Avery Elle … Balloons and Banners

Happy New Year!! 

Hope you and yours have had the best holiday season ever so far.  I still feel very festive and am excited by what 2018 will bring.  I wish you all the very best for the coming year.

Today I’m sharing a card and a wee video of how to make a simple shaker card using the gorgeous Balloons and Banners stamps and co-ordinating Elle-ments.  I love the font in this set, I think it really lends itself to a fun style of birthday card and what could be more fun than balloons?

 

Supplies used:

Balloons and Banners Clear Stamps

Balloons and Banners Elle-ments

Wonky Stitches Elle-ments

Raspberry Hemp Twine

Fog Dye Ink

Avery Elle … Otterly Fantastic

Hello there, I’m here with a festive twist on the fabulously fun Otterly Fantastic stamp set.  As with every year, I find it hard to see past the upcoming holidays so I like to challenge myself to turn sets that aren’t aimed at the festive season into fun Christmas-themed creations.

By picking a few little elements from other previously released holiday sets you can turn any stamp set into a Christmas one!

Here I’ve picked out the Santa hat, bell and holly images from the Dear Santa stamp set and the sentiment and string of lights from the Retro Ornaments set.  And there it is – two very festive looking otters!!!
