Avery Elle – Brushed

Hey all and Happy Easter Monday!  I hope you’re enjoying a glorious bank holiday wherever you are.  All being well I should be relaxing with the family and enjoying something nice and chilled on a beach in Wales!  I’m scheduling this post so hope I’m not tempting fate!!

Today I’m over on the Avery Elle design blog sharing a few cards I’ve made with the fabulous new Brushed set.  Watercolour effects are everywhere at the moment and so this super-trendy set is perfect for getting the painted look without the mess!!

The cards also showcase just how gorgeous the new Avery Elle pigment inks are – the colours are just beautiful.

Hoppy Easter!!

So I FINALLY got a chance to play with the Mama Elephant Honey Bunny stamp set – and I’m in love!  They are so cute aren’t they?  I created some tags to go with the Easter gifts I made this year for all the children in the family – all 14 of them!!!  I bought some cone treat bags and filled them with orange Millions and some other sweeties and then tied them with scraps of green ribbon.  I also made a card with the bunnies and some dies from Taylored Expressions – the picket fence die, the grass border the cloud dies and flower box dies.  Don’t they all go together perfectly?

I don’t usually show so many photos of a project but got a bit carried away with this one!!  Also, there is a challenge going on over at the Mama Elephant blog at the moment with a cool graphic for inspiration:  I thought the pale blue, green and yellow shades reminded me of the colours in the picture.

Avery Elle – Custom Panels, Storybook and Woodgrain and More (Oh My!)

Hi there!  Today I’m over on the Avery Elle blog sharing a card I made using the AMAZING new die collection designed by JJ Bolton, Custom Panels.

Don’t you love it??  So many different elements and so cleverly designed!  I used the label and the angled corner dies on my card – I think that’s my favourite die actually!!

Mae A Wish (custom panels) The background is stamped using another of the new release sets – Woodgrain and More and I’m sure you’re starting to recognise that sweet little mouse (those critters are going to be ALL over blogland over the next few weeks) from Heather Campbell’s beautiful set, Storybook (LOVE).

Thanks for stopping by today.
