Sparkle and Shine!

Dec-2014-CardKit

I’m absolutely LOVING the December Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp.  The cool colours are so perfect for this time of year and the embossing powders included in the kit are amazing.

The stamp set is full of fabulous sentiments and images – I know I’m going to get endless use out of that Sparkle and Shine sentiment, the font is gorgeous.

I have another card created using the kit to share with you later in the week and will back tomorrow with my SSS Wednesday Challenge card.

Thanks for stopping by xxx

Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit Revealed!

Final-Oct-2014-CardKit

It’s the 14th so that means reveal day for the latest Simon Says Stamp Card Kit – woo-hoo!  I squealed when I opened the box with this one – the colours are so warm and cozy – perfect to go with the fabulous “coffee and tea” themed stamp set and embellishments.  The papers are just gorgeous and there’s even a super little cup die in there – love it!

September card kit

I made a card inspired by the colours from the papers and used the card in the kit with the die.  There’s some sweet little sequins in there too – I just love it ALL!

Now these kits are notorious for selling out so if you want it, then go get it before it’s gone!!

Have a great Sunday where ever you are.  I’m going off with some friends for a family bike trek/picnic over in Delamere Forest – such a pretty part of the world and only half an hour from us!

Life is a Storybook

Hello – it’s Saturday – yay!  I hope it’s a good weekend where ever you are?!  I’m here to share a couple of cards I made using the September 2014 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp  called Life is a Storybook. I received my kit a couple of weeks ago but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to play with it!  I love the October Afternoon papers and stickers that came with the kit -they have a lovely, vintage charm to them.  The stamp set is great too – great little scene building images and sentiments.

My first card primarily features the stamp set.  I’ve used all Avery Elle pigment inks (spotted any of the new colours in there??!)  – they’re gorgeous!Sep card kit 2The second card focuses on the fabulous papers and stickers from the kit.  The only stamp I’ve used is the little picture frame.  The images in the frame were picked out from one of the patterned papers!

I’m very busy preparing samples for the upcoming release from Avery Elle – there’s some AMAZING new stamps and dies coming soon and you’re going to LOVE them!  Did I mention new inks?  And a new paper pad??  Can’t wait!
