Mediterranean Breeze Stamp Set Combo includes two stamp sets: an innovative tile-building set and a background for adding a “lived in” texture.

create beautiful tile patterns in 3 sizes
all patterns are designed to repeat: stamp images side-by-side to create any size background
coordinates with Essential Squares Die Set

_{Create subtle texture and visual interest with the background stamp included in the Mediterranean Breeze Stamp Set Combo. It works wonderfully in any design. (Seen here behind the Olive Branch Die Set.)}

_{Whether you choose to “eyeball it” or use a stamp positioner, everything you need to create gorgeous multi-colored backgrounds is at your fingertips.}

_{Tile patterns don’t have to be layered – pick a size and style and stamp in a single layer for a totally different look.}

The Olive Branch Die Set looks great on its own, but we especially love using it with the stamps in the Mediterranean Breeze Combo. Check out to video above to see it in action (and notice how gorgeous is it used tone-on-tine in the sample below).

Good Energy Stamp and Die Combo

Believed to keep friends and family safe from jealousy and harm, the Good Energy Stamp and Die Set Combo creates designs inspired by the “evil eye” of Greek antiquity. Send your loved ones nothing but good vibes with this creative combo, perfect for crafting cards, tags, gifts, or anything you want to add a little Mediterranean flair to.

combo contains one 3×4 stamp set and two die sets
includes 12 organic circle shapes for making multiple sizes

We love the positive messages and kind wishes this set includes and the creative designs you can make with the multiple sizes of organic circles it includes.

Mondo Orange Blossom and Hello My Friend Stamp and Die Set Combos

Add another beautiful “Mondo” to add to your collection – we love the versatile new Mondo Orange Blossom Stamp and Die Set and think you will too. It makes an elegant design used on its own or stepped up and layered over images from Mediterranean Breeze Stamp Set Combo. We’ve capped off our designs with sentiments from Hello My Friend Stamp and Die Set Combo (which also looks amazing used with Essential Arches Die Set).
