Just A Note & Elle's Alphas

Hello!  Today I am sharing two fabulous cards by Melania Deasy and Chunyuan Wu.  Melania used our Petals and Stems stamps and dies and our Just A Note die to create this first card.  I absolutely LOVE the arrangement of the dies on this card.  Simply Gorgeous!

Chunyuan used our Fabulous Florals and Build A Banner dies along with our Elle's Alphas stamps and The Brights Collection patterned paper to create this next card.  Very festive!

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!

New Color Coordinating Patterned Paper Packs & More!

Today I get to share two fabulous projects with you and introduce a new product line that will be available for purchase starting tomorrow!

Kasia created this cool card using our Simply Said Happy Stamp and Die set.  I love how she stamped the word happy over and over to create a fun focal point.  Do you see the polka dot paper that she used for her die cut happy sentiment? It is from our new patterned paper pack, The Sorbet Collection.  See the end of this post for more details!

Chunyuan used some patterned paper from our new The Brights Collection Paper Pack, our Petals & Stems stamps and dies, a sentiment from our Many Thanks stamp set and our Dotted Dies to create this gorgeous card.  I adore the color combination! 

I so am excited that it is time to introduce our new Patterned Paper Pads that will be available for purchase starting tomorrow! 

The colors used in our patterned paper pads are made specifically to coordinate with our Pigment Ink Pads!!

We took the guess work out of creating perfectly coordinated projects. Use these products together or on their own for gorgeous results.  Each 6 x 6 inch pad contains 24 double-sided papers with 24 unique designs. Our paper pads are proudly made in the USA. Our patterned paper is 65 lb cardstock and is acid and lignin free. We picked some of our most popular ink pad colors to start.  If these two paper pads do well we have plans to release more colors in the future!

The Brights Collection 6 x 6 In Paper Pad - Retails $6

The colors used in The Brights Collection paper pads are custom made to coordinate with our Aquamarine, Fizz, Mimosa and Raspberry Pigment Ink Pads. 

The Sorbet Collection 6 x 6 In Paper Pad - Retails $6

The colors used in our The Sorbet Collection paper pads are custom made to coordinate with our Lemon Grass, Mint To Be, Pixie and Sea Glass Pigment Ink Pads.

Four Terrific Cards!

 Today I have four terrific projects to share with you.  Yainea created this first card using our Simply Said Hello die, leaves from Petals & Stems and the polka dot stamp from our new Woodgrain & More stamp set.  I love the color combination, embossing and twine bow detail!

Caryn created these next three cards using our Storybook stamp set.  She added letters from our Avery's Alphas dies in the first card and the "hill" is from our Custom Panels die in the last card.  I just love all of them.

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

Hello Hello

Today we have JJ with this bold and graphic card she created using our Laurels, Petals & Stems and Rounded Diamonds stamp sets.  I love the contrast of the black and white stripes with the pretty flower.  That gold glitter is the perfect finishing touch!

Heather created this fun card using our Modern Leaves stamp set.  I love the way she grounded the sentiment with the watercolor background, ink splatters & sequins.  So fun!

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

LOADS of Inspiration Today!

Hello!  I hope that you are having a great week.  We wanted to let you know that in honor of the Thanksgiving Holiday we will be having a sale this Friday, November 29th.  Be sure to check back here on the blog tomorrow for more details.

Today is our last day with our incredible guest designer, Yainea.  It has been such a pleasure working with her this month and I have been so inspired by every single project that she has created.  Thank you for a fantastic month Yainea!  Be sure to stop by her blog to leave her some love. ;)

Yainea created two projects for us today.  The first is a tag and card set made using our Laurels and Let It Snow stamp sets.  So pretty!

Yainea created a shaker card and used the trees from our Let It Snow stamp set as the background in this next project - brilliant!  The sweet fox from our Happy Camper stamp set is the cutest little accent. 

Heather created this pretty card using our Winter Wreath and Laurels stamp sets.  Heather shows how the images from these sets can easily be mixed and matched to create a variety of gorgeous looks. The little touches of glitter that Heather used are the perfect finishing touch.

 Maska created this bright and fun layout using our Oh Yeah, Simply Tags Christmas, Party Animal, Petals & Stems and Home Sweet Home stamp sets.  I love looking at all of the fun layers that Maska creates on her projects.  They are always expertly executed.

Inspiration from Heather and JJ

Today we have JJ with this card using our Petals and Stems stamp set, Aim High stamp set and Aim High dies.  I love how she paired the Chin Up sentiment with the soft flowers.  It is such a great combination.

Heather created this bright and colorful card using our Suzani and Oh Happy Day clear stamp sets.  Her stamped background is so fun!  One of the great things about our Suzani set is the way that you can stamp each element separately to create custom looks!

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

Stripes and more stripes!

Today we have Donna with these fun and graphic tags.  She stamped the stripes from our Texture Tiles: Be Cool stamp set onto the tag base and embellished them with our Petals and Stems stamps and dies.  I love the way she tied the whole look together by using black and white twine.

Nina created this card using our Oh Yeah dies and Texture Tiles: Be Cool.  I love how she made the largest speech bubble look like a rounded rectangle mat on this card.  What a great way to stretch these dies.

Inspiration from Jen and Maska!!

Today we have Jen Rzasa with this terrific card she made using our Modern Leaves clear stamp set.  I love how she embossed with the die to create the subtle outline around each leaf.  That little bit of dimension is the perfect touch.  Be sure to stop by her blog for more details.

Maska has this fun layout using our Ikat clear stamp set  with some Petals & Stems mixed in.  I love the long Ikat borders that she has created here and all of the layers.  So pretty!  Each time I look at this page I notice new and fun little details. :)
