Hey! Today I’m on the Avery Elle Blog with this card using the City Celebrations die. This has so many uses and offers a ton of different ways to use it – check what the other DT members have made over on the blog. I kept this card simple but BRIGHT by adding some shading to the buildings but made the balloons pop by colouring them with Zig Clan Colour Markers. The panel is mounted onto a Magenta card base with foam tape – and that’s it!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
Thank you for joining us for the last week’s challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week the challenge is
More Than One Die Cut/Punch
This week we are showcasing Memory Box. You don’t have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
So this week I’ve been playing with WOW! heat reactive foil! I wanted a subtle yet striking background for my Memory Box Stitched Heart Trio die cuts so pulled out an older set from Avery Elle called Brushed – and stamped one of the brush strokes three times in Versamark Ink. I then used the WOW! Bonding powder and sprinkled it over the stamped images much as you would embossing powder. When you then heat it it goes tacky and whilst it’s still hot, you add over the foil. I burnished it a little with a bone folder and then peeled back the foil to reveal the silver design! For the rest of the card I simply die cut the hearts from cream and Doll Pink card stock and layered them up alternatively. I added them to my card and finished off with a few spots of Silver Moondust Nuovo drops. The sentiment, which is also foiled is from one of my favourite go-to die sets from Avery Elle, Sentimental.
Hello – I’m up on the Avery Elle Blog today with a wine bottle tag I created using some gorgeous products from the current Avery Elle release. I started by cutting a wine bottle tag from white card stock and stamped the Thank You sentiment from the Sip Sip Hooray stamp set in Avery Elle Aquamarine pigment ink. Next I stamped and white heat embossed the flower stamp from the Mimosas stamp set and coloured it with a water colour technique using Zig Clean Colour markers. I glued this onto the tag and it was done!! This is such a handy die to have and turns a gift of wine into something much more personal!
Please make sure to stop by the Avery Elle Blog every day for lots of inspiration.
