Hello peeps!  It's Caryn with a festive Christmas card created with some fun products from the latest release.  The Merry die I've used on this card is one of my favourites of the whole release - I adore it!

I started by stamping a single layer branch from the Layered Pine stamp set on the background of the card.  I wanted the branches to radiate out from behind the green oval die cut (the positive piece left over from using the Quilted Frame Elle-ments on a card I shared a wee while ago!).  I added some tiny stars, another left over from cutting the Star Scene die for a previous card!

I cut some snow hills using the Slimline Borders elle-ments and adhered them in layers over the oval die cut.

I stamped the truck and trees from the Layered Holiday Truck set and arranged them in front of the oval and die cut the Merry in a blue cardstock to match the truck.

As a final flourish I stamped and coloured the bow from the Prosecco-Ho-Ho stamp set and added it below the sentiment.  By the way, the "Tis The Season To Be" is a selectively stamped sentiment from the Prosecco stamp set!  I just covered the "Merry" on the end with washi tape before inking up the stamp, then removed it to stamp.

Prosecco-Ho-Ho Week - Day 1

Hey there!  Caryn here today sharing this card created with the amazing Prosecco-Ho-Ho stamp set!  Anyone who's ever met me probably knows I have a penchant for the odd glass of fizz!  So this set is one I'll be reaching for to create a bunch of my holiday cards this year!!

I used the Star Scene Elle-ments to cut a starry backdrop and then stamped, coloured and die cut the images from the set.  I also layered in some foliage to make it even more festive using the Layered Pine stamp set.

Cheers everyone!

Layered Pine Week - Day 5

Hi Everyone! I'm excited to share a Layered Pine and Layered Stars today! 

I started by stamping and embossing the pine branches on coordinating colored card stock. I especially love the white embossed pine branches! Then I stamped the pink start that hangs from the blue branches. Next, I die cut Merry from two shades of card stock and layered them. Finally, I adhered all of the elements to a few layers of card stock and stamped the remaining sentiment from Layered Stars. 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Layered Pine Week - Day 2

Hello friends, 

Katie here with a dreamy holiday card to share with you today featuring two of the new layered stamp sets: Layered Pine and Layered Stars.  I have really enjoyed using these new layered designs. It's absolutely thrilling to watch an image come to life before your eyes with such simple supplies like stamps and ink!

First I stamped the layered pine branch and shiny foil stars using complimentary shades of dye ink. Next I began work on the background by die cutting a panel of Distress Heavystock paper with the stitched rectangle die from the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments set. 

I blended the Heavystock with Distress Oxide ink in Salvaged Patina and spattered the panel with water to lift the ink in spots. I arranged the stamped elements on the panel and then stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink before heat embossing it with silver embossing powder. 

With the sentiment in place, I adhered the other elements to the panel, affixed the completed panel to an A-2 card base and added a few flat sequins as a finishing touch.

Layered Pine Week - Day 1

Hey there, it's Caryn here today sharing a card using some new products from the fall 2021 release as well as a couple of older ones! 

I've been having so much fun designing and using the layered stamp sets we have at Avery Elle.  Today I'm showcasing 2 of them - the Layered Holiday Truck and the Layered Pine stamp sets.  

A few tips I often use when creating with these sets is to use the MISTI and load all the layers of the image onto one platform.  This helps to stamp several images at a time.  For example, the Layered Pine set consists of two images so I put them into my stamping platform and make sure to use the exact same size piece of card each time.  You can use a square or rectangular die to be extra precise! In this case I cut squares of 9mm length.

To help line up the second layer of the stamp I sometimes use the printed carrier sheet that the stamps live on.  This can really help if the images are a bit more difficult to see through.

I used the same techniques when stamping the truck and the trees  It can take a bit of trial and error but once you have everything lined up you should get great results.

Once I stamped all images I die cut the Snow Scene Elle-ments in white and blended some aqua blue ink over the top half of it.  I used the wavy banner from the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments and stamped the sentiments from the Layered Holiday Truck set onto them.  

Here's a wee tip when you want a curved sentiment but the stamp is straight.  Die cut the piece you want to stamp onto.  The flip it over so the front side is facing down and put a clear stamping block on top of it.  Curve your sentiment to the shape you want it to stamp onto then turn the die cut back over and ink up your stamp and it will be lined up to the shape of the die cut! 

I made the wee Happy Holidays flag from the same wavy banner die but snipped it in half and added a slither of card for the the stick!
