Avery Elle: #Smile!

11.08.2014 by 5 Comments

Hello there!  Today I’m sharing a card made with the amazing #SMILE stamp set from Avery Elle.  I LOVE this set – the camera is a great size for all kinds of techniques (I loved using it with the paper piecing technique HERE).  Today I’ve just gone with a wee bit of Copic colouring and some perfectly placed Glossy Accents and kept it simple.  The fabulous Avery Elle cardstock strips give it a bold lift of colour too.

Smile 1I love the trendy # sentiments and I think this set is great for the younger generation (so I gave it to my niece on her 13th birthday!!).

As it happens there is a fun challenge going on at the moment over at Moxie Fab World entitled “Clicking Cameras” and so I thought it’d be almost rude not to share this card over there!!!  They’re offering a gorgeous stamp set from Paper Smooches too – yay!

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.

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.

Embossing

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!
