Hello! Just popping in with a card I made featuring the fabulous Gift Tags stamp set and dies from Avery Elle. I created an embossed background using a stencil from The Crafters Workshop and then die-cut the tags from the brand new Avery Elle Sorbet 6×6 patterned paper pad. The wee rabbit is from Storybook (so cute).
Thanks for stopping by.
It’s Authentique and Avery Elle week! This week the Avery Elle design team is playing with Authentique papers, Life Cards and embellishments. After visiting here, be sure to check out the Authentique Blog for even more inspiration using both companies products! Don’t forget to comment on the blogs throughout to week to be entered to win a fabulous prize!
I have to admit – when I first received the Authentique goodies I was SCARED!! I’m more of a CAS girl and the mixes of patterns and designs was intimidating!! BUT – once I started pulling some of the papers out and combining them with Avery Elle stamps and dies, the cards kinda just came together!!
For both samples, the card bases are from the “Harmony” collection “Card making stack”. This is a “book” of pre-scored A2 cards and co-ordinates with lots of other ephemera and patterned papers. It was a step out of my comfort zone but I thoroughly enjoyed it there!!!
Indeed, as I sit here with my ice cold glass of Pinot and a house full of happy children (they broke up for the summer from school today) the theme of the brand new release from Simon Says Stamp could not be more perfectly timed! The “This is The Life” release is chock full of amazing stamps, dies and stencils with gorgeous summer themes ranging from ice creams to cocktails (my favourite of the bunch – natch)!!!!
I’ve been playing with some of their new products and created this bookmark using the new Floral Bookmarking stamp set and co-ordinating dies:
Do you see that gorgeous patterned paper on the top of my bookmark too? It’s from the brand new Avery Elle 6×6 Sorbet patterned paper collection!! There’s a Brights option too!! I know…. AWESOME!!! (can’t say that word anymore without singing “Everything is Awesome” from the LEGO Movie!!!)
Make sure you pop along to the store for the details on all the products being released at SSS and for some amazing inspiration – join the blog hop which starts HERE!!
