Happy New Year!  As we go into 2015 we can't help but think of how fortunate we are to be a part of this amazing crafting community.  Thank you for all of your support and enthusiasm this past year!  We are looking forward to 2015 and showing you all of the great new products we have in store!  All next week we will be showing sneak peeks of our CHA release.  We can't wait!

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!

Inspiration from Chunyuan and Melania!

Today I have the pleasure of sharing some amazing cards with you.  Just check it out!  Chunyuan Wu created two cards using our new Bunting stamp set.  I love how graphic and modern this first card is.

This next card uses the strings from Bunting with the hearts from Sending You and a sentiment from our Many Thanks clear stamp set.  Chunyuan shows how you can stretch this set further with images and sentiments that you may already have in your collection!

Melania Deasy created this next card using our You're Invited Die and Alice & Friends and Red & Goldie stamps.  The bright patterned paper from our The Brights Collection really pops against all the white.  This is such a cute invitation!  I just love it!

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to those of us in the US.  I hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday.  We are so thankful for you and want to show our appreciation with a sale.  We truly believe that we have THE BEST customers and can't thank you enough for making this last 2.5 years so amazing!  If you have been wanting to stock up on our cardstock or try out our coordinating sequins and ribbon there has never been a better time!

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!

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!

Heather Campbell used our Avery Elle Signature Dies and Aim High stamps & dies to create this next card.  This card is bold, graphic and right up my alley!  I love it!

Be Happy & Happy Birthday

Today I have two cards to share with you.  Chunyuan used our So Happy, Oh Happy Day and Build A Banner stamps and dies to create this first card.  I love the way she stamped the flowers and birds in a cluster around the banner image.  It is so pretty.  The ombre twine is a great compliment to the colors. I love it.

Kasia used our Brushed stamp set to create a background for this next card.  She stamped the cute girl image and sentiment from Red and Goldie and the butterfly from Storybook onto the Gift Tags die to complete the card.  I love how the colors and images work together!

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

Inspiration from Chunyuan

Today I have some terrific projects by Chunyuan to share with you.

Chunyuan used our Gift Tags and Red & Goldie stamp sets to create this first card.  I love her idea of stamping the scalloped frame to mat the cute image.

Chunyuan stamped and die cut the two smallest tags from our Gift Tags set and tied them onto bottles from our Bottle It Up stamp and die set.  I love how perfect the small tags look tied onto the bottles.  My head is swimming with ideas for other ways to combine these two sets!

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!

Gift Tags, So Happy & A Preview!

Hello!  Today I have the pleasure of showing you some very cute projects by Yainea and Caryn.  Yainea created three sets of tags using our new Gift Tags stamp set.   I love how she used the cute images from our We Go Together stamp set on this first package.  Our Air Mail set is the perfect compliment to the tags in the second set.  Last but not least, our Red & Goldie set looks adorable against the scalloped label and Dotted Banner on the third gift bag.  Do you see the patterned paper that Yainea used in all of her projects?  It is a new product of ours and will be available for purchase this coming Wednesday!   I am so excited about it.   Our new patterned paper packs will coordinate with some of our most popular ink pad colors!  Be sure to stop by here tomorrow for all of the details on our new patterned paper packs.

 

Caryn created this next card using our a sentiment from our So Happy stamp set, the dashed heart image from our Sending You stamp set and our Dotted Dies.   It is clean and simple and just too cute!  I love it.
