Madly in Love {Avery Elle}

Hello friends,

Happy Friday!  I am on the Avery Elle blog today with a card I made featuring the new Tree Elle-ments die and the Favorite Person stamp set.   All of my Avery Elle supplies are linked below.


The Tree Elle-ments die is so stinking clever.  You can use it to build your own tree and pair it with other dies in the set to customize your tree.  On my card, I used the heart carving and added my hubby and my initials using the Elle's Alpha stamp set. I think this card will be perfect for our anniversary in February.  


Supplies: 

Well that's it for me today!  Be sure to stop by the Avery Elle blog for more inspiration from the Avery Elle Design Team!

Sending Smiles {Avery Elle}

Hello friends!

Happy Friday!  I am on the Avery Elle blog today sharing an idea using the new Rocky Shores Elle-ments die. All of my Avery Elle supplies used on this card are linked below.

 I paired the die with the Hello Chum stamp set and coordinating dies to create an under the sea look.  I love the versatility of the die- it can be used to create a scene under the sea or on dry land.  The craggy cuts and the grass dies were really thoughtful additions to the die set.  I had fun tucking sea grass and coral shapes into the crevices of the ocean floor.  It really makes the rocky shape pop!


The watery background was created by blending distress inks onto a panel of watercolor card stock. The shark and fishy friends were colored with Copic Markers.

Supplies: 

Well that's it for me today, but be sure to stop by the Avery Elle blog for even more fun inspiration from the Avery Elle team!

You are my Fairy Tale {Avery Elle}

Hello everyone!

I can't believe it's already Friday!  Is your December just flying by?  I am on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the new Swans stamp set.  Links to all my Avery Elle supplies are below.


When I saw this stamp set, it reminded me of an old fashioned Tunnel of Love ride that you might see at a vintage amusement park, so I tried to create that look using the Swim Team dies along with the Double Pierced Circle dies.


I colored the couple and heart swag with Copic markers and stamped the sentiment on a banner from the Pierced Banner Elle-ments set.

Supplies:

Well that's all for me, but please be sure to check out the Avery Elle blog for more information from the Avery Elle design team.

Wood you send Hedgehugs and Kisses? {Avery Elle}

Hello friends, 

I have some Avery Elle inspiration to share with you x2 today!  I have been having so much fun playing with Avery Elle's new winter release.  These darling critter stamp sets are among my favorites.  

First up, I have a card using the new Hedgehugs stamp set.  I combined it with an older Avery Elle stamp set called Sending You.  I love being able to mix in older sets with newer sets- so many additional possibilities! All of my Avery Elle supplies used on each card are linked below. 

I colored the hedghogs with Copic markers and added them to a panel of card stock with I watercolored using distress inks.


Supplies:
New Moon Dye Ink Pad

My second card used the Wood You stamp set.  I combined it with the new Tree Elle-ments die.  The Tree Elle-ments die is so innovative. Here, I have one of the beavers popping out of a log, but there are so many uses for this die.  I know I'll be reaching for it again and again. 



The beavers were colored in using Copic markers and the background was blended using Distress Ink.
