Santa Claus is Coming To Town

Greetings! Today I’m sharing a card featuring a fabulous Avery Elle set called Joy To The World. The set features some gorgeous images designed to create a festive globe. However, the round motifs can be used alone too as I have done here with my card.

The circle image is stamped and heat embossed in white and then I’ve painted some dark cobalt blue water colour over the image in a freestyle way to represent a night sky. The white image then pops and looks like a full moon (that’s how I see it anyway, lol)!!.

Thanks for visiting.

Hugs,

Caryn xxx

More Simon Says Stamp dies – my new favourite!

Did I mention how much I love the new die collections from Simon Says Stamp?? No? Well i LOOOOOOVE them – I mean, REALLY love them! The little houses from the Village set and the Stitched Slopes and Hills – they’re amazing! I know there are lots of other companies out there with similar things (I have quite a few and love them all too) but there’s something about the SSS ones – the addition of the stitch-only dies for the slopes….genius!! What a world of options they open up!!

I used the Village and slopes dies on my card today – such an easy design to create yet SOOO Christmassy and simple to mass produce – imagine the different colour options? The added bling of sequins just adds the right amount of sparkle too! I think I’ll be making quite a few of these this year!!

Simon Says …. get KRAFTY!

22.10.2014 by Caryn Davies 10 Comments

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,

GET CRAFTY AND USE KRAFT

We are showcasing HERO ARTS Products this week, you don’t have to use them but if you do have them we would love to see them used.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

We have been a very lucky design team this week – the fabulous peeps at Hero Arts sent us all some amazing goodies to play with and I was lucky enough to receive the Christmas Crystals stamp set and a fabulous cling background stamp (so sorry – I don’t know the name of it!!).

I stamped the kraft panel in Versamark and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder. I then stamped and embossed the three ornaments in gold and added glitter to the different facets in shades of blue and green. As you know – glitter is murder to capture in a photo!! I added a coat of Glossy Accents over the top so the whole thing is SUPER shiny!!

I hope you can get a chance to play along this week – I love to use kraft card so am looking forward to seeing all of your fabulous creations!

There are fabulous Give Aways and inspiration from fabulous designers on a daily basis over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog , if you haven’t subscribed by email you may want to so you don’t miss out
