I fell in love with the Full of Life Suite the moment I saw it at our annual Stampin' Up! convention, which I attended in March. As a perk of being a demonstrator, we get to pre-order some products from the new catalog early and I was sad that this wasn't available for that pre-order! I had to wait until the catalog launched in the beginning of May to order this wonderful suite of products.
As soon as I got this suite, I started playing with it. The stamp set has 14 stamps and the coordinating die set has 9. The DSP pack is 6" x 6" and was created with watercolors, so it's vibrant, and luscious, and just my style! There are two additional pieces to the suite, both iridescent - Faceted Gems and Striped Trim (ribbon). The more cards I created with this suite, the more I loved it.
Before we begin making the card in the video, take a look at the stamps and dies. I made this helpful chart to display them and show how the dies and stamps coordinate. The large heart stays attached to the panel you cut it from unless you make a small cut as I indicate. When you do that, you'll end up with the outer ring and the leafy heart. Of course, you can just use the outer heart ring which leaves a solid heart (again, with a small extra cut). The two smaller hearts are stamped as one stamp, but the die will separate them into two individual hearts. I love how the word friend can be stamped or die cut, then both can be backed with the bubble layer of friend. The color splash (shown in blue ink) is great for placing a pop of color behind words. I show it stamped off twice to help you visualize how to use it in your cards.
