Bottle tags and more!

30.12.2014 by 4 Comments

In the run up to Christmas I always try to create something for the children’s school to sell at the Christmas Fair.  This year I gathered a few of my crafty chums and fellow mums to make some wine bottle tags and little gift bags.  For the tags I used the Cheers die from Avery Elle (had so much fun with this this year) and the little bags are made using the Lawn Fawn gift bag (adore this!!).  I pulled out a bunch of my favourite holiday sets and dies and we managed to create together about 50 tags and about 20 bags (which we filled with scrummy treats made by my mum!!).

Avery Elle – BUNTING!

30.12.2014 by 1 Comment

Hey there – I’m over on the Avery Elle blog today with a card I created using the gorgeous Bunting stamp set and dies.  I created the aperture using the You’re Invited dies and backed the negative space with some patterned paper from the Everyday Collection paper pad.  I have a TON of thank you cards to make after the Christmas festivities so this is at least a start!!

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas – I ate far too much, drank far too much and slept far too little!!  Here’s to a healthier 2015 for me!!

Avery Elle – Berry Good

22.12.2014 by Leave a Comment

Hello there.  I’m whizzing in between wrapping presents, dropping children off at parties, baking and other seasonal delights to share a card featuring the fantastic Berry Good stamp and die sets from Avery Elle.  Anyone who has stepped foot near my blog over the last month will not be surprised that today’s card features lots of GOLD!  Yes, I am officially unable to create anything without it these days!  I embossed the pear stamp in Gold Tinsel embossing powder from Ranger (my favourite) and then used a gold leafing pen to add the adhesive to the inside of the pear image.  The has to dry for a few minutes before you add the gold flakes.  Obviously a photo never captures the shine properyly but I love this product – it’s so pretty.

I used the You’re Invited die to cut the mat from Avery Elle Woodgrain cardstock and some leaves for my pear to nestle on (which came from the Fbulous Florals stamp set – again heat embossed in Gold Tinsel).  The sentiments is from the Joy To The World stamp set.

Right, must dash, have a THOUSAND things left on my to do list before the BIG DAY!!

Big hugs.
