Hi there.  It’s Anything Goes week this week so I’ve gone with yet another Christmas card (not making much else at the moment!!).  I love the little ice skates from the Flakes N Skates die collection from Spellbinders.  I love how the dies don’t just cut but emboss too.  I kept the die cut in place after I cut it and used a sponge dauber to add the Fog ink too so it’s a stencil on top of everything – how cool!!  I recently picked up this new Penny Black die – Winter Garland and think I’m going to get quite a bit of use out of it – I love it!  For my sentiment I dug out the Avery Elle Season’d Greetings die – it’s such a great size!

Avery Elle – Hanging Banners/Happy Home

Hey there.  I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a festive little card using the gorgeous Happy Home dies and Hanging Banners stamps and dies.  I started with a 5″ square card and created my little holiday home using wood effect card layered up with all the little Christmassy elements.  I used the string of lights from Retro Ornaments to add some extra festiveness!!  A few little blobs of Glossy Accents in the right places adds some more sparkle and shine.

I’ve kept is nice and simple with my card this week.  I simply stamped and embossed the sentiment panel from Most Wonderful onto a panel of Bristol watercolour cardstock and then used my Kuretake paints to add a wash of aqua over it.  I die cut the panel using Avery Elle’s Pierced Rectangles and then used the Gift Card dies from MFT to mount a card inside.  A very quick and simple gift whipped up in no time!
