Sam E. Snowman

I have some really exciting news to share with you.  Tomorrow A Jillian Vance Design will be releasing my first ever die set!!! Eeeek.  I had some time to give it a test run and I couldn't be more please.  My new wood grain stamp is coming tomorrow as well, at first I was a little nervous about it but once I started stamping I fell in love.  It's not you typical skinny wood grain stamp this one is big and bold.  It definitely has a whimsical playful look to it.  I hope you like it as much as I do. :)

Here we go with Sam E. Snowman die set and my wood grain background

Now I've got some cards made by using the "empty" or negative space the die leaves.  I used clear card stock to behind the snowman so I could glue the scarf and buttons on, now everything looks like it's floating on the card.

Check out my other stamps here.

Bird cage tags

The minute I saw the bird cage die from Poppy Stamps Dies I knew I had to have it.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I got it but I just had have it.  So today I was inspired to use the die and make some Christmas tags with it.  So I die cut and inked them with Antique Linen by Ranger and started decorating with the Winter Wonderland paper pad by My Mind's Eye.  I had some left over Poinsettia pieces (Spellbinders) and some snowflakes (Martha Stewart). 

I didn't have a bird die so I had to make one up.  What's your favorite bird die?  I think I may need to get one :)

Everyday Tags

Well I've been "sitting" on these tags for what feels like a long time (6 months) but I can finally show them to you.  I've had to keep them secret because they were published in Cricut Magazine (June/July) issue.  Here's the cover

The category these tags were submitted for is called Everyday Life and I thought the sentiments Dare To Dream from PSA Essentials were perfect for this.
Here are all the tags (even though only one was published).

Stop by the PSA Essentials Stamp Camp blog to get your mojo going.

Materials
I used the Create a Critter cartridge to make these tags.

Critter Tags

I've been holding out!  LOL Did you know that this weeks challenge at
Die Cuttin Diva's is all about tags??
And if you follow my blog you'll know that I LOVE tags!  More specifically the regular manila shipping tags.  There's just something about that size that suites me just fine.
Anyway I made some tags using my Cricut Cartridge "Create a Critter" (my most favorite cartridge of all). The sentiments on these tags came from an adorable clear stamp set called Under the Weather from There She Goes stamps.

Stop by the Die Cuttin Diva's and play long with their challenge,

they're even giving away a prize!
