Hello!  I have a fantastic card by Maska to share with you today.  She used our Seal-abrate and Brushed stamp sets along with our Swim Team dies, Avery Elle Signature Dies, Count On It dies and patterned paper from our Everyday Collection to create this cute birthday greeting.  I just love the way the cute seal is balancing a number on his nose and that ombré background is so great!

Our friends at Paper Crafter's Library are spotlighting this fun project and have a give-away for you today.  Here is a little sneak peek of what you will find over on the Paper Crafter's Library blog.   Be sure to check out all the details here.

Thanks Maska for sharing today.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Humble Pie & Tea Time

Hello and Happy Friday!  I have some sweet projects to share with you today.

Katie Gehring used our Humble Pie Stamp set, Finished Frames die set and an A2 top folding note card from our Natural Collection to create this first card .  These pies look so great colored with Copic Markers.  I think this is such a clever way to tell someone that you are sorry.  I love it!

Karolyn Loncon created this gift set using our Tea Time stamps and dies, Bookmark Elle-Ments dies,  Avery Elle Signature Elle-Ments dies and our Gift Tags Stamps and Elle-Ments dies.  I love how the tea cup just pops off of this card.  It is so pretty against the white background!

 

Thank you so much Karolyn and Katie for the amazing projects today.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great weekend!

An Invitation by Maska

Today I have four cards to share with you.  Heather Campbell created these first two cards using our Fabulous Florals stamps and dies and Dotted Border Dies.  I love the two different looks she was able to create with the same sets.  They are just gorgeous!

 JJ Bolton created this next card using our Avery Elle Signature and Thank You Dies.  I love how the sentiment is coming out of the pinked circle.  It is so fun!

JJ used our Dotted Border dies on this next card to create a scalloped rectangle mat for the cute Red & Goldie character.  I love how happy and cheerful this card is!

JJ created this next card using our Dotted Border and Count On It dies and a sentiment from our So Happy stamp set.  I love the look!  For more details be sure to check out JJ's blog!

Made With Love & Simply Said You

Hello and Happy Thursday!  I hope that everyone is having a fabulous week so far.  Today I have two fantastic cards to share with you.  Heather Campbell used our Made With Love stamp set, Silver Fox card stock, Silver Fox ink pad and Sea Glass card stock to create this first card.  I love the background that Heather created with the knitting ball and that sentiment is just too funny and cute!

Good Vibes & Happy Birthday

Hello!  Today I have two cool cards to share with you.  Yainea used our #Smile stamp set to stamp this fun hash tag word background.  I love how she accented the camera image with a negative die cut using our Avery Elle Signature Dies.  It is so clever.  The happy birthday sentiment from our Surf's Up stamp set fit perfectly on the "picture" coming out of the camera.  I also spy a bit of our new patterned paper from our The Sorbet Collection paper pad.  LOVE!

Caryn Davies combined the sentiment from our Sending You stamp set along with the bus image from our Surf's Up stamp set.  She shows how using sets that you own in creative ways opens up so many possibilities!  I love it!

Hugs with Kasia

Hello!  I hope everyone had a great week so far!  I don't know about you, but I am ready for the weekend!! Today I have a fun card by Kasia Curry to share with you.  She used our Avery Elle Signature Dies and Sending You stamp set to create this fabulous card.  The purple and gold colors play off one another so well.  I just love everything about this card!

Inspiration from Chunyuan

Hi everyone!  Today I have the pleasure of sharing some great cards with you.

Chunyuan created these two cards using our Avery Elle Signature Dies.  I love how she offset and layered the colors and circles in this first card.  The Oh Yeah sentiment from our Oh Yeah stamp set is a perfect fit in the smallest circle!!

Chunyuan used the dies again here to highlight the cute animals from our Storybook stamp set.  The heart paper from our The Sorbet Collection paper pad is such a great compliment to the cute characters!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Happy Birthday & Hello!

Hello!  I hope that you are having a great week so far.   Today I have two cute projects by Heather Campbell and a fun card by JJ Bolton to share with you.

Heather created this first card using our Balloons stamps & dies on a Dotted Dies mat.  I love the way Heather used little asterisk die cuts as confetti around the balloons. This is a classic birthday card for young or old, boy or girl!  I love it!

Heather used our Red & Goldie stamps and dies along with part of a Dotted Die cut to create this next card.  I love how she used the heart and striped patterned paper from our The Sorbet Collection paper pad.   Isn't it so cute!?!  The patterns in our paper pads were designed to be pretty basics that won't go out of style!

JJ created this next card using our Avery Elle Signature and Simply Said Hello Dies.  I absolutely love the way that she die cut the colored vellum and stacked them on top of each other to get this fresh and modern effect!  It is just gorgeous!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Surf's Up & #smile

I have two fantastic projects for you today.  The first is from our July Guest Designer, Elena Roussakis . How cute is this card that she made using our Surf's Up clear stamp set?  The colors and shading are just fantastic!!

Maska created this layout using our #smile, So Happy, Dotted and Avery Elle Signature dies.   I love how Maska made the photograph come out of the stamped camera image.  This is such a fun and modern page.

Hello & Happy Anniversary!

Today I have some fantastic projects to share with you.  Yainea created this first card using our Dotted and Simply Said Hello Dies.  I love the stitching here.  It adds so much detail and is a great way to highlight the sentiment!

Caryn Davies created this next set of cards using our So Happy and Many Thanks stamp sets.  She embossed the pinked circle using our Avery Elle Signature die.  Embossing with dies is a great way to get more use out of your dies!  This card set is just so clever!

Let's get on to the hop..

I created this card using our Simply Said Happy Stamp & Die set.  We have quite a few graduations coming up and this was a really quick and fun card to put together.  I just love the way the burst from our new Avery Elle Signature Dies looks behind the Balloon die cut.  The banners from our Dotted Die set are a fun accent too!

I used our Dotted, Avery Elle Signature and Balloons Die sets to create this next card.  I really love this combination.  I stamped a sentiment from our new So Happy stamp set on the inside and kept the whole thing very simple.

That is all from me!  Stop by to see Chunyuan next!!
