Avery Elle … Simple Sentiments

Hey, I’m on the Avery Elle Blog today with a card showing a way to use the Simple Sentiments stamp set.  I decided to use the “Thank You” related sentiments in the set together to create a tone on tone background for a subtle way to include a sentiment without the need for a strip or open space.

I started with a bright green piece of card and stamped the sentiments in Celery pigment ink to cover the panel.  I then used a piece of Celery striped paper from the Jewel Paper Pad and adhered it to the lower section and then die cut it using Double Pierced Rectangles to create the mat.  I added some silver sparkle washi tape along the join.

I used the Wonky Scalloped Circle Frame for more interest in the background and then stamped and coloured (using Zig Clean Colour Markers) the Floral Bouquet image before die cutting and adding to the card front.  To finish I added some glitter to the flower centres.

Supplies:

Simple Sentiments Stamp Set

Floral Bouquet Stamp Set

Floral Bouquet Elle-ments

Wonky Circle Frame

Celery Pigment Ink

Dotted Rectangle Elle-ments

Water Colouring with Distress Oxides and a video!

Hello – I’m popping in with a rare post that has nothing to do with a design team!!  I don’t often get time to make cards other than for the design teams I’m on (Avery Elle and Simon Says Stamp) but today this card is a “just for fun” card using a stamp set called Hello Lovely by Concord & 9th that I’ve been coveting for AGES!!

At the same time as getting this set I also got other happy mail in the form of my latest order from Simon Says Stamp and in it there were some DISTRESS OXIDE INKS!  Yes, been dying to get hold of these since I saw them at CHA in January.  So anyway, here’s a couple of cards I’ve made with this stamp set.  The first uses the Distress Oxides as a water colouring medium (LOVE) and on the second I kept it simple and coloured just part of the design using a couple of Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers.  I even created a video too!!

Avery Elle… Wood You?

Popping with a quick post to share my Avery Elle card for today.  I hope you’ve all enjoyed the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER and are not feeling to over-indulged!!  I’ve used the super cute Wood You stamp set and created a thank you card using some wood effect paper and one of the sentiments from the Tag For All die set.

wood-you



Well, as I said, this is super quick – I’m going to Andorra in a few hours and haven’t even packed, lol!!!
