Hi peeps! I got some new STAMPlorations stash recently, namely Art Marks 2 and Joy. As I sat there looking at the two sets side by side, I started to see how I could use some of the images in Art Marks 2 for Christmas cards.

{STAMPlorations Belated 6th Birthday} Day 5 - Cover Plate Dies
Hello all you lovely crafters! We are so happy you have joined us for the final day of our big 6th Birthday bash. We hope you have enjoyed our five days of festive launches and inspiration as much as we have enjoyed sharing our crafts with you. We would love to hear from you what you think about our new products and which one(s) are your favourites? Thank you to all of you who have already left comments and played along with our Birthday Linky Party and Wishlist Linky Party. If you haven't, fear not. There is still time to join us as you can link up until November 5th. Don't forget there are fabulous prizes to win, including $40 worth of wishlist products and a whopping $50 gift code to the STAMPlorations store.
We are ending our birthday week product launch by sharing our latest festive cover plate dies Zen Doodled Birthday Cake Cover Plate Die and Zen Doodled Birthday Gifts Cover Plate Die.
We have an impressive representation of STAMPlorations designers sharing how they were inspired by the fun cover plate dies. As you will see, cover plates can be used for so many different types of craft, such as die-cutting, paper piecing and embossing. And that doesn't take into account all the things you can do with the die cuts, such as use them for inking, Gelli printing, watercoloring... only your imagination will set the limits for what you can create.
