I have to admit – when I first received the Authentique goodies I was SCARED!!  I’m more of a CAS girl and the mixes of patterns and designs was intimidating!!  BUT – once I started pulling some of the papers out and combining them with Avery Elle stamps and dies, the cards kinda just came together!!

For both samples, the card bases are from the “Harmony” collection “Card making stack”.  This is a “book” of pre-scored A2 cards and co-ordinates with lots of other ephemera and patterned papers.  It was a step out of my comfort zone but I thoroughly enjoyed it there!!!

Happy Father’s Day (I know – it’s late!!)

26.06.2014 by 1 Comment

Hello all – I’m here today with a card I made using some of my favourite Simon Says Stamp exclusive products.  I am lucky enough to have both the Falling Stars AND Falling Hearts dies and I absolutely love them!  They cut beautifully and instantly “make” any card!  There isn’t much more needed when you have such an awesome die like this one!!  I also used Simon’s Happy word die.  The size of this die is perfect for a card front!

Happy Father's Day.The Father’s Day sentiment (from Simply Said: Happy) from Avery Elle is also available at Simon Says Stamp .  By the way, they have a great discount code available until 30th June (just quote DSC799) and you can get $7.99 off your order!!  Yay!!

Avery Elle – Dotted Dies

25.06.2014 by 1 Comment

Good morning everyone – here today with a card I made using one the amazing new dies from Avery Elle.  The Dotted Elle-ments set contains a large dotted frame that fits perfectly onto the front of a standard A2 card and here I’ve used it with some twine to give a stitched look to my card.  For the back ground I used some hearts from the Sending You stamp set as well as the little paper aeroplane and dashed “trail”.  The sentiment is also from that set.  The cute wee character is Goldie from Red and Goldie.

dotted 1There are some VERY exciting things happening behind the scenes at Avery Elle that I’m DYING to spill the beans about but my lips are sealed for now.  Let’s just say – it’s something you’re ALL going to go gaga over – that is all!!

Thanks for stopping by.
