Laugh Out Loud

Teaser Time

It’s day 2 of the Clearly Besotted teasers for February 2015 and today I’m sharing a card featuring a FABULOUS set called Laugh Out Loud.  Sometimes you want something on your card a bit different to the usual “Happy Birthday” sentiment.  Well this set has what you need – some funny quotes to give your recipient a wee giggle!  I particularly like “Smile, while you still have teeth”  – LOL!!

I created a bunch of balloons using some simple masking and then coloured them with Copics and finally a coating of clear Wink of Stells (which for once you can actually see in the photo!!).

Make sure you pop over to Steph’s blog and the rest of the design team for more inspiration.

Mmmmmm… donuts!

Teaser Time

Hello again – I’m back with another peek at what’s coming up in the January 2015 release from Clearly Besotted.  Today I’m sharing a couple of cards I made using the With Sprinkles stamp and die collections.  This is a fun set featuring lots of cookie and donut images and as the name suggest – sprinkles!  The font Steph used for the sentiments is gorgeous and goes perfectly with the design.

I created a bunch of donuts and cookies and stamped them before slapping on a good dollop of glossy accents to give them that lovely glazed look – mmmmmm!

Well I’ll be back again tomorrow with yet more samples but please remember to pop along to the rest of the design team (and our fabulous guest teamie, Anita) for lots more inspiration!

SSS Stephanie’s Birthday Blog Hop !!

Celebrate release Hop

Hello there – today is a very special day – we are celebrating the birthday of the absolutely gorgeous Stephanie Lekauf – Marketing Director of Simon Says Stamp with a fabulous blog hop! I had the absolute honour of meeting Stephanie and Heidi in London a couple of weeks ago and can honestly say that they are both the sweetest girls you could meet.  Whilst Stephanie was away powdering her nose, Heidi slipped the rest of us (yes – a lot of the Wednesday team were there too – along with two of my besties Stephanie Wincott and Debby Hughes) a fabulous CELEBRATION stamp and die set designed in honour of the birthday girl.

It doesn’t come across so well in the picture but I coated the card in a mist of shimmer before adding the balloons and crystals.  Although it looks kind of masculine – it’s very pretty and shimmery in real life – honest!!

So are you ready to carry on hopping?  You should have arrived here from the Simon Says Stamp Blog and your next stop is the lovely Jo Neville (pictured below) but if you get lost anywhere along the way just pop back to the Simon Says Stamp Blog and start from the beginning.

There will be one of Simon’s Fabulous Grab Bags to give away on every blog ! All you have to do is  leave a comment on each of the blog posts (including this one) as you hop along to be entered in the random draws.  You have until Sunday 9th November 12 midday EST to join in!
