I can’t wait to see how you interpret this challenge – there are so many options available to you – stamps, paper, embossing folders, stencils… the list is endless!  Lets make Summer last as long as possible!!

For my card this week I grabbed one of my favourite stamp sets Ice Cream Dreams designed by Kristina Werner for by Simon Says Stamp.  I have been dying to play with this set – the images are just gorgeous.  I stamped 3 popsicles and coloured them using Copics and finished them off with a nice thick coat of glossy accents!

Avery Elle: #Smile!

11.08.2014 by 5 Comments

Hello there!  Today I’m sharing a card made with the amazing #SMILE stamp set from Avery Elle.  I LOVE this set – the camera is a great size for all kinds of techniques (I loved using it with the paper piecing technique HERE).  Today I’ve just gone with a wee bit of Copic colouring and some perfectly placed Glossy Accents and kept it simple.  The fabulous Avery Elle cardstock strips give it a bold lift of colour too.

Smile 1I love the trendy # sentiments and I think this set is great for the younger generation (so I gave it to my niece on her 13th birthday!!).

As it happens there is a fun challenge going on at the moment over at Moxie Fab World entitled “Clicking Cameras” and so I thought it’d be almost rude not to share this card over there!!!  They’re offering a gorgeous stamp set from Paper Smooches too – yay!

I’m so excited to see the next issue of Simply Cards and Papercrafts magazine- mainly because my lovely friend Aimes (Amy Wanford) is the new Creative Editor (wow) but also because I was asked to submit a few cards using some AMAZING digi stamps offered free with the issue and which are featured in it!  Here’s a little sneak peak of the magazine which will be available to purchase in the UK on Thursday 14th August.  (THAT’S my wee cat card in the top left hand corner – squeal!!).

I want to thank Aimes for allowing me the honour of designing for such an amazing publication and hope you get a chance to pick one up if you see it in your local newsagents.
