Angels of Peace

Have you seen this lovely stamp set using line art? The Angels of Peace stamp set (156365) also has some lovely sentiments too.

The line art is perfect to heat emboss – check out these 2 cards while they both use the heat embossing technique they look quite different. This first card uses a quick and easy water color technique to add color the image using our Water Painters (151298).

It also uses a simple fun fold to show off the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Papers (155718). This next card is done in Night of Navy and Basic White, Copper was used from the Metallics Embossing Powder (155555) and some dry embossing was done in the back ground using the Star Crossed Embossing Folder (156567).

The sentiment uses the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690 ). One of my favorite die sets since it is so versatile. Buy them today and Save 20% off during Seasonal Sale.

Dies & More

Dies, Dies & More Dies. Oh my – And they are on Sale through the 18th! Whoo hoo! During Our Seasonal Sale you can get any of the Annual Catalog Dies on Sale for 20% off and there are some great die sets to choose from.

So today I thought I’d share some of my favorite versatile Die sets from the Annual Catalog. While these dies are great with the coordinating stamp set they are also great all by them selves with the set of your choice. I’ll start with a few of our free standing die sets, the first of which is the Tailored Made Tags (155563).

This die set is a great basic to use with all kind of projects – check out this fun card using the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (155464) and the Artistically Inked stamp set (154542)

Another of my favorites is the Tasteful Labels Dies (152886). This set of dies has some great basic shapes that can be used in tons of ways! Check out this next card using this set of dies.

This card uses the Nature’s Beauty stamp set (150528) stamped on the label and the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (155841) to highlight this wonderful sketched deer image.

And speaking of dies I reach for over and over again, how about the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690) that were used on this next card.

While this next card uses the beautiful pansy print from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807).

The big bold sentiment is perfect for this card and comes from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set (155034) found on page 38 of the Annual Catalog. And another wonderful die set that has great basic shapes is the Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) this was one of my first choices from the Annual Catalog this year since the layering scallop rectangles are sooo versatile and work so well with lots of other sets.

While the Color & Contour stamp set that coordinates with these dies is great it works wonderfully with all kinds of stamp sets. Check out these next 2 cards.

This first card uses the Sweet as a Peace stamp set (155050) and for a totally different look that uses the same die shape, check out this card using the Path to Greatness stamp set (155454) and the Stacked Stone Background stamp (152556).

And if you love labels with a flair – you’ll want to be sure to check out the Ornate Layers (152726) die set and Ornate Frames Dies (150664) that were used to create these next 2 cards.

Team them up with a great stamp set like the Forever Fern (152559) and Very Versailles (149275) and you’ll have a great look.

And of course we also have some wonderful that are great on their own since they are silhouettes. Like this wonderful nature scene? The Inspiring Canopy Dies (155963) create a wonderful silhouette look for any project.

Or the Many Layered Blossoms Dies (153582) that were used for this next card.

Whew, as you can see we have so many great dies to choose from you’ll want to be sure to check them out while the sale is going on, but you’ll want to hurry since the Seasonal Sale ends on Thursday, November 18th at 11:50 pm (MT).

Gnome for the Holidays

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend. Here in North Georgia we had some lovely weather and low humidity too. That is a rare occurrence so we enjoyed time outdoors grilling since everyone was home and even did a yard sale just for fun. School has started here now in Habersham, so that means fall is really here with football games starting. Our daughter had her first game already last Friday with social distancing of course, so she brought home video for me to see of their show, Take a Journey with of course music by Journey.

Now on to stamping.
