Avery Elle – Stockings

Hey there – I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a bright and funky Christmas card made with the Stockings stamp set.  I coloured them with Copics and then trimmed each one out.  I used some black twine wrapped around the scalloped flag and gold embossed the sentiment.  Simple but bold at the same time 🙂

the stockings were hung

Hey there – it’s a great theme this week, especially around the time of Remembrance and Veterans days – definitely a time to keep folks in our thoughts.  Although I know it has a very summery feel to it I was dying to play with this set of Colour Layering Hibiscus flowers from Hero Arts.  I bought it a wee while ago and have only just managed to ink it up (did you catch me on Periscope where I created these with the MISTI?).  I used some lovely SimonSays Stamp inks (I love how they blend together – perfect for multi-step images like this).   I also used the Wavy Scalloped Borders dies – another new-to-me item and I LOVE them!!  I have a special family in mind to whom I will be sending this card.  Tragically, one of the teachers at my daughter’s school has suddenly passed away – she was amazing and will leave a big gap in her place.

Thinking of You

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

Avery Elle – Oh What Fun

Hey – it’s really starting to feel like Christmas round here!  The nights are dark and chilly and all the tv adverts have started – I’m lovin’ it!!  Up on the Avery Elle blog today I have this jolly little card featuring a very cheery looking Santa!  He’s even more jolly with his fuzzy beard and fluffy jacket!  I used Flower Soft in Polar White and haven’t used it in FOREVER!  Love rediscovering old products for days of yore!!!

oh what fun
