Life is a Storybook

30.08.2014 by Caryn Davies 1 Comment

Hello – it’s Saturday – yay! I hope it’s a good weekend where ever you are?! I’m here to share a couple of cards I made using the September 2014 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp called Life is a Storybook. I received my kit a couple of weeks ago but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to play with it! I love the October Afternoon papers and stickers that came with the kit -they have a lovely, vintage charm to them. The stamp set is great too – great little scene building images and sentiments.

My first card primarily features the stamp set. I’ve used all Avery Elle pigment inks (spotted any of the new colours in there??!) – they’re gorgeous!The second card focuses on the fabulous papers and stickers from the kit. The only stamp I’ve used is the little picture frame. The images in the frame were picked out from one of the patterned papers!

I’m very busy preparing samples for the upcoming release from Avery Elle – there’s some AMAZING new stamps and dies coming soon and you’re going to LOVE them! Did I mention new inks? And a new paper pad?? Can’t wait!

Birthday Banner

28.08.2014 by Caryn Davies 2 Comments

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.

Do you love those bow dies too? Well then pop on over to the Taylored Expressions Blog and leave a comment on the post for a chance to win the set! You have until 11.59 (PST) on Sunday 30th Aug.

Thanks for popping by today.

The holidays are coming….

27.08.2014 by Caryn Davies 10 Comments

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.

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.

Please pop along to the blog and check out the rest of the design teams fabulous creations and hope you can join in the fun and play along. As always, one lucky randomly drawn entry will receive a $50 store credit – woo hoo!! With STAMPtember just a few days away you’re going to want to get that prize for sure!!!
