Hello!  Check out these projects that JJ Bolton and Heather Campbell created for us today.  They really knocked it out of the park!!!

JJ used our Get Well stamps and pattern paper from our Happy Collection to create this first card.  I love how she partially die cut the bouquet using our Get Well and Custom Panels dies.  It looks so pretty!  I love it.

Heather created these bookmarks using our This Book stamp and dies along with our Bookmark die.  Aren't they just gorgeous?  I absolutely love them!

Heather used our This Book stamp set and dies again on this card.  The sentiment from our More Stories stamp set and images from This Book look fantastic on a Dotted card panel.  I love the way the book looks set on top of the flowers.  It is so sweet!

Thank Heather and JJ for sharing with us today.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Loads of Inspiration & A Blog Hop

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  I have a lot of inspiration to share with you today.  Maska created this first project using our You're Invited stamp set and coordinating You're Invited die.  Who wouldn't love to receive this festive invitation?!  I love it!

Heather used our More Stories, Elle's Alphas and Build A Banner stamps along with our Circle Tag, Build A Banner and Dotted Borders Dies to create this next card.  I love how the letters from our Elle's Alphas mini set fit perfectly in the banner.  I just adore everything about this!

 JJ used our Bee Mine stamp set and Word Fill In The Blank dies to create this next card.  I love the cheerful combination of these two sets.

I also wanted to let you know that our friend Emily Leiphart is having a fun blog hop today.  She is celebrating having 100 videos and 2500 YouTube subscribers with the help of some very talented people, including our very own Heather Campbell! 

Heather made this card for the hop and you can check out the video here.  You may want to visit Emily's blog to start at the beginning because there are some fun prizes up for grabs from Avery Elle and other fantastic companies!

Just a Note & Thinking of You

Hello!  I hope that everyone had a great weekend.  I have two cards to share with you today.  Caryn Davies created this first card using our Just A Note dies, Gift Tags dies and Bonjour clear stamps.  I love the bold color combination that Caryn used!  The little tag inside the pocket is just so cute and is a great way to tuck in a greeting!  So clever!

 Yainea used our Dotted Borders dies along with our The Everyday Paper Collection and More Stories clear stamps to created this beautiful card.  The reflection of the cute critter is just brilliant!  I love little details like this.  They add so much interest to a card.

Thank you Caryn and Yainea for the fantastic inspiration today! We so appreciate you taking time out of your day to stop by to take a peek. Have a great day!

I am popping in quickly today to share these two projects by JJ Bolton and Heather Campbell.

Heather created this gorgeous gift tag using our Fabulous Florals stamps and dies and our Circle Tag die.  I love how well these sets work together.  That gold embossed sentiment is the perfect touch!

JJ created this next card using our Finished Frames dies,  the bunny from More Stories and a sentiment from Red & Goldie.  I love the way JJ only colored the Finished Frames Die cut and let it pop against the white background.  It is a great way to create a beautiful focal point!

Today is an exciting day.  It is our turn to participate in the Spellbinders 2014 Holiday Partner Blog Hop.  This is day 3 of the hop so if you are just joining us you may want to start here.  Our friends at Spellbinders have provided two of our Design Team members with dies and as you will see, they work so well with our inks, stamps and patterned paper!  Let's get to the projects shall we?  Be sure to go all the way to the bottom of this post to enter to win a giveaway from Spellbinders and one from us right here on our blog!

Heather used our More Stories stamp set and Spellbinder's Distressed Edges dies again to create this pretty winter card.  Heather shows the versatility of the dies - they can be used to create pretty snowbanks too!

 For Heather's final card she used our Fabulous Florals stamps and a panel from Spellbinder's Tile Works dies. I love how the flowers frame the unique shape!  It is so pretty!

JJ Bolton was sent two different Spellbinder's dies to create projects with.  She used our Be Jolly Stamp Set, The Everyday Collection patterned paper and Spellbinder's Diamond Effects dies in her first card.  I LOVE the way this die allows fun pops of color to show through.  It is so cute!  Be sure to check out JJ's blog for more information on all of her projects.

JJ used our Avery Alpha's dies to cut the word NOEL out of Spellbinder's Exquisite Labels 11 dies.   Isn't this a creative way to get even more use out of your dies?  This is jolly indeed!

Joy To The World & More Stories

Hello and Happy Friday!  I have some fabulous inspiration from Katie and Karolyn to share with you today!

Katie Gehring created this first card using our Joy To The World stamp set.  I love the embossed gold globe!  It is just gorgeous.  The patterned paper strip from our The Everyday Collection paper pad is the perfect compliment!  This is simple yet beautiful!

Karolyn Loncon created this next card using our More Stories stamps and dies and Finished Frames dies.  I love the modern sky, grass and ground that she created with watercolors behind the bunny.  It is SO cute!  I just love everything about this!

Missing You & Be Jolly

Hello!  I hope that you all had a fantastic weekend!  Today I have two really cute cards to share with you.

Yainea created this first card using our More Stories clear stamps and dies.  Check out how she was able to create the look and feel of fall!  It is just so sweet.  The bit of yellow gingham patterned paper from our Everyday Collection behind the main card panel is the perfect little touch! I love everything about this card!

Caryn Davies is back this week with a card that she created using our Be Jolly stamps and dies and Finished Frames Dies.  I love the soft winter color palette and the falling snow.  The dimension and texture that Caryn created here is just gorgeous!

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

Inspiration by Maska

**I will be at be at Stamp Fever in Orange, CA this Saturday, November 1st from 10:30am - 1:30pm.  We will be making a cute holiday card using our Noel stamp set and I would love it if you stopped by to visit, craft & chat.**

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  I hope that your week is going well so far. Today I have this adorable card by Maska to share with you.  She used our More Stories, Oh Baby and Build A Banner stamps and dies to create it.  I love how the cute bunny is highlighted by our Sorbet paper inside the dark circle frame.  This is such a cute baby card and is sure to brighten a new mother's day!  

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

Drink Me & Thank You

Today Kasia Curry and Chunyuan Wu have two fun projects for us.  

Kasia created this tea gift set using our Gift Tags die and Alice and Friends stamps and dies.  I love how the tag looks tied to the top of the mason jar.  It is the perfect size and is so cute!

Chunyuan used our More Stories and Fabulous Florals stamp and die sets to create this next card.  Don't you love the way she combined different ink colors to create these fall leaves.? It is so pretty.

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

Look Up & Seasonal Sentiments Inspiration

Hello!  I have two great cards to share with you today.  JJ Bolton created this first card using our Look Up, More Stories and Bright Days stamp sets.  I love how she stamped the star burst and blended blue clouds around it.  JJ has been able to create so much depth on this single layer card.  I love it!

Heather Campbell created this next card using our Seasonal Sentiments stamp set.  She stamped the acorn image onto Speckled Cardstock with our new Kraft and Truffle ink and heat embossed over the Truffle acorn.  This is a great way to use an image repeatedly.  The trick is to stamp the darker image that you want to highlight onto the card first and then stamp the other lighter images in around it. This way you get the placement that you want.  I love the feel of this card.  Perfect for fall!!

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

A Card & Bookmark Today

Hello!  Today I have two great projects to share with you.  Chunyuan created this first card using our  Fabulous Florals and Noel stamp sets.  I love how she clustered the flowers on either side of the sentiment. The bright cheery colors make me so happy!

Kasia Curry created this cute little bookmark using our More Stories stamps & dies, Picture It Stamps, Oh Yeah dies & a sentiment from our Bottle It Up stamp set.  I love how sweet this is. My girls would love a bookmark like this!

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

Avery Elle & Add A Little Dazzle Day 3

It's Add A Little Dazzle and Avery Elle week!  This week the Avery Elle design team is playing with some amazing metal sheets from Add A Little Dazzle.  These sheets work great with our Elle-ments dies!  After visiting here, be sure to check out the Add A Little Dazzle blog for even more inspiration!  Be sure to comment on our company and designer blogs throughout to week to be entered to win one of two prizes - a $30 Avery Elle Gift Certificate or a prize from Add A Little Dazzle!  Winners will be announced on Monday, October 6th.

Maska created this page using our new We R Family, Look Up stamp sets and Finished Frames dies.  I see some images from our Sending You, Simply Said Love and Petals and Stems sets too.  Just to name a few.  :)  I love how the smaller dies from our Finished Frames set look when cut out with Add A Little Dazzle's Golden Glimmer Metal Sheet.  It is like the two products are made for each other.  What a perfect way to add cute gold accents to a project!  I also must say that I adore the color combination that Maska used.  I don't usually go for pink but it looks so pretty and striking with this yellow color! 

My niece just had her first birthday yesterday and I packaged up a little gift for her using some kraft wrapping paper.  I cut two pieces of Ultra Smooth Pure White cardstock with our Gift Tags dies.  I cut hearts out of one of the tags using our Finished Frames Dies and sandwiched a piece of Add A Little Dazzle's Scarlet Red Metal Sheet in between the two tags.  I love the sunken look of the shiny hearts.  I created a coordinating card (inspired by one that the fabulous Heather Campbell made) to match using our Red & Goldie and More Stories stamps / dies.  A little bit of red and white twine tied everything together. 

Be sure to stop by Add A Little Dazzle's blog for even more inspiration today and don't forget to comment on the designer's blogs and the company blogs this week for a chance to win one of two fabulous prizes!  Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Katie Gehring created this next card using our More Stories clear stamps and dies.  I love how she stamped out a hill scene onto kraft card stock.  It is so subtle and pretty.
