Avery Elle – Naughty or Nice

Hi there!  Today I’m over on the Avery Elle blog sharing a fun little Christmas project I created using the Naughty or Nice stamp set and the Classic Bag Elle-Ments die.  I love this gift bag die – it’s so easy to assemble and is great for any occasion.  I heat embossed the design using white embossing powder onto the front of the bag and die cut two tags from the Scalloped Banner Elle-ments.  The “Love, Santa” was stamped in red and added to the bag finished off with a red polka dot bow!!

Avery Elle – Penguin Greetings

Hey there peeps!  I’ve been playing with a great stamp set from Avery Elle called Penguin Greetings!  It features a cute little penguin family all decked out in their winter gear – I love it!  I started with a piece of watercolour card and sponged some cracked pistachio distress ink onto the centre area.  I also splattered some of the same colour onto the panel and then ran it through my Bigshot with the Wonky Stitches Elle-ments (can’t get enough of this die – may favourite right now)!  I kept the colouring of the penguins quite simple using Distress inks and then die cut the sentiment using another new set from Avery Elle called Holly Jolly Elle-Ments.

I recently picked up this fabulous die set, the WPlus9 Pear Stackers from Simon Says Stamp and thought it would be perfect for an engagement card for my twin sister Susan who announced last week that she and her lovely boyfriend Pete are getting hitched next year! Woohoo!!!  I’m SO excited for them – and for the rest of us – who doesn’t love a good wedding?!!

I know it’s not your typical engagement card but I’m pretty sure she’ll appreciate it – they do make a perfect pair!  I started by sponging some Gold Delicata ink onto a panel of white card and then spritzed it with some Heidi Swapp Gold Lame spray.  I inked the edge of the panel with the gold ink too and stamped and embossed the sentiment in Ranger Gold ep.  I die cut the two larger pears and sponged on some Spun Sugar and Mowed Lawn Distress ink.  For the mottled effect I spritzed on some water and a few spots of the gold spray.  To finish off I added a bundle of gold thread underneath the pears and added some sequins for added bling!
