friend – Lisa Mears Card Designs

The Stamps of Life May 2020 card kit was released on May 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 tortie2stamp. There are so many fun products in the May card kit.

The color pallet for this month is banana, green apple, blue jay, spearmint, ocean, gingersnap, cherry, blueberry, and powdered sugar. This kit comes with 12 cardstock sheets — one in each color plus four powdered sugar cardstock sheets. The petite paper pad is the Special Friend Collection and comes with 24 double sided sheets of patterned paper. It also includes two sheets of turtles in various sizes that match the monthly stamp set, tortie2stamp, which can be die cut with the corresponding shadow dies from the tortie2stamp die set and the moretorties2stamp die set. There are a total of 16 turtles that can be die cut. This makes for a lot of quick and easy cards!

The card kit also comes with a flower die set, a sentiment stamp set, a “Special Friend” word die, epoxy dots, 9 chipboard sentiment pieces, flower puffy stickers, two ribbon (green apple and blueberry), idea card, a large storage envelope to put everything in, and a set of envelopes.

As a special bonus, starting this month, The Stamps of Life is including TWO FREE die sets in every card kit through December 2020. Let me just say that these are not small dies…Nope! They are large die sets! The two free items in my kit are the apple dies ($16.41 value) that match the apple2stamp set and the circle stitched only dies ($18.99 value). That a $35 value in FREE gifts! Every card kit club member may receive different freebies.

UPDATE TO CARD 10: The small “You Rock” word die 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
