AE_PPP

Woohoo – Today is DAY 1 of a 2 day blog hop event joining the creative forces of Avery Elle and Pretty Pink Posh. Both the Design Teams are participating in this fabulous journey and if you’re on the right road, you should have arrived from the wonderful blog of HEATHER HOFFMAN. The full list in down below if you’ve gotten lost!!

In order to be in with a chance of winning a $25 Avery Elle gift certificate or a $25 Pretty Pink Posh gift certificate make sure you leave a comment on every blog by July 24th. 4 winners will be picked at random and announced on both the Avery Elle and Pretty Pink Posh Blogs so the more you comment the more chance there is of winning!

So onto my card. I paired the Avery Elle Band Camp stamp set with the gorgeous Scalloped Squares from PPP. There’s also some extra sparkle thanks to some PPP sequins in Aquamarine and Lemon Drop. I used Avery Elle Pigment inks to blend my background and tie the whole theme together.

Masterpieces_927_gallery

HAPPY Saturday! You should have hopped here from the blog of the amazingly talented JANA MILLEN but if you want to go back to the start the head to the SIMON SAYS STAMP NOW!

So as if the arrival of the weekend wasn’t reason enough to celebrate, today I also get to join in with one AMAZING blog hop in honour of the brand new (only became available yesterday) MASTERPIECE BOX from Simon Says Stamp. If you don’t already know, this is a very special chance to purchase products from some of the leading companies in the craft industry ahead of their release date and all in one amazing box! Imagine that parcel arriving on your doorstep!! For every comment you leave on the your trip round the hop stops today, you have a chance of winning a $25 Simon Says Stamp gift certificate too – woohoo! This box is in LIMITED quantities and once it’s sold out it won’t be restocked – just sayin’ 😉

So I’ve been lucky enough to be able to play with a few of these gorgeous products over the last few days and here’s what I have to share.

First up are two cards I made using a stunning set from Simon Says Stamp called Oh Happy Day. The is card uses a couple of the open flowers and a masking technique to create a frame around the sentiment. I chose some pretty, warm colours Simon Says Stamp inks and added some sparkle to them with a clear Wink of Stella pen.

Next, I chose the large solid bloom from the same set and stamped it in three colours of pink and purple. I die cut a circle and the Hugs sentiment (also from Simon Says Stamp) in black and adhered them to the card base and finished off with a few Doodlebug Sprinkles in black.

My final card feature a couple of sweet new sets from Clearly Besotted. Originally designed for use in your planners I thought I would use them on a card instead. I stamped a bunch of the Panda Planner images over a piece of white cardstock and chose a stamp from the smaller Penguin Planner set to sit in amongst them. To make him stand out a wee bit more I coated him in Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents. The sentiment is from a perviously released Simon Says Stamp set called Happy Days.

So now you can pop along to the next stop on the hop which is the gorgeous BARB ENGLER!

And here’s the full list – just in case you missed any out!

Simon Says … Create a Scene

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

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

This week the challenge is

Create A Scene

We are showcasing Newton’s Nook Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some 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

My card this week is inspired by the latest addition to the Davies household – our Ragdoll kitten, Loki! He’s a wee scamp, just like Newton! I coloured the image with Copics and fussy cut it out. To set the scene I used the frame die from the new MFT Time for Bubbly set to create an aperture and used Distress Inks to blend a sky backdrop. I added a little picket fence and some greenery for a bit more dimension.
