I had the great pleasure of playing with the Mini Perfect Layers rulers and I must say – I LOVE them! They are a handy size for card makers to. I used them to create my mats for may card below.

Have you tried the new Avery Elle paper pads too? I used them to paper piece my camera from #Smile – they are such a delight to use and co-ordinate with the ink and card colours too – RESULT!!!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Emboss It!

23.07.2014 by Caryn Davies 20 Comments

Hello! It’s Wednesday which means a fab new challenge over at the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge blog. The theme of this week’s challenge is EMBOSS IT!

Can’t wait to see all the different ways to use embossing – heating embossing powders, using pastes and texture mediums or good old fashioned dry embossing!

For my card this week I used both heat embossing (for the flower image) and embossing paste (on the chicken wire stencil). I stamped the orchid from Clearly Besotted Stamps Thinking of You in Versamark then heat embossed in WOW! Bright White ep. I coloured the image using distress ink pads as water colours. The chicken wire effect was created using a The Crafters Workshop stencil and Dreamweaver embossing paste in white.

And as always, the AMAZINGLY generous peeps at Simon Says Stamp always love to reward your efforts with an awesome $50 gift voucher for one one lucky, randomly drawn participant! Yay!!

For lots of fabulous inspiration from the design team and all the challenge details please visit the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog.

Happy crafting!!!

You’re My Hero: TAYLORED EXPRESSIONS

22.07.2014 by Caryn Davies 1 Comment

Hello there. Today I’m over on the Taylored Expressions blog with a couple of funky cards created using the fantastic You’re My Hero stamp set and co-ordinating dies. I picked this set as three of my children play rock instruments and so this set is going to be VERY useful for them and their rocker friends!

I made 2 cards using one of the guitar images and that amazing splatter background – I LOVE it!

There’s lots of heat embossing going on and with the addition of a few carefully placed sprinkles (Doodlebug) the cards came together very easily (thanks to the amazing stamps of course).
