Ok, I know what you’re going to say … how does this card fit this week’s challenge theme of Thinking of You?  Well I can’t lie … it doesn’t!  I have been pretty up against it this week after being away on holiday last week, Halloween, my daughter’s birthday etc.  I had to make my card in a rush and whilst I have used a gorgeous Penny Black die, the actual challenge theme just went … poof.. right out the window, lol!!  I hope you like it anyway, lol!!

Avery Elle … Kitsch Christmas

blogheadersmall2

Hey!  I’m sharing a card over on the Avery Elle Blog today featuring one of the sets I designed for the Fall release this year.  I can’t deny I LOVE how this set turned out and I am so pleased that lots of people seem to love it too.

To frame my main image I used the Sweet Scallops die collection – I like how this adds to the retro feel of this card.  I used distress inks to add a bit of colour around the card edges and on the oval panel and finished with a few little stars and sentiment from Retro Ornaments.

Oh, and for those who have been asking – there’s a restock of all stamps due in the store at the end of the week – yay!!

Thanks for stopping by x

Simon Says … Anything Goes (with Lawn Fawn)

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

We are saying a sad farewell to our lovely teamie, Jennifer, this week. We will miss you, and your wicked sense of humour, lots but would like to wish you the very best of luck for the future xxx

This week the challenge is

Anything Goes

I had a ball creating this spooky little Halloween treat box for this week’s challenge.  Lawn Fawn make amazing box dies and this one is so cute.  I can see me getting lots of use out of it in the run up to Christmas!  BUT, we’ve got Halloween to enjoy before that 🙂

This was pretty simple to put together.  I cut the box out of SSS Fog cardstock and then used the circle die from Stitched Tree Borders to make an window (I put acetate behind it to stop the candy corn from falling out!)  I then cut the tree border in black and lined it up on the box so it falls in front of the window. I created the sentiment from Milo’s ABC’s which is heat embossed in white and then finished  off with a wee bit of Doodlebug twine in Beetle Black!
