Bee Mine – Avery Elle

Hi there – I’m over on the Avery Elle blog today featuring the cutest little stamp set ever, Bee Mine.  This also has a co-ordinating die set with a sweet little dotted “trail” for the bees  – how gorgeous is that?  For the diagonal strip behind the focal image I used two of the border dies from Dotted Borders and also used Finished Frames on the front mat of the card.  I coloured the images with Copics and finshed it all off with a bit of dazzle with some red Stickles and Wink of Stella.

Simon Says Stamp – Better Together Release

better together

Hello – just popping in with a card I created using the gorgeous Locking Hearts stamp set from Simon Says Stamp from their brand new Better Together release.  I used Bundle of Stitched Shapes again on this card – I think it’s my most used set of dies of ALL time!!

Better TogetherI cut the banner from acetate and then used gold flakes on the back of it to give a fabulous gold shimmer – I LOVE this product!  I used Simon Says Stamp Red Lipstick ink (such a deep red – it’s gorgeous) to stamp the larger of the interlocking hearts and the smaller one in Versamark which I embossed in Gold Tinsel EP from Ranger.  I did actually attempt a video for this card but my camera died halfway through and it was all a bit of a disaster!  Maybe I’ll try again on my next card!

Ok , time to get the kiddos to bed and open a teeny bottle of wine – well, it is nearly Christmas!

My all-time favourite Christmas film is Elf – I NEVER tire of it and this Fa La La stamp from Kaisercraft features one of my favourite quotes!  I’ve been making a bundle of these wine bottle tags this year and for this one I die cut the Avery Elle Cheers die from green card and then made a smaller panel from white.  I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and then embossed it in Silver Tinsel embossing powder from Ranger.  I added a bit of silver thread and some gems and kept it nice and simple.
