TSOL: Shabby Chic Christmas

Hello! Today I have a card to share using The Stamps Of Life lights4Christmas set and matching dies.  I went for a shabby chic look.  I paper pieced the lights and colored the tops with copic markers and Prisma pencils.  I added some silver tinsel ribbon and silver sequins and distressed the edges of the papers with Old Paper distress ink. I also rubbed the distress ink over the embossed swiss dots.

Heartfelt Creations: Vintage Christmas Creations

Hi, there!  Today I have two vintage inspired cards, using stamps and dies from Heartfelt Creations.  The first card features the newest poinsettia set using the Sunkissed Fleur die. I love that you can create two different flowers with one die!

This next card uses some of the tinier poinsettias and the sentiment circles. I just love red and sky blue together.  I thought it would make a pretty Christmas card!  You can find the instructions and product lists for recreating these cards on the Heartfelt Creations blog.

Heartfelt Creations: Love At Christmas

Hi, there! I have another Heartfelt Creations project to share with you today.  I love these starburst dies (I guess technically they are not snowflakes, since they have more than six points).  I layered them and added foam dots in between to create my own 3D embellishments. For product list and instructions on recreating this card, please go to the Heartfelt Creations blog. You will tons more projects by the design team.

TSOL: New Alphabet Dies!

Hello! Today I have two cards to share using the newest alphabet die set from The Stamps Of Life.  The first card uses the sets faces4stamps, talk2me, and outline4letters.  This alphabet die is all on one plate, so you can quickly die cut the entire alphabet and then pick the letters you need!

This next card uses the talk2me, outline4letters, and zebra2letter sets.  A quick and easy card to make to say hello to an old friend!

TSOL: Happy Fall!

Hello! It feels like fall around here, so I thought it fitting to share this card today.  I used the thanks2fall set from The Stamps Of Life and the matching die for this card.  I splattered some Old Paper distress ink over the card with a wet paint brush and added some baker's twine at the top. I also inked the edges with the Old Paper distress ink.  I stamped the sentiment in chocolate ink three times. To get the variation in tone, I simply kept stamping without inking the stamp back up. 
A quick and easy card to celebrate my favorite season!

TSOL: lights4Christmas

Hello! I wanted to share a card I made using the new release from The Stamps Of Life, lights4Christmas.  I used the matching die set for the lights and paper pieced them.  I love the sentiments that come with this set, too! 
The green twine is from The Twinery.  I used Tombow Multi to adhere it to the card base.  I usually apply it in the pattern I want my twine to be in.  I let it dry a little, so it is slightly tacky, and then I adhere the twine.
I am glad to have more "crafty" time now that the boys are back in school.  We had a fun filled, busy summer, and I am thankful to be back in a routine of sorts!

Thanks for stopping by!
