Avery Elle … Peek-a-Boo Birthday Tag Toppers

Hey there!  I’m here today with some cute gift tags made using the fabulous Peek-a-Boo Tag Toppers elle-ments

I decided to create a tag for each of the critters as I just couldn’t leave any of them out! I started by creating my tag bases using the Holiday Circle Tags elle-ments (which obviously aren’t just for the holidays!).

Once I die cut all my pieces I got to assembling.  Each one of the toppers is die cut with cut lines showing where to cut and place each part of the critter until you’ve built up the final one.  Aren’t they cute!?I picked some sentiments from the A Head Above stamp set and arched them on a stamping block so they would curve around the edges of the tags. 

For each one wearing a party hat (not the unicorn, a hat would just spoil that beautiful golden horn!) I added some colour using Copics and a puff on the end using Neon Amplify from Tsukineiko which puffs up when you heat it! (If you want to see it in action head to my Instagram  @glittermesilly) to see a reel I did!

I finished off by adding some Midnight Hemp twine and now these guys are ready to PARTAAAY!

Avery Elle … Underwater Friends with video

Hello there.  Caryn here today sharing a couple of cards and a wee video featuring the cute-as-can-be stamp set Underwater Friends.  I love to reach for the Waves die whenever I make a sea themed card – it makes the perfect backdrop!

I ended up making two cards along a similar vein and both used the die cut of the Waves die as a stencil to create a watery ink-blended background.  Before removing the stencil I spritzed with a little white paint to give the illusion of bubbles and set them aside to dry.

Meanwhile I stamped and die cut my images.  I coloured with Copics and then fixed them to my card front.

I added some glittery highlights to the images and finished with a simple sentiment in black

For My Valentine <3

It’s that time of year when the romance starts to filter in to every corner of our lives. And what shouts Valentine more than a shark that’s just ripped a chunk out of your still-beating heart?

Anyone who knows me, knows my thing for sharks. I LOVE em. There’s never an occasion where it’s inappropriate to make a card with a shark on it! IMHO anyway, lol!

I used the Waves die (my fave) to create a stencil and masked of a central rectangle using the Taylored Expressions rectangle masking stencil.I blended Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers distress oxide inks and then used some translucent paste around the edges and added glitter.

I stamped the shark and his Valentine’s gifts then coloured them with Copics and some glossy accents.

To finish I added a heat embossed sentiment and some Essentials By Ellen Crystal Clear Hearts.
