Clearly Besotted : Best Dad

I’m back with another little glimpse at one of the new sets being released this month at Clearly Besotted.  This is a cute little set called Best Dad – and is perfect for little boy’s birthdays, Father’s Day etc.

I started with a 4-bar sized card base and cut a piece of striped paper from the Avery Elle neutrals paper pad and used a circle die to create and aperture.  I stamped, cut and coloured the little sailboat from the set and also used the wave border die to make a little scene!  The sentiment is stamped in Aquamarine ink from Avery Elle I finished with a little bit of twine to keep in with the nautical feel!

 

Make sure you check out Steph’s blog and the rest of the design team and our two amazing guest designers Rebecca and Nicole.

#TBT Avery Elle: Write It

On the first Thursday of the month (hey, that’s today!) the Avery Elle DT are featuring one of the older classics from the Avery Elle inventory.  This month we have been playing with Write It – an amazing sentiment set with one of the coolest fonts ever! I used a rainbow of different Distress ink colours and masked off the top and bottom of my card.  I used a “direct to paper” technique and then added a strip of gold glitter paper to the top and bottom to finish it off.  The sentiment is stamped in Versafine Onyx Black.

Clearly Besotted – Simply Scrumptious.

Teaser Time

 

Today is the first day of teasers over at Clearly Besotted and this month (as always) there are 7 gorgeous new stamp sets all with co-ordinating dies.  For my card today I’m featuring the stunning Simply Scrumptious set.  You can create beautiful wreaths and arrange them with flowers or strawberries and accent with tendrils and swirls!  I love this set – it just screams summer!  The dies make creating the most beautiful wreaths really easy – I’m in love!

The design team have been busy making samples and this month we’re lucky to have Rebecca from Melly Moo and Nicole Picadura from Scraps and Stamps joining us too – woo hoo!

I’ll be back tomorrow with another little peek at the new release.
