Avery Elle – We R Family

Hello and happy Monday!!  I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today sharing a card I made using the fantastic set designed by JJ Bolton called We R Family.  I was drawn to the sketchy circle designs in the set and remembered an old print I used to have from IKEA – can’t find an image of it now though!  Anyway – that’s what inspired my card today!

WeR FamilyI stamped and rotated the image in Versamark and then embossed them in white.  I watercoloured inside the circles for a rainbow of colour!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Boo!

Hey there – just popping in with a card I have up on the Avery Elle blog today.  I’ve been playing with the new Boo stamp set and co-ordinating dies – aren’t those spooks just adorable?  I created the card using the frame dies from the We Are Family die collection and used paper from the Everyday Paper Pad (LOVE that paper!!).

Thanks for popping by today xxx

Giveaway time!

Hi there – are you feeling that chill in the air?  Autumn has definitely arrived in my corner of the world and I LOVE it!  Before we know it, Christmas will be upon us and I am already getting excited!

So to get in that festive mood I’m sharing three cards today using some of the latest holiday products around.  I recently picked up these fabulous wood veneers from Make The Day Special.  They’re adhesive so perfect for die-cutting – no fiddly gluing needed!  Aren’t they amazing?!  I created the snowflake cards using dies from Clearly Besotted Stamps and two contrasting shades of veneer (don’t ask me the names of the woods – I’m terrible at that!).  The card with the snowman uses a gorgeous new stamp and die set from Avery Elle called Be Jolly (also available and in stock at MTDS).

AND to keep with the spirit of the season of giving, I have a little something to give away to one lucky visitor of my blog.  My lovely crafty chum Tara who runs THE best craft store in the UK has generously given me a pack of her AMAZING wood veneers to give away and all you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  I’ll pick a random winner next week (when the Clearly Besotted release celebrations are over – I’ll be a tad busy till then!!).
