Hi everyone! Today on my blog I’m sharing a Z-fold card that I made using the new Double Z-Fold Card Die set from The Stamps of Life. This die set will be featured on HSN’s Craft Day on January 19, 2021. The die set includes the die to make the card base and also some layering dies. You can decorate it however you wish and I used the Dotted Alphabet Dies and some some other fun dies for this birthday card.
Here’s another one I created using the BestBudBears2Stamp dies from The Stamps of Life.
To see how I made this card, watch my tutorial here.
The Stamps of Life January 2021 card kit was released on January 15 and this kit is AMAZING! First of all, this is the first time EVER that The Stamps of Life has included a 6″ x 9″ paper pad! Woo Hoo! This larger paper pad is perfect for making slimline cards.
This kit corresponds to the monthly stamp and die set called FishTank2stamp as well as the add-on set, MoreFishTank2Stamp. Here’s a picture of everything that is included in the January Card Kit.
The January card kit is called the “Loving Life” collection. The color pallet for this month is Poppy, Blueberry, Sky, Blue Jay, Grape, Sunshine, Kiwi, Cloud, and Powdered Sugar. This kit comes with 12 cardstock sheets — one in each color plus four Powdered Sugar cardstock sheets.
The 6″ x 9″ paper pad is the Loving LifeCollection and comes with 24 double-sided sheets of patterned paper. It also includes four sheets of fish tanks and fish, all of which can be die cut using the shadow dies from the FishTank2Stamp dies and MoreFishTank2Stamp dies. In total, there are 28 fish, 8 starfish, 8 seaweed, 6 turtles, and 10 fish tanks for a total of 60 die cut pieces. I love how these die cuts can be used to make quick and easy cards.
The card kit also comes with a Loving Life word die, white epoxy dots, two ribbon, a sentiment stamp set with two additional fish stamps and matching dies, yellow bow embellishments, fish puffy stickers, idea card, a set of envelopes, and a large storage envelope to put everything in. In addition, The Stamps of Life included a freebie this month which is a large Stamps of Life tote bag.

Today on my blog I’m sharing a birthday card that I made using the 5×7 Stripe Card Base Die Set from The Stamps of Life. This die set makes a 5 x 7 card and also has several other dies including a striped background die for the front of the card. There are also three large word dies with sentiments that say “Happy Birthday,” “My Friend,” and “Happy Hello.” There is also a flower die included in the set.

Today I’m sharing a fun Valentine’s Day project. I purchased a mailbox at Target and decorated it using some fun die cuts. Of course this mailbox can be used for Valentine’s Day, but it can also be used year-round. I’m going to use it for decoration in my craft room.

Today I’m sharing 22 cards I made using the Echo Park Cupid & Co Collection. I fell in love with this collection as soon as I saw the old-fashioned pick up truck on the front of the packaging. This collection is perfect for Valentine’s Day, however, you can also use it when you want to send a love card. Some of the cards I made are specific for Valentine’s Day, but others can be used for just love notes and even anniversary cards. I used the 6 x 6 paper pad, ephemera, frames and tags, 12 x 12 cardstock sticker sheet, and the 12 x 12 solid paper pack.
I have a video on my YouTube channel showing my design process of all of the cards. I also listed each card below along with measurements.
Enjoy!

Today on my blog I’m sharing a fun card that I made using the brand new peekaboo rectangle die set from The Stamps of Life. This die set consists of a set of rectangles in various sizes that you can use for windows on your card. When you open the window, you can have a fun stamped image underneath.

Today on my blog I’m sharing a slimline card that I made using several fun products from The Stamps of Life. I used the brand new Solid Alphabet die set for the letters on this card. I created my own pattern paper using the Candy2Share stamp set. The card base is the Scalloped Slimline die set. See below for a full supply list and video tutorial.

Today on my blog I’m sharing a shaker card that I made using the Bubblegum Machine fold-it die set from The Stamps of Life. This die set makes a 5 x 7 card shaped like a bubblegum machine. There is also a die included that allows you to turn it into a shaker card. If you don’t want to make it a shaker card, you can make it a flat card. For my card, I chose to make a shaker card and include REAL candy pieces. I die cut a circle in the middle of the shaker and covered it with a stitched circle on the back side. I added a stamp and a pull tab which shows the recipient that he/she can pull open the tab to get the candy pieces out! How fun is that?!
