Get Cracking On Christmas November 2018

 

 

Yes, it’s the 3rd Thursday of the month which means it’s time to Get Cracking On Christmas #getcrackingonchristmas.  You can read all about the inspiration behind this challenge HERE but it’s really just a fun idea designed to get us making our holiday cards in plenty of time so we’re not rushing at the last minute.  Make sure to pop over and visit my fellow crafters joining in Jenn Shurkus, Cheiron Brandon and Chari Moss

This month I have been playing with the new release from Avery Elle and thought these wee cacti from the Stuck on You set would look very smart dressed up for the holiday season.  I knew straight away that the Santa hat from the Dear Santa stamp set would fit these wee guys perfectly.  I stamped and die cut some sprigs of holly from the same set too and grabbed a sentiment from the Quirky Christmas stamp set from last month’s Avery Elle release.  I kept it simple with a strip of striped paper from MFT and a thin strip of red glitter Washi tape.  Some glitter glue dotted here and there and the card is done!

 

 

 

Whilst I had my Dear Santa set out I was inspired to create another card.  I love the Strands die from Ellen Hutson so started with this and created a panel for the front of the card and adhered some glitter paper behind it  for some mega bling.  I stamped the Plaid background from Concord & 9th onto a white card base using Strawberry pigment ink from Avery Elle.  I stamped, coloured and die cut the cat from the Dear Santa set and added her to the card from and finished it off with a sentiment from the Vintage Ornaments set.

Avery Elle … Three Hearts Die

Hey there,  I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today sharing a clean and simple card featuring the gorgeous new Three Hearts Die.  This die, like the previously released Three Stars die has so many uses and not just for Valentines day either.  I selected three of the striped papers from the Sorbet Collection paper pack and used a great sentiment (LOVE the font) from the new Some Bunny stamp set.

I die cut a white panel using the three hearts die and adhered the different patterned papers behind each aperture ensuring the stripes are angled in different directions.  I stamped the sentiment in Fog Dye ink and finished off by wrapping some white twine around the panel and popping it using foam tape onto a white card base.

Supplies:

Three Hearts Die

Some Bunny Stamp Set

Sorbet Collection Paper Pack

Fog Dye Ink

Avery Elle Winter 2018 Release Blog Hop

Hey there!  I’m so excited to tell you that the Avery Elle Winter 2018 release is now live!  There’s so much fun in this release and there’s something for everyone – hop along for lots of inspiration and all the details on the new products.  You should’ve landed here from the Avery Elle Blog but a full list of hoppers is below if you want to start at the beginning.

For my card I’m sharing a design using the fabulous And Then sentiment set along with a new die called Tons of Hearts.I created a piece of background paper using  Avery Elle Cherry Liquid Watercolour.  I then used the Tons of Hearts die to create a panel and adhered the watercolour piece behind it.  I wrapped some twine around the bottom of the panel and stamped the “I Choose You Sentiment” from And Then in Magenta Pigment ink in the centre of the panel.  To finish I added a small blob of glossy accents to the tiny heart in the centre of the “O”

The next stop on the hop is the fabulous Heather Campbell.
