I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today to share a card featuring the gorgeous Simply Said: You stamp set and matching die. I love this series of products from Avery Elle – the font combinations are always really versatile.
I used a couple of the stunning papers from the Everyday Paper Pad and placed some vellum over the heart paper to mute it down a little and help make the YOU pop! The little glittered chevron (from Chevron Bits) adds a wee bit extra detail and some essential sparkle!!

For my card today which celebrates the “new” I’ve used some gorgeous new Simon Says Stamp goodies that I got in my last order. The beautiful Delicate Thistle die was sent to me from my lovely friend and team-mate Melissa Bove – thank you so much Melissa. I am a originally from Glasgow (but have lived in England for the past 20 years) so the thistle (which is Scotland’s national flower if you didn’t know) is a special symbol for me and I just adore this die. I die cut it twice and then coloured it with Distress Markers before finally giving it a sheen with a good coat of Studio Calico shine spray. For the background to my card I used the Tiny Dots stencil from Simon with some embossing paste.
I created the sentiment using the new Elle’s Alpha’s from Avery Elle (which I didn’t line up all that well) and just in case you didn’t know – Hogmanay is what we Scots call New Year!!!
Thanks for popping by – I’m looking forward to visiting your blogs this weeks and getting lots of lovely inspiration!!

Hello again! Another day of Clearly Besotted teasers here and today I’m sharing a sneak peak at the AMAZING In Print stamp set. This is the most adorable set EVER! I just love it. The concept was created by Steph’s little girl Jasmine – woo hoo Jas! There is a thumbprint stamp and then lots of little critter faces that you can add to create the most adorable little creatures – perfect for cards for children and so easy to use. I made these three little (4-bar size) note cards in no time at all.
I have yet more to share with you tomorrow so stay tuned!!!
