Happy Halloween Step-Up - The Stamps of Life

I've got one more Halloween card for you. For this one I used the Heart Step-Up die and the critters4halloween stamp set to create a cute little scene.

The bats are from a border punch from Martha Stewart.

Dog-gone Awesome

This was a fun card to make and so easy thanks to the Circle Flip-Its die from The Stamps of Life.

I stamped Cookie, colored her with Copic markers and cut her out. I did the same with the food bowl. I added pink Goosebumps to the corners of the card and on the center of Cookie's bow.

Be sure to check out The Stamps of Life website for more inspiration and videos of these and more stamp sets and dies.

Cherry Pop Chill - The Stamps of Life

If it's hot where you are you will definitely enjoy this clean and simple card using the new Popsicle Dies from The Stamps of Life.

I embossed the card base using the Flower Power embossing folder and then I cut out the popsicle twice using the die - first from Kraft cardstock and then from Strawberry. I stamped one of the patterns from the patterns4pops stamp set using Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder and then cut off only the top of the popsicle and adhered it over the sticks. I added twine and stamped the word "Chill" and popped up the panel using foam tape.

The Stamps of Life - Hello My Friend

This was a fun card to make. I used the new die from The Stamps of Life to cut the word window directly into my cardstock. I then placed some patterned paper behind it.

The card base was embossed using the Flower Power embossing folder and I used foam tape to raise the panel and then added some green adhesive gems for my embellishments.

This die is very versatile and comes with a coordinating outer circle die. There is a lot you can do with it so I hope you check out the samples on the The Stamps of Life Blog.

The Stamps of Life - Love You Step-Up

This is the card you may have seen in Stephanie's video this month at The Stamps of Life.

I created it card using the Hearts Step-Up card die which makes this card super easy to do. Once I die cut the little piggy, I used the heart from the step-up set to die cut the shape into his little bottom. I added a gem for his eye and also die cut his tail.

I used the border strip also included in the step-up set and the word die as well. I just adore this little guy.

The Stamps of Life - Spring Tag

Today, I have a little bit of Spring to show you. Here is a tag made with the Spring Birds Triplets die from The Stamps of Life. I don't know about you, but I have had enough of the cold and snow and I'm looking forward to the beautiful blooms and the sounds of the birds chirping outside my studio window again.

I used the scalloped circles from the Large Circle Flip-Its die to cut two different sizes of scalloped circles and then I ran the larger, white scalloped circle through my cuttlebug using the new Flower Power embossing folder for some added texture. I used dimensionals to pop up the wing of the bird and then added a gem for his eye. I embellished with some flowers and buttons I had on hand.

Super easy and fun to make. I hope it brightened your day.
