Avery Elle: Sending You

Hi – here with a quick post to share a card made using the gorgeous sentiment set Sending You along with probably one of my favourite Avery Elle sets EVER,  Surf’ Up.  I thought the “Good Vibes” sentiment was perfect to go with the campervan and that whole hippy/festival vibe!  Being a family of festival lovers I know I’d appreciate this card!!

I’m getting VERY excited about the new release that’s coming next month from Avery Elle!  There’s LOTS of exciting things afoot and I think you’re going to be totally blown away when you see some of the amazing new stamp designs and dies.

Thanks for stopping by,

As I was sitting at my craft desk I spotted a little die cut camera I had assembled some time ago using the MFT Cute Cameras 2 die-namics.  Remembering there was a fun challenge going on over at Moxie Fab World called Clicking Cameras I thought I’d put the wee guy to use and here’s what I came up with:

See that gorgeous patterned paper that looks like a bokeh effect (well, that’s what it reminds me of anyway) – keep a close eye over at Avery Elle over the next couple of weeks to see where it came from – can’t say any more right now other than “WOW” (shhhh)!

Thanks for dropping by x

I can’t wait to see how you interpret this challenge – there are so many options available to you – stamps, paper, embossing folders, stencils… the list is endless!  Lets make Summer last as long as possible!!

For my card this week I grabbed one of my favourite stamp sets Ice Cream Dreams designed by Kristina Werner for by Simon Says Stamp.  I have been dying to play with this set – the images are just gorgeous.  I stamped 3 popsicles and coloured them using Copics and finished them off with a nice thick coat of glossy accents!
