Game Time with Stephanie Barnard and The {Stamps} of Life!

A new month brings a new Club set from The {Stamps} of Life! Love this fun tictactoe2play set and the matching dies!

 
For this card, I embossed the background using a Sizzix embossing folder, and cut the playing grid and X's and O out of white cardstock. I stamped the designs in Strawberry Ink. A little twine and a button and it's ready to send!

 




 
Banana and Strawberry Sprays! made the background for this birthday card. I stamped the stars with watermark ink and then embossed them. The sentiment was curved on the ink block and stamped with Guava ink. I happened to have some rhinestone stars that fit perfectly around the cut out (matching dies!) stars.

New Stamps at The Stamps of Life!

Who doesn't love a snowman??
The October Club set at The {Stamps} of Life has been out for a little over a week now, and there is a gallery full of fun inspiration from the TSOL DT members and TSOL customers HERE.

Today I want to share several creations I made using the new snowman2build set - the Club set for October. It comes with some fabulous dies too, which I really need to get as well.

If you don't have the Sprinkles! chunky glitter, you really have to try it out. I don't like glitter everywhere, but this stuff I use a LOT! It's fun and stays put :)

Sad to say, the wishes were a bit too warm, and my snowman melted!

I am just dandy keeping all the snow on my cards, instead of in my yard, thank you!

Come check out how to be a Club Member here. It's super fun and a great way to build your stamp/die collection.

There is a fun and easy challenge just starting today at the Hambo Hoedown. It's all about KIDS and you are invited to play along!

I used Hambo's Sand Box Dino and Hugs Sand Kisses for my images. Both are stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. The Dino is colored with Copic markers. My dotty paper is from Doodlebug's Take Note 6x6 pad.
