Today I have cards to share with you I created using the GLAD WE’RE FRIENDS stamp set and the STYLISH SHAPES DIES. Both are found in the STAMPIN’ UP!®️ 2022-2023 ANNUAL CATALOG. The cards are Tent Topper Cards. The card style has been around forever! It is easy to make, fits inside a Stampin’ Up! Medium Envelope (A-2 size), and is a fun twist on the regular card base. It measure 5 1/2” x4 1/4” when assembled. Let’s take a look at the cards:

COMPARING & CONTRASTING THE STYLISH SHAPES DIES AND THE STITCHED SHAPES DIES (RETIRED)
I know some of you have the Stitched Shapes Dies. This set of dies retired with the end of the STAMPIN’ UP! 2020 - 2021 ANNUAL CATALOG. (About 1 year ago) The STYLISH SHAPES DIES are similar, but also quite different. I thought we would take a look at both sets of dies to help give you a better feel for whether or not you want to add the STYLISH SHAPES DIES to your collection!

I like both sets of dies. The STITCHED SHAPES DIES are great for layering as are the STYLISH SHAPES DIES. I like that the STITCHED SHAPES DIES contain the ovals, but I also like the banner dies on the STYLISH SHAPES DIES. The circles and squares in each set are different sizes. This means if you have both sets of dies there are even more options for layering. I feel the “stitching” and the “paper piercing” designs compliment each other. It is a nice feature to have the two rows of edging design on the STYLISH SHAPES DIES as this allows you to use the die cut and the die cut negative with that great edging giving both die cut pieces a great finished look! The STITCHED SHAPES DIES were my “go to”set of dies. I think the STYLISH SHAPES DIES will be another one of my “go to” set of dies!
That’s all for today! Thank you for stopping by. Until next time…
Stamp Happy!
