Be Jolly

Hello crafty peeps – today I’m over on the Avery Elle blog sharing a card featuring one of my favourite sets from the Fall release – Be Jolly.  This is another set designed by the insanely talented Heather Campbell – isn’t that the cutest snowman ever??  I created a panel by cutting a snow slope from white card using Custom Panels and layered it onto some Sea Glass card.  I then used Finished Frames to cut the two-tone panel.  The background effect was created with the Falling Snow stencil from Simon Says Stamp with white embossing paste which I then coated with Glitter Ritz white glitter. I finished the top of the slope with white Flower Soft (which I added to the snowman’s hat too)!.

More Simon Says Stamp dies – my new favourite!

Did I mention how much I love the new die collections from Simon Says Stamp??  No?  Well i LOOOOOOVE them – I mean, REALLY love them!  The little houses from the Village set and the Stitched Slopes and Hills – they’re amazing!  I know there are lots of other companies out there with similar things (I have quite a few and love them all too) but there’s something about the SSS ones – the addition of the stitch-only dies for the slopes….genius!!  What a world of options they open up!!

Winter village 1I used the Village and slopes dies on my card today – such an easy design to create yet  SOOO Christmassy and simple to mass produce – imagine the different colour options?  The added bling of sequins just adds the right amount of sparkle too!  I think I’ll be making quite a few of these this year!!
