#TBT Avery Elle: Write It

02.04.2015 by Leave a Comment

On the first Thursday of the month (hey, that’s today!) the Avery Elle DT are featuring one of the older classics from the Avery Elle inventory.  This month we have been playing with Write It – an amazing sentiment set with one of the coolest fonts ever! I used a rainbow of different Distress ink colours and masked off the top and bottom of my card.  I used a “direct to paper” technique and then added a strip of gold glitter paper to the top and bottom to finish it off.  The sentiment is stamped in Versafine Onyx Black.

Clearly Besotted – Simply Scrumptious.

Teaser Time

 

Today is the first day of teasers over at Clearly Besotted and this month (as always) there are 7 gorgeous new stamp sets all with co-ordinating dies.  For my card today I’m featuring the stunning Simply Scrumptious set.  You can create beautiful wreaths and arrange them with flowers or strawberries and accent with tendrils and swirls!  I love this set – it just screams summer!  The dies make creating the most beautiful wreaths really easy – I’m in love!

The design team have been busy making samples and this month we’re lucky to have Rebecca from Melly Moo and Nicole Picadura from Scraps and Stamps joining us too – woo hoo!

I’ll be back tomorrow with another little peek at the new release.

I’m so thrilled to be able to celebrate the 6th birthday of Simon Says Stamp with them!  I don’t think there is a better company out there in terms of supply, (they always have the latest products available),  customer service (this is just second to none in my experience), value (I frequently order from the UK and the prices and shipping costs are great) and just general “niceness” (I can’t express how fabulous they are to work with – every one of the team is a total pleasure!).  There are are just so many good things I can say about them.

I created a birthday card in they’re honour using some of their newest products and what is becoming one of my favourite dies!  I stamped the three different outline flowers from Artful Flowers onto Tim Holtz water colour card using Versamark and then heat embossed them in white.  I then chose three colours from the Kuratke Gamsai water colour palette and simply coloured three flowers in each colour.  I don’t yet own the dies to co-ordinate with this set so I cut each one out and then just arranged them (I TRIED to be as random as possible) on the card and stuck them in place using glue dots.  I die cut the Wishing sentiment using Fog SSS card and stamped the sentiment in black under neath.

Happy Birthday SSS
