I saw this layout on their blog and just loved what Megan did with the alphabet. Just a simple strip of paper + the letter stickers makes for a really cool title treatment. Plus the font style is so fresh and fun, don't you think?

Letter Stickers
Many paper lines come with coordinating letter sticker sheets. Here is an example of a new one from Bella Boulevard. This one comes with all kinds of tabs, stickers, borders PLUS a really cool alphabet.

Sizzix meets Hero Arts
This is a totally cool new idea by 2 or our favorite companies. Take Hero Arts stamps and team them with Sizzix and you get TWO new ways to create.
With these sets, you get a stamp and a coordinating embossing folder. So once you've stamped the image, you can line it up with the matching embossing folder to get it some amazing texture.
With these sets, you get a stamp with coordinating dies. So for example on this one, once you've stamped the bike, you can then die cut it by running it through your Sizzix or Cuttlebug machine using the matching die. Sure beats hand cutting out those stamped images!!
