Avery Elle – Naughty or Nice

05.10.2015 by 2 Comments

Hi there!  Today I’m over on the Avery Elle blog sharing a fun little Christmas project I created using the Naughty or Nice stamp set and the Classic Bag Elle-Ments die.  I love this gift bag die – it’s so easy to assemble and is great for any occasion.  I heat embossed the design using white embossing powder onto the front of the bag and die cut two tags from the Scalloped Banner Elle-ments.  The “Love, Santa” was stamped in red and added to the bag finished off with a red polka dot bow!!

It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to play with my Clearly Besotted stamps and boy, have I missed it!  I was so chuffed to see we were featuring them for this week’s Wednesday Challenge but then I had a struggle to decide which of the many sets to use!  One of my all-time favourites is Modern Christmas (designed by my bestie Amy Gray) and as I’m in total Christmas mode I thought this would be the perfect one to ink up!  I started by heat embossing in white, three of the Christmas trees and then used Abandoned Coral Distress ink mixed with a little water to add colour to them.  For the card panel I sponged some of the same colour mixed with a little Spun Sugar Distress ink but I wanted a little more “something”!  So, I took an acrylic block and scribbled some AC ink onto it and spritzed with water to make a puddle.  I then used a small paintbrush to flick splatters onto the card base and also mixed in a little Perfect Pearls for a touch of shimmer.  To finish I arranged the tress onto foam adhesive and added a few Iridescent sequins from Little Things From Lucy’s Cards then stamped the sentiment in Smoke ink from Simon Says Stamp.

Avery Elle – Christmas Florals

21.09.2015 by Leave a Comment

Hello – popping in with a card  I have over on the Avery Elle blog today featuring the gorgeous Christmas Florals stamps and dies.  I created an aperture in a panel of white card using the Sweet Scallops die set and inlaid a black frame.  I used Cherry pigment ink to stamp and die cut some of the poinsettia blooms and Jungle ink for the foliage.  The sentiment was stamped inside the aperture and the the top panel popped up with foam adhesive.

Hope you’ve had a fun weekend where ever you are in the world!!
