Hello and welcome to the Tombow USA and Avery Elle Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from the Jenny’s blog (Earthyscrap) but if you stumbled across my blog by chance, make sure you start the hop party at the Avery Elle Blog.

I’m so happy to be sharing some fantastic products with you today.  Tombow were generous enough to give us some of their amazing coloured pencils to play with in gorgeous pastel colours.  The Tombow’s Irojiten colored pencils in Soft Primary are so pretty and a dream to use – I was able to get a great blended look using them.  The Avery Elle Butterflies set was a perfect stamp set to try out these great pencils and I’m so pleased with how they turned out.

Avery Elle … With Sympathy

30.05.2016 by 1 Comment

Hey there!  It’s a Bank Holiday here in the UK and if all has gone to plan I’m sitting by the pool sipping something chilled in Centerparcs!!  I’m sharing a card using some of the amazing new products from the brand new Summer release from Avery Elle.  I’m using the fantastic With Sympathy die and have paired it with one of my own designs, The Reef and Coral Reef dies.  I used a blending tool to add colour to the die cuts as I didn’t want a solid appearance, I wanted it to look more textured.  I added a splatter to the background using Heidi Swapp Sea Foam spray and added everything to a panel cut with my most used craft item, Wonky Stitches!!!

Avery Elle Summer 2016 Release Blog Hop

Hooray!  It’s time for the brand new Summer 2016 release from Avery Elle!  You should have arrived here from my fun-lovin’ and fabulous friend, Karolyn Loncon‘ s blog.  If not go back to the Avery Elle Blog and start from there!

There are so many amazing new products being released today – I know you’re going to LOVE the hop and seeing the design team’s gorgeous creations.  The product I’m featuring today is one of three new stamp sets I’ve designed for this release along with a fun die set that compliments the theme perfectly.  This is a die collection I’ve been NEEDING in my collection for a long time and I’m so happy to finally have it.  I love all things ocean-related and as you may or may not know have a particular passion for sharks!  Well I have my sharks (Hello Chum) and now I have The Reef.  I was inspired by my love of The Great Barrier reef where I learned to dive and wanted to be able to create some pretty, underwater themed cards for my fellow sea-loving friends.   The dies came from my desire to have a coral/sea-weedy backdrop and these Coral Reef dies give me the ability to layer to my heart’s content!!
