/2″. I also used a piece of the Cherry solid cardstock which measures 3 1/8″ x 4 1/8″. I layered a 3″ x 4″ photo on top and added the chipboard word “Smile” along with a butterfly and bird.

To see how I made this layout, watch my tutorial here:

I would love to hear your thoughts about traveler’s notebooks layouts. Please leave me a comment and let me know if you want to see more.

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing some information about The Stamps of Life’s newest online class called “Drinks with Friends.”  It will be a LIVE event with Stephanie Barnard at The Stamps of Life on Thursday, May 27 at 4 p.m. Pacific time. Individuals who register for the event will receive an email with instructions on accessing the Live Event. The event will be recorded, so if you are unable to join LIVE, you can watch later.

Participants will receive a class bundle that includes all of the following:

  • Limited Edition Drinks With Friends Stamp Set (4×6)
  • Limited Edition Drinks With Friends Die Set (12 dies)
  • Limited Edition A2 Shell Fold-it Card Dies
  • Limited Edition Sun & Wave Stencil

For more information about The Drinks with Friends class, visit The Stamps of Life website.

Below are some cards that I made using the contents of the class kit. Please keep in mind that these cards are my own creations. They are not the cards that you will be making in class with Stephanie. For a few of my cards, I added some additional stamps. A complete list of supplies that I used for my cards will be at the end of this post. In addition, there will be a YouTube video that you can watch if you want to see how I made these cards. Scroll down for more information.
