My Favourite Things is one of my favourite stamp companies – they have such fantastic designs and everything just speaks to my style of cardmaking – clean lines, amazing dies etc.  I am always excited to play with their products and have used three of my favourite products on my card today – the flamingo dies, the leafy greenery dies and the stitched vertical cover up die.  To give it some fun texture I cut the foliage from some awesome green glitter cardstock (although I’d like to make it again and use felt just for a different look)!  It’s really sparkly in real life but as usual the camera just doesn’t do it justice!!

Simon Says Stamp March 2016 Card Kit

March-2016-Card-Kit-600-draft1

I’ve getting rather busy with the AMAZING March 2016 card kit from Simon Says Stamp.  I am IN LOVE with this kit and cannot believe how much value is packed into it!  Having the co-ordinating dies to go with the stamp set is SO fabulous!  I’ve made a total of 4 cards so far using the kit and only a few extra dies from my Simon Says Stamp collection.  Hope you like them!!  I thought the best place to start was to create a bunch of Peeps and then just go from there!  They are white heat embossed and then coloured with Zig Clean Colour Markers before getting a liberal coating of Distress Rock Candy Glitter!

Avery Elle Spring 2016 Release – Sentimental

Happy LEAP DAY everyone!  Today I am sharing a card featuring one of the runaway success stories of the newest release from Avery Elle (to be fair, the whole release has been a runaway success – wow!).  The Sentimental stamps and dies are probably one the most useful and unique sets on the market right now.  It’s been suggested that I may need some sort of intervention over my heavy use of the Wonky Stitches die set (my most precious!!) but as I look at this Sentimental set – it may well be joining it!!  I have paired the HUGS die (arguably my favourite from the set) with the STUUUUNNNING Canopy stamp set.  I LOVE this stamp.  It’s so pretty.  I heat embossed the stamp in white and then used some Zig Clean Colour Markers to water colour inside.  I love the bright, vibrant colour you get from the Zig markers – they are fantastic.

Sentimental

I used Aquamarine cardstock (from a trimmed down notecard)  and die cut the hugs sentiment and a strip for layering behind my front panel.  To add a delicate detail to the front of the panel I used the scalloped edge from the Dotted Border Dies – another essential in your die collection!!

Please check out the Avery Elle Blog everyday for lots of inspiration from the fantastic Design Team.

Thanks for stopping by.
