It seems right to start my first blog post of the year with something I got for Christmas..... actually a little after the festivities, because I was waiting for the SU Sale-a-Bration to start on the 4th of January. DH got me the Large Letters and Large Numbers stamps, along with the matching dies. These are something of a considered purchase, the price tag for the lot is quite hefty. But by waiting, I got four free SAB sets, plus making up the order to £200 meant 10% plus £20 in reward points, so I ended up being able to buy another stamp /die bundle. Also, the SAB card tin, some A4 cardstock and a couple of pens, not shown below.
I decided to christen the letter dies, as I had a layout just needing a short title - needed to be short because the letters are large!
The two photos are - surprise! - twelve years apart. DS1 on the right, DS2 on the left in both photos - the height differential has changed quite a bit!
The main papers are from Maja Design and Studio Light, the strip is from Kaisercraft and the manufacturer strip is from Studio Light.
The smaller letters are die-cut using Memory Box Alphabet Soup. I cut the large letters out of embossed cardstock, which flattened it a bit ..... if I had just thought it through, I could have cut the letters and
then run them through the embossing folder :-) Next time ... LOL.
Fab layout Wendy .
ReplyDeleteI think all the stamps are going to come in handy for many projects not just scrapbooking .
what a great choice you've made.
I do love those, I would like to see them stamped *and* die-cut next time. No pressure :)
