Anything Goes 

We are showcasing Avery Elle Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

I used a super cute 'I'm Late' Clear Stamp Set and Coordinating Die


I am not always that great at getting my cards in the post in time so I am sure I am going to get LOTS of use out of this little cutie, isn't he/she adorable! :-) I couldn't resist popping him in a field of Wildflowers, aww :-)


I made a mask using the  Wildflowers die and scratch paper and simply inked a little Mowed Lawn Distress Ink to create a little bit of interest on the inside.

'R' for Rip It Up 

I simply tore a little strip to create a snow drift, not very exciting, my teamies have been much more adventurous than me, but it is there and you can see it if you get your magnifying glass out ;-)



I used a new Snowman Family Clear Stamp from the Wild Rose Studio, aren't they adorable! I also used the same  Snow Frame, smothered with Nuvo Glitter Ice White, I have to say this is THE best icy glitter EVER! I also used a Birds and Berries Paper Pack

Simon Says: It's A Stitch Up












Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Try To Contain Yourself Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

It's A Stitch Up

We would like to see a 'sewing' themed project this week. You can use either sewing themed stamps, dies etc or you could add real or faux stitching! Whatever you decide to use, we will be looking forward to seeing what you make!


I made a card using a Baby Blueprint Stamp Set and stitched the edges on my sewing machine ;-)



I started by blending Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress inks over Watercolor Paper and then used a Tim Holtz Rings Stamp inked with Aquamarine Archival Ink of the top. After stamping the Baby Rattle with Jet Black Archival I added texture using a Faded Dots Stencil and White Embossing paste. 



I coloured the rattle with Distress Inks, fussy cut it out and shaped using an embossing tool

I decorated the inside to make it a bit extra special ;-)




So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
