I’m really starting to think about Christmas now – as soon as the schools go back my mind just naturally starts getting festive!  With this in mind I was immediately drawn to the Deck The Halls stamp set from Taylored Expressions.  I love this set – it has some really fun Christmas critters!  I stamped the penguin then masked him off and sponged some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink behind him.  He was coloured with Copics and and had a few blobs of Glossy Accents added to finish off.  This is a VERY CAS card for me – not sure if it’s missing something actually!  Maybe I need to add some sequins?!

Avery Elle: Polar Pals and Snow Much Fun

Good Monday to you!  I’m on the Avery Elle blog today with some projects using two cute stamp sets and dies from the latest Fall release .  Heather designed all of these amazing products (she’s a clever cookie that girl 🙂

I used the Snow Caps die collection on both cards and a combination of images from Polar Pals and Snow Much Fun.  These sets all go together so beautifully and give so many different options.  I die cut all my elements and added colour to the mountains, sea and sky using distress inks.  The rest of the colouring was done with Copics.  As a finishing touch I added some Stickles to the snow hills – you know Christmas is coming when the Stickles comes out to play!!

Some more Clearly Besotted Christmas!

Hi there.   Just popping with a couple of cards I made that I didn’t get a chance to share before Christmas.  I used some of the new products from Clearly Besotted released in December.  The fonts in the new Brushed Greetings stamp set are gorgeous – and a great size for a card front.  I also used the new On The Line dies these are so useful.  I have other dies like this that are on a curved or sloped edge so it’s great to have straight ones too!December 2014 2

I hope everyone is keeping well after the Christmas chaos – my house still hasn’t recovered but what the heck, it’s still Christmas until the tree comes down!

By the way – don’t forget that the new January release from Clearly Besotted is just around the corner – sneak peeks start on Stephanie’s blog on the 1st and the rest of the DT will have cards and projects to share from the 2nd onwards!  Make sure you pop in to check them out!!
