I’m a cover girl!!

I’m so excited to see the next issue of Simply Cards and Papercrafts magazine- mainly because my lovely friend Aimes (Amy Wanford) is the new Creative Editor (wow) but also because I was asked to submit a few cards using some AMAZING digi stamps offered free with the issue and which are featured in it! Here’s a little sneak peak of the magazine which will be available to purchase in the UK on Thursday 14th August. (THAT’S my wee cat card in the top left hand corner – squeal!!).

I want to thank Aimes for allowing me the honour of designing for such an amazing publication and hope you get a chance to pick one up if you see it in your local newsagents.

Kiss, kiss <3

Been playing in my crafty space with the gorgeous Mama Elephant PANDAMONIUM stamp set and, what I now know to be a retired stencil from Memory Box! I ran my card panel through my Big Shot to emboss the design before blending a combination of distress ink in Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar onto the raised pattern.

The wee pandas were then stamped and die cut (I love them SO much) and placed with a simple heart between them (coated in glossy accents). The sentiment has been stamped onto a word bubble die cut (from Talk Bubbles by Simon Says Stamp).

This is the first card I’ve shared in AGES that hasn’t been a DT project – feels very weird!!

Thanks for dropping by!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Make It Sparkle

Hi there – today is Wednesday so here we go with a new challenge over at the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge blog. The theme of this week’s challenge is MAKE IT SPARKLE and we’re showcasing products from Jane’s Doodles and Technique Tuesday. Sadly I don’t yet possess any of those products so I have used some other fantastic products available from Simon Says Stamp by Mama Elephant.

As you can probably guess from the title of my blog – i LOVE anything glittery and sparkly so I’m particularly excited to see what you all come up with this week!!!

For my card I used the gorgeous Up and Away set from Mama Elephant and added lots of sparkle by colouring the balloons in first with Copics and then with a quickie glue pen and finally a dusting of Prisma Glitter! I also added a wee touch to the scalloped edge.

And as always, the AMAZINGLY generous peeps at Simon Says Stamp always love to reward your efforts with an awesome $50 gift voucher for one one lucky, randomly drawn participant! Yay!!
