Hello.  I hope that you all had a fabulous weekend!  Today I have two amazing projects from our new release to share with you.  Caryn Davies used our new Elle's Alphas, Bunting stamps, Bunting dies and our Cheers die to create this sweet New Year's wine tag.  I love this so much! These sets go so well together!

Yainea created this next card using our Bee Mine stamp set, Bee Mine dies and Finished Frames dies.  I love the modern look of the water coloring behind the bees and hive.  The dotted bee trails are a subtle touch that add interest as well.  What a pretty card!

Last but not least, the winner of our blog hop from last week is Pam.  Congratulations!  Please contact us at customerservice at averyelle dot com so that we can get your prize to you.

Inspiration from JJ & Heather

Hello!  Today I have two fabulous projects to share with you.  JJ Bolton used our Seasonal Sentiments stamp set and Cheers Wine Tag Die to create these cute gift card holders!  Who knew that by scoring and folding the bottom of the wine tag up that it could be used in this way?!  JJ's creativity is just brilliant!!  These are so simple, pretty and easy to create!

Heather Campbell created this next card using our Boo stamp and die set and patterned paper from our The Everyday Collection Paper pad.  I love the mix of black, grey and white patterns.  It is so cute!

Fill In The Blank, Let It Snow & Winter Wreath

Today we have Chunyuan with this adorable gift set using our Holiday Fill In The Blank stamp set, Holiday Fill In The Blank dies, Words Fill In The Blank dies and Cheers die.   She shows how well these sets work together and can be changed to create endless looks.  How cute are her felt wine tag charms?  Be sure to check out Chunyuan's blog for more details.

Kasia created this pretty card using our Let It Snow clear stamp set.  I love the way the gray tree background plays against the silhouette of the deer.  Perfect, clean and simple!

JJ created this next card using our Let It Snow and Winter Wreath stamp sets.  I love the way that these sets work together.  The white, kraft, green and red color is so cozy.

Inspiration with Nina & Donna

Today we have Donna with two cute projects.  I love how she created a wine bottle tag using our Cheers die set and accented it with flowers that she created using our Icon Fill In The Blank die set. 

In this next card Donna used our Icon Fill In The Blank dies again to create a whole card front of pretty flowers.  I love that she used white on white with the little touch of gold.  It is so pretty.

Nina's two toned project is really fun, bold and graphic.  I love how the red and white pop off of each other and the images from our Simply Tags: Christmas and Texture Tiles Be Cute stamp sets.  Be sure to stop by Nina's blog for more details.

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

Inspiration from Nina and Donna

Today we have Donna with this sweet card she made using our Let It Snow stamp set.  The sentiment from Written In The Stars makes this a perfect card to give to a loved one.  I love the red, white and blue color combination.  So cute!

Nina created this cheerful card using our Cheers die.  Nina shows how you can cut off the top of the wine tag die to create a pretty panel.   She mounted the letters from the celebrate die to top of the star from our Ornaments Simply Tags Christmas dies.  I just love her combination of patterns.  They work so well together.

Nina created this pretty three layered banner using our Build A Banner and Laurels stamp sets and dies.  One of the things that I love about our Build A Banner set is that you can customize the size of your banners.  Be sure to check out Nina's blog for more details.

It's Inspiration Week!

This week is a fun week for us.  We will be having our design team blog hop this Thursday to highlight sets from our latest release.  We will also have a fun giveaway so be sure to stop by for lots of inspiration and fun. 

I thought that I would highlight some of my favorite projects that I have seen this past month using our Build A Banner, Laurels & Cheers stamp and die sets.

Did you know that Heather created a video for Ellen Hutson using our Laurels & Build A Banner stamp sets?  You can check out the video here.

Donna Mikasa created these sweet tags for the Simon Says Stamp blog last month using our new Laurels stamp set and dies.  I just adore these.

I love that Kasia Curry used our Cheers stamp set and dies to make a card.  I love the clean and simple look.

Eat Drink & Be Merry and You're Awesome!

Today we have Chunyuan with this festive card that she made using our Cheers clear stamps and die.  I love how she cut the top of the Cheers tag off to create this decorative white panel.  Tricks like this show how to get even more use out of our dies.  The red, white and kraft color combination is so fun and our Berry Blend Sequins are the perfect finishing touch.

Kasia created this *awesome* card using our  Simply Tags : Christmas clear stamps and Ornament Simply Tags Christmas dies.  She shows how these sets can be used all year long.  You know that I love this color combination! :)

Cheers and Hello!

Today we have Chunyuan with this pretty card using our new Laurels clear stamps. She mixed in some Oh Happy Day flowers and leaves as well.  I love this asymmetrical design. It is so bright and cheerful.

Chunyuan's next card shows how you can use the Words Fill In The Blank and Holiday Fill In The Blank dies to spell different words to get even more use out of them.  Using Noel is perfect for the upcoming holiday season!

Kasia created this clean and simple Cheers card and I just adore it.  She used the Cheers sentiment that comes in the die to create the banner image at the top and the to you, to us, to life stamp below.   It is such a fun combination.  I love the sentiments together.

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

Cheers, Winter Wreath & More

 I am going to be at Paper Tales in San Diego, CA on Saturday, October 12th from 1-3pm.  We will be creating a Make 'n Take using our new Cheers and Laurels stamp sets and dies (see the end of this post for the actual projects that we will be making).  We will also be offering up some fun prizes.  I would love to meet, stamp and chat with you if you live in the area!  You can find Paper Tales details here.  I hope to see you there!

Did you like the bottle tags that you saw from Heather yesterday?  She has even more to show us today.  I LOVE the way this Cheers tag looks when paired with our Winter Wreath clear stamps.  Just gorgeous!

Heather also shows in this next tag how well the images from Laurels work with Winter Wreath.  I love how the banner from our Build A Banner stamp set fits perfectly on the front of the wreath.  She finished it off with sentiments from our Warm Wishes stamp set.  I adore it!

I used our Cheers and Laurels stamps and dies to create the following two tags.  I wanted to show the wide range of uses and looks that these sets provide.  If you live in the San Diego area, stop by Paper Tales on Sat Oct 12th from 1-3pm to make a set of these with me and take them home for yourself.

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

Cheers & Thankful

Today we have Heather with these festive wine tags she made using our Cheers stamp set and coordinating die.  I love the added touch of the leaves and bow from our Laurels clear stamps.  They go so well with the Eat Drink and be Merry sentiment.

In this next tag, Heather used the Cheers die to cut out the tag and the word celebrate.  I LOVE that you can use this tag alone or with one of the three word dies.  The possibilities are endless.   I also love the way that Heather backed the word celebrate with different colors.  So fun!  I can imagine these tags on water bottles, wine bottles, sparkling cider.  Perfect for Birthdays, New Years, a promotion, etc.

   

JJ created this next card using our Thankful, Winter Wreath and Build A Banner clear stamps.  I love the way all these sets work together.  A perfect fall greeting.
