ANYTHING GOES

We are showcasing our very own SIMON SAYS STAMP PRODUCTS this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used!

My card this week is a little on the “festive” side but as they say, you can start too early for Christmas!! I used my Heidi Swapp Minc Mini to foil some cardstock in gold and teal and then die cut the Reverse Confetti Layered Snowflake. This is such a pretty die – I’m trying to think of ways to make it work for non-holiday projects too. The sentiment was done using the Wishing die from Simon Says Stamp with the co-ordinating stamp set. I am in love with the font – so pretty.

Avery Elle … Beary Sweet Wishes

Hey there. Here with a bright and cheerful card using the Beary Sweet Wishes stamp set from Avery Elle (which I just happened to have designed – grin)! I think I should send this to myself this week as I very much need a hug. One of my beautiful cats was tragically killed on Saturday in a hit and run. I’m so sad. She was such a special cat, so affectionate and loving. She has left a huge hole in our lives 🙁 – We’ll miss you so much Talullah xxx

Beary Sweet Wishes

(Wipes tears) – I stamped and embossed the bears in white and then used Clean Colour Markers to colour them in. Love the juicy colours – they look good enough to eat!!

Thanks for stopping by xxx

MFT Sketch Challenge #264

When I was at CHA I was lucky enough to hang out with some of the gorgeous and fabulously fun MFT girls. I got to meet Laina Lamb, the designer of some of my all time favourite MFT stamp sets and she was kind enough to give me the brand new Undeniable Chemistry stamps and dies to have a play with. I don’t often get time to join in with many challenges these days but I thought this week’s sketch was pretty fab so I used it to start me off. I turned it on it’s side but it’s still there!!

Undeniable Chemistry

I created a background using various images from the set and stamped them in Avery Elle Fog pigment ink. I added a few touches of colour using Zig Clean Colour markers and added a wee bit of bling here and there with some adhesive sequins. I used the belt die from the Santa Suit Die-namics and cut a panel of purple cardstock and one of vellum and finished by stamping and embossing the sentiment in white.

Whilst I was in the scientific mood I thought I’d carry on and created this little 4-bar card using some of the cute dies. I blended on some Distress ink and splashed a wee bit of water to give the bubble effect.
