Birthday Banner

Hello, today I’m back on the Taylored Expressions Blog and have a card using the ever-so-useful Banner Stacklets dies along with the gorgeous Big Bold Birthday stamp set.  I also adore paper bows and love the TE Mini Mix and Match bows set.

This card is quite CAS but I wanted the sentiment to be the focal image and stand out so kept everything else quite minimal.

The holidays are coming….

Ok – it’s still August but for a papercrafter that means it’s time to start thinking about the upcoming festive holidays such as Halloween and Christmas.  I have to admit that this last three months of the year is my MOST favourite season – I love the Autumn, Halloween, 3 of my children (and myself) have birthdays and then IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!  It’s a wonderful time of year in our house.  So in the spirit of the festive season (soon) I have a dainty little Christmas card to share!!

Today also sees the start of a new challenge today over at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Blog and this week theme is everyone’s favourite… ANYTHING GOES!  The design team are featuring products from Memory Box but you don’t have to to enter.

Anything Goes Memory Box

Lately I’ve seen Debby Hughes making lots of cards in a smaller scale (4 bar size) which really appeals to me and is perfect for this little deer die.  I’ve used the Mini Stardust Stencil with some gorgeous silver-glitter sparkle medium with the Leaping Deer die both from Memory Box.  I covered the die cut deer in Versamark and then embossed him in silver fine embossing powder.  The sentiment is from Pretty Poinsettia from Clearly Besotted and is also embossed in silver.

Avery Elle: Balloons

Hi there – today I’m sharing a card I created using the fabulous Balloons stamp set and dies from Avery Elle.

I love the large scale of the balloons mixed with smaller ones giving you so many options to play with.  I used this set HERE to make a shaker card using the dies – they’re perfect for that technique.
