Today, we are going to focus on the final product in this release which is a Stand-Alone die called the Classic Diamond Backdrop.
First up is Vera’s dreamy card! I love her soft- toned inked background. She used the Dots Meet Dashes Small Rectangle Overlays to cut out two small rectangles to house her cute little bunnies from the My BFF stamp set, together with the Cola & drink from the There’s No One Like You stamp set. The clouds and smiley rainbows are also from the My BFF stamp set. She kept her card relatively simple but it is super gorgeous!
Next is Davina’s delightful friendship card. I just love the bright rainbow color blending on this diamond backdrop. She layered it against a white card base which makes the diamond cut-outs really pop! The cute kids are from the new The Sweetest Truck stamp set. As you can see, with a bold backdrop like this one, you don’t really need to add too much in order to create a charming card!
Jo made a dazzling shaker card for us using this stand-alone die. These cute images and sentiment are from the Hot Mama stamp set. I love how she created a 2-layer backdrop. The little fish tails are just the ideal addition to this mermaid card! The sequins she used also match the color of her card seamlessly!
Winners will be announced on our Blog and on Instagram TOMORROW! You have until 11:00pm (PST) tonight to enter. Come and play along with us!

Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlays – Stand-Alone DieDots Meet Dashes Small Rectangles Overlays – Stand-Alone Die
These two sets coordinate perfectly with each other. The largest rectangle from the Large Overlays is 5.5″ x 4.25″, which is the size of the standard A2 card. The largest rectangle from the Small Overlays is 5″ x 3.75″. Besides giving you the most unique boarder detailing for your cards, they can be used to create layerings, and frames with simple modifications. These are for sure essential must-have items in your craft room.
Now let’s see what our Creative Team has created for us with these dies!
First we have Anja’s Easter greeting card! Her neat and simple card really makes the beautiful boarder details stand out! She used 3 different dies from the 2 sets. For the base, she chose a flowery patterned paper. For the middle layer she used just white cardstock and for the top layer she ink blended the white cardstock with scattered straw and squeezed lemonade Distress Oxide Inks. This card looks so elegant! She also used images from the My BFF stamps and cut them out with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.
Ashley made for us a 2-layer card. Her chevron patterned paper was cut using the Dots Meets Dashes (large size) die to fit a standard-sized card base. A smaller die was used to cut out a white piece, and then an even smaller die was used with an embossing mat to produce an embossed rectangular dots-meets-dashes pattern, inset into the piece. Such a clever idea! The adorable seal and sentiment are from The More We Get Together stamp set.
I really love the embossing technique that she used for this card. Head over to our YouTube channel and check out her video tutorial!
Up next is Vera’s card. Not only she added a boarder detailing with the largest die cut, she also used of one of the smaller rectangle die to create two dots and dashes frames for her card by cutting out the two extra windows. The cute couple is from The Sweetest Truck stamp set and the rest of the images and sentiments are from the There’s No One Like You stamp set.
Then we have Davina’s card. I love her choice of the bold patterned papers. The beautifully inked circular die cut pieces were used as canvases for her images. I just love the composition of everything! All of the images and sentiment are from The More We Get Together stamp set.

I’ve been longing for a stamp full of happy vibe and that is why we came up with this set. This ice cream truck themed stamp set is just so wonderful to play with!
Who doesn’t love a truck load of sweet goodies? You’ll have endless fun playing with this set with all the cute characters and timeless desserts! Great for birthday cards, friendship cards, and just because cards.
Our Creative Team had made some of the cutest cards ever, now let’s check them out!
Ashley made a super colorful just because card with this set. Her background was blended with Distress Oxide Inks, Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron. I love the silver glittery clouds she added. She chose the cute bear to be selling ice cream at of the window! I love the bunch of musical notes she added which made her card so much more alive! Click HERE to check out her video tutorial on our YouTube Channel and give it a like!
Next we have Anja’s creation. This card is so fantastic. I love the blended sky, which went so well with the color of the truck. Looks like the children and the cub are enjoying their time in the garden! I also love that she combined the sentiment “wishing you truck loads of “, altogether with “Fun”, Happiness”, and Ice cream”!
Vera made a happy birthday card in a portrait orientation. She had the cute ice cream truck as her background. This time she put both the little girl and the bear at the windows, and the little couple at the front enjoying their ice cream and beverage on a grassy field. The tone of this card just gives a super relaxing vibe!
Next we have Davina’s project. Her card is just perfect for Spring! I love the color palette that she chose. The colors on the images, cardstock, and patterned paper all comes together seamlessly. She also used some the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlay boarder dies to create layering for her card. Love the splatter of paint and the gel pen detailing as her finishing touches.
I’m so excited to have Laura Dovalo guest designing for us this week. Laura made a gorgeous happy birthday card! She made her own patterned paper by stamping out multiple times some of the accessory images from this set, including the 3-tier ice cream cone and the popsicles. I just love how this background is full of desserts that I love! She did some clever masking on the characters to make them look like they are holding the desserts in their hands, love it!
Finally, we have my card! I thought it would be fun to have the cub waving from behind the truck. By combining the stamp image with the struts supports and the Irresistible Ice-cream Treat embellishment, I attempted to mimic a giant inflatable ice cream advertising display on top of the truck! I thought it turned out pretty cool!
A BIG Thank-You to our wonderful and talented Creative Team! Head over to their blogs for more details on these cards.
Winners will be announced on our Blog and on Instagram on 4 Apr!

This set is another collaboration with Laugh and Belly! It is THE perfect set to let your loved ones know how important they are to you in a fun and playful way! You can mix and match the cute emojis with the images to create the most heart warming cards!
Now let’s take a look at our Team’s wonderful creations! First we have Ashley’s collection of 4 cards!
Ashley made four 3″ x 3″ mini cards, each with its own little sub-theme. I just love how the characters on each card have their own coordinating sentiment!
Look at those cute little faces! This set is super versatile as you can choose the different emojis to create your own images!
I’m positive that this card will make anyone smile!
Ashley used circle scalloped boarder cut to create a focal points for her nicely copic colored images. She then combined them with some colorful patterned paper underneath and voila, 4 mini cards with heartfelt messages!
Next we have Vera’s creation. I love how Vera created a photo-frame like structure for her card. The boarder detailing was created using our Dots Meet Dash Large Rectangles Overlay Stand-Alone die (which we will showcase later this week). I love the pink and grey color combination she blended for the background, so soft and beautiful!
Anja created for us a friendship card with the adorable cappuccino and froth images. She created her own patterned paper by stamping out the coffee bean image multiple times which is brilliant! The vellum sheet on top was a clever little addition to soften the look.
Davina made for us a pair of 4 bar sized note cards. For the first one she used the Cola related images as her main characters with the super fun sentiment, “You are the bubbles to my cola”! I love the polka-dotted background, the splash of white ink, and glimmery perfect perals which ties in with the ‘bubble’ theme.
For her second card, she used the pair of matcha beverages as her main image. Of course, this goes perfectly coordinated sentiment “We’re a matcha made in heaven”. So cute! These smaller notecards she chose are perfect for these relatively smaller images!
The idea of this set is mainly to spread positive vibes with encouraging messages! This is an adorable set with a bunch of kawaii elements. These punny sentiments will brighten up someone’s day for sure!
Anja used Distress Oxide ink on the Vintage Basket stencil to create her background for this card. I love the splatter of gold watercolor over on top. She also used the boarder die, Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays Stand-Alone Die to create layering for this card. I love the curry color cardstock she chose to coordinate with the sentiment!
Next we have Jo’s shaker card. Oh I just love the spicy look of this! 🙂 Head over to our YouTube channel to see in detail how she created this card! The little sushi shaker pieces are the just the perfect match!
Ashley made a clean and simple card using some chevron patterned paper as her background. She neatly lined up nicely all the cute images across the table – hope they’re not being eaten! 😛 Hop over to our YouTube channel and see how she put this card together and give it a LIKE!
Davina’s card is so loveable. This looks like a family portrait! 😀 I love how she stacked the little salmon sushi on top of each other. She decorated the curtains on top with the accessory images from the set. The white gel pen details and the embellishments she added were great final touches. The boarder detail was also created from the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlays.
A BIG Thank-You to our wonderful and talented Creative Team! Head over to their blogs for more details on these cards.

She stamped out a unique sentiment on each of her card. Each of these correlates to certain images from the set.
This set is so versatile and you can create lots of different scenes with the different elements. Do you see the elegant board details that she added to each of the cards? They were created with our Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlays – Stand-Alone Die which we will showcase a bit later in the week.
This 4×6″ stamp set has some of the most lovable critters. It is ideal for friendship and encouragement cards. These cool images can be used to create gorgeous Spring themed scenes, or fun Easter Greeting cards!
Ashley made a friendship card with this set. I love the Distress Oxide ink blended background with Spun Sugar, Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, Shabby Shutters, Tumbled Glass and Milled Lavender. She added splatters of of rainbow watercolors to match cohesively with the blended background. Who can resist such cute bunnies and kitties? I just love this happy scene.
Anja created an Easter greeting card. She chose the cute bunnies from the set as her main characters. The easter eggs, smiley rainbow, flowers, tree and butterflies are perfect accessories to add to the whole scene.
Next we have Vera’s card. She made a clean friendship card with the two pair of kitties and bunnies. Notice how the leave cluster stamps for the tree can also be used as clouds in the sky? Loving the pastel tone of this card!
