I love everything about these sentiments, the size, the font and the actual sayings. I like to have lots of holiday sentiment dies on hand, it makes Christmas cardmaking easier.

This die set includes the dies and domes to make a cute shaker card. There are easy instructions inside that explain how to put it together. Sentiments, birthday images and even a die to cut the confetti (or use your own sequins or gems). The domes already have adhesive on them, just peel and stick. I have also made regular flat shaker cards using this set. My little niece loved the card I made for her!

This Retro Oven is perfect for holiday cards or tags. The oven is a nice size, and the pieces aren’t hard to place. Also included are the cute cookie shaped dies.

I have several Sizzix Tim Holtz Impresslits and this is my favorite. It’s so wonderful to be able to cut and 3D emboss in one swoop. I opened it up and it’s like opening a gift, so beautiful.

I love the Sizzix Tim Holtz Impresslits. This one is so special. The veining on the Oak Leaf really makes this leaf realistic. The best part is that it happens all in one.

I love this die set, it makes a lovely, detailed village scene. It’s helpful to watch the Sizzix YouTube video on how to assemble it, easy once you do this.

The lace pattern on this stencil is beautiful. The SA stencils are nice quality.

The sentiments on this set are really nice, which is why I wanted the set. I would say my main reservation is that it is hard to use since the text is, well, tiny. You really have to be careful to not roll the stamp or apply too much pressure when stamping or you’ll get the edge of the stamp printed. I decided to print the entire stamp on a piece of cardstock using a stamping platform and use a trimmer to cut the strips.

I love the style of script on this Hello die. Pinkfresh makes nice quality, sturdy dies and this is no exception. It’s nice to have a Hello die that really stands out on a card.

The 3D embossing folders from Sizzix are amazing and this one is really realistic. Lightly mist the paper to prevent splitting the paper before running it through the machine. The brick has different levels of texture which makes it looks real. Great for cards or vignette boxes.

Quality and heavy steel die. Cuts well even the small flower. This makes a beautiful diecut, perfect for cards.

I just opened these up and blended some Distress Oxide ink onto a piece of cardstock. These are amazing. They blend so smoothly, no more harsh edges like on the foam blenders because of their domed shape. The foam on these blenders are sturdy yet soft much better than traditional foam blenders. They are definitely worth the money!

I love this pad so much it’s hard for me to use it. The sheets are thick and have pretty prints and glitter! What’s not to love. It’s only printed on one side but still great for de orating cards and boxes and gift bags.

I used this stamp for Holiday cards and sent them to friends who live out of town. I stamped the image on white card stock, cut the image out and glued it into the Lawn Fawn snow globe stamped image. I’ll post a photo of this onto my gallery. It’s also a cute stamp to make postcards or for tags to attach to a Chicago themed gift basket.

I bought the Hero Arts Koi stamp set and decided to buy this mini ink set because it had the colors needed to layer and make an impressive image. I really like the 2 tones of grey included, pretty on the fish but nice complimentary color for the sentiment.

Hero Arts makes quality stamps and this set is no exception. The koi is such a beautiful image, I just had to have this set. You really need at least 3 different color inks to make the most impressive koi so I bought the mini ink pads Hero Arts made for this set. This set is much easier to line up for layering than many I have but using a Misti helps if you want to stamp multiple images.

I love when you can buy a stamp and die together in one package for a good price. I've used this set on a lot of birthday cards and it also makes a cute gift bag tag.

Lawn Fawn makes the cutest animal stamps. When I saw this I knew I had to have this set, love the lucky cat. I used this set to make St. Patrick's Day cards and sometimes I use this set for birthday cards and include a lottery ticket as a small gift.

Teeny stars die cuts are the perfect size for accents on cards. I like Paper Smooches because they make some nice small die cuts at a reasonable price. Wish I could find teeny hearts too!

Lawn Fawn makes the best die cuts, I wanted this grass border for cards and tags, it adds the perfect finishing touch.
