You might have noticed by my logo that I like dragonflies. I will always buy a stamps with dragonflies in it, because it’s great for reminding people of me and my brand! That said I would have bought this Friend like you stamp set and dies anyway. It is super cool and you are going to see it quite a lot over the coming months. So you will find the stamp set on page 124 and the Friendly Silhouettes dies on page 193. They come together in a bundle so you can save 10%
Have you ever wondered why the dies have different names to that stamp sets? To me it would make the most sense to call this Friend like you Stamps and Friend like you dies. That way we would know which ones go together. Apparently the Stampin’ Up! computer doesn’t like that! Computers huh!
The colour combination is Mint Macaron and of course Pretty Peacock, my fast becoming favourite colour. The stamps are photopolymer so easy to line up and I cut a slightly oversized piece of Pretty Peacock card with the dies, then stuck it down in the right place, then trimmed to fit. That way you will always get a clean edge.
Of course a few dragonflies and Rhinestones finish off the card.

What a lovely card and beautiful color combination! Just perfect together. I agree completely about the naming of the dies and have always felt that if they were associated with a stamp set, that the two should have the same name. I have written SU about just that several times. When I bought the Apothecary Art bundle years ago, I could never find the dies that went with the stamps, until I renamed it in my storage system to Apothecary Art dies. I know the dies are able to be used by themselves or with other stamps but to me, they just are the Apothecary Art dies and store them accordingly. It is just confusing. Thank you for sharing your lovely card. It is great inspiration and a design that would work with many sentiments.
Thank you so much Nancy! I’m pleased I’m not the only one that would want them to re-name the dies!
Lovely card Amanda, I wasn’t sure about this set but think it’s on my list now
Thank you very much Annette, I’m so pleased you liked it!
