Avery Elle … Holiday Spirits

17.10.2016 by Caryn Davies Leave a Comment

Hello – I’m up on the Avery Elle Blog today along with my teamie Yainea sharing a card that’s bound to get you in the mood for some Holiday Spirits! I’ve combined two sets from Avery Elle – Holiday Spirits and Sweet Tidings to make a welcoming little scene that I’m sure anyone would appreciate coming home to on a cold, Winter’s night! Everything is coloured using Copics and to add a wee bit of festive sparkle I’ve given everything a wee dusting here and there with some Rock Candy Distress Glitter (LOVE this stuff).

Totally Resistible

Aw, Christmas is definitely in the air for me (and my long-suffering family) now! I’ve started my shopping and planning and am starting to get SO excited! I have another Christmas card to share this week and thought the gorgeous Birch Block 2 stamp from Impression Obsession would make a great winter backdrop for my little deer (from Storybook by Avery Elle). I stamped it using Versamark onto vellum and heat embossed it in white. I then used Distress inks over the top to add the subtle blue background colour (that’s my resist technique). I created a frame using the Double Pierced Squares (Avery Elle) and added a cluster of sparkling clear sequins (my favourite Moonshine mix from Simon Says Stamp). The sentiment and snowflake (which I LOVE) are from the STAMPtember release collaboration with Avery Elle.

Simon Says … Halloween Inspiration

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Anything Goes Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Halloween Inspiration

the lovely Jenn Shurkus has made us this fabulous Inspiration Board to use. We don’t necessarily have to make a Halloween creation, we can use the board however we like

This week we are showcasing our very own Simon Says Stamp Products You don’t have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Don’t you just love this inspiration board? Jenn did an amazing job picking some PURRFECT spooky images and I was naturally drawn to the cat silhouette! I blended my orange background using Distress inks and then used a partial die-cutting technique to create the aperture with the cat sitting just like in the photo above! I added some little stars from Retro Ornaments and the Boo sentiment from Bag It and Tag It from Taylored Expressions before adding a light layer of shimmer. It’s so sparkly in real life!
