Avery Elle: Bring On The Cake

Hey there – hope you had a great weekend?!  We had a houseful for our 20th anniversary party – a wild west hoedown!  It was great fun and fabulous to be surrounded by some amazing friends!

My card today features the gorgeous Bring on the Cake stamp set from Avery Elle.  I love the images in this set – they’re a bit different from the more usual style (I love the bundt cake in there – cute!!).

I coloured the cake with Copics and created a frame using the pierced circles dies – love these!

Thanks for stopping by.

Simon Says Stamp – The Colour of Fun

colorfun

I’m so excited by the brand new release from Simon Says Stamp called The Colour of Fun.  How can you be totally inspired by that colour palette – it’s just so scrummy!  I can’t wait to collect all of those new inks but in the meantime I have been having a wee play with some of the other new products in this release.  My first card features an AMAZING die – I just LOVE it.  I die cut the circle sentiment and cupcake from white card and popped out the frosting part of the cake and scribbled some RV81 (Rose pink) Copic marker over it (just roughly, I didn’t want it to be too smooth.  I coated it in Glossy Accents and then sprinkled some distress glitter on the top.  I used a panel of patterned paper from the Sorbet collection from Avery Elle and mounted it all onto an Avery Elle notecard.

My next card is a clean and simple one layer card using the Many Thanks stamp set and the Big Scripty Greetings set.  There is a design for everyone in this release – I have so much on my wish list!!

Avery Elle: Tweet Tweet

Happy Monday to you all!  I’m  over on the Avery Elle blog today sharing a fab stamp set from the BRAND NEW summer release!  This set is called Tweet Tweet and the colouring possibilities are endless – I mean there’s a tropical bird SOMEWHERE in the the world with a blue body and a yellow tail, right?  I’m also featuring one of the FANTASTIC new die sets which make perfect double pierced circles – love them.  I took a piece of white cardstock and scribbled over an area with a few different Copics being sure to blend the colours giving a nice ombre effect.  Then I just used the dies (still attached to each other) to cut them out.  I think it sort of looks like a sunset behind the tree.
