Hi there, Elena here, with a set of tags using the Festive Wreath stamp set.

I started out by coloring and die-cutting the elements: the wreath, the birds and the bows. Then, I die-cut circle Shaker Tags - each tag needs both a full circle base layer, and one with the middle cut out, which serves as the base for the wreath.

To layer the wreath onto the circle tag, you have to widen it a little. I snipped it apart at the very top and adhered it to the circle frame layer. Then, I used foam dots to pop up the wreath layer. I love the dimension this gives the tag!

The seam at the top was hidden by the big red bow. It really looks seamless!

I then grabbed the sentiment from Sledding Critters and stamped it into the banner image from Woodland Wonders.  I added some shading to the edges of the banner with a soft brown copic marker.

The little cardinal perches on top of the banner, and I finished off the tags with lengths of Cherry Hemp Twine.

I hope you like these fun, festive tags! Thanks for stopping by!

Sledding Critters Week - Day 4

Hello everyone!!!  It's Heather Campbell here.  Today I'm playing with the new Sledding Critters stamp and die set today!  I love this little stamp because it's relatively easy and already pre-assembled but there are so fun elements that you can add to your sleigh and tree that make it a lot of fun!

To create my card, I colored and die cut the sleigh, string of Christmas lights and the reigns for the sleigh (hint: the curved line that's in this stamp is the designed to be the reigns of the sleigh!)  I added the circles to the tree to make them into ornaments!

Then, to create my background, I used the new Winter Borders die to cut the dots for the snow and the trees for the background.  I stamped my sentiment on the banner is from Wonky Stitches and popped up all of the images on some dimensional foam.  Then, to top if all off, I added some Citrus twine to the top of my card!

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing part of your day with me!  I hope you have a great day!

Sledding Critters Week - Day 3

Hello friends,

Katie here with more Sledding Critters inspiration to share with you!  This collection of critters in a winter sleigh is so adorable!  If you loved the Birthday Bus stamp set, you will certainly want to add its wintery counterpart to your collection.

I stamped the sled image from the Sledding Critters stamp set and colored it with Copic markers.  Next, I die cut the image using the coordinating Sledding Critters Elle-ments die. 

For the background, I die cut the snow balls and tree line images using the Winter Borders Elle-ments die from a panel of light gray card stock.  Next I die cut the panel using the Pierced Rectangles Elle-ments die and adhered the die cut panel to a white note card.  I adhered the sled image, stamped the sentiment with black ink and added a few clear droplets as a finishing touch. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Be sure to check back every day this week for even more ideas using the Sledding Critters stamp set!

Sledding Critters Week - Day 2

Hi there!

Elena here, with a fun card featuring Sledding Critters.

I loooved the critters found in the previously-released Birthday Bus, and this one features a few of the same characters. I was so excited to ink them up and start coloring! The bear with the snow goggles? I die.

I colored and die-cut the main image and stamped a greeting from Brring On The Joy directly onto the sled.

To back the critters, I grabbed a sheet of minty cardstock and ran it through the die-cutter using the Falling Snow die. I used it a ton last year and don't see myself putting it out of reach for this holiday season either. 

To frame the snow and sledding animals, I layered a Horizontal Stripes die-cut over my white card base. The tone-on-tone isn't busy, but is so much more interesting than just layering onto a plain folded card.

Finally, I stamped a few strings of lights to go across the top, and in the center, a wreath (from Brring On The Joy.)

I hope you like it!

Sledding Critters Week - Day 1

This week we are featuring projects using our adorable Sledding Critters stamp & die sets.  The projects this week are amazing so be sure to stop by each day to see what our amazing design team has for you.  Today Yainea has the cutest card and tip on how to make a custom stencil as well.  Check it out!

Hello there!

It's Yainea here to share a card and a little tip on how to stretch your supplies!
Today I'm sharing a card featuring the cute Sledding Critters stamps and dies.
I started by stamping them on Bristol smooth cardstock with a waterproof ink and then used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush to color them.

Because the image is full of critters and I used bold colors for my coloring, I decided to keep the rest of the card simple. I created a little scene with some favorite dies: the new Cityscape Elle-ments and the super versatile Picket Fence Elle-ments. And because it's  Christmas scene card, I wanted to add some snow. I love adding texture to my cards and a stencil seemed a great option to do that so I decided to create my own!

This is something really easy to do, you just need a piece of acetate and a die. I used the Falling Snow die, running it on top of my acetate piece several times until I have it completely covered of "snow holes". Then I placed my custom stencil on top of my piece of cardstock and applied some snow  embossing paste.

Once the background is covered with snow, make sure to clean everything with water so you can keep using your new stencil forever :) Then let the snow dry and you're ready to finish your card!

I adhered my scene panel to a kraft card base where I heat embossed the sentiment of the card and,
as a little detail, I used some Glossy Accents on the bear glasses, several colors of Nuvo drops on the Christmas lights and some twine for the top of the card :)

I hope you like my project and give a try to my little tip. You can create your own stencils using a lot of different big and small dies from different sets, just have fun!

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a great day!

Warm Wishes Week - Day 4

Hi Everyone, Ashley here! I LOVE all of the holiday products right now and am super excited to share Warm Wishes with you today. One of the joys of Avery Elle stamps and dies is how well they work together. I'm going to share a fun combo with you today!

To create my card I stamped the large jar from Warm Wishes. Next I masked the bottom and stamped the ice burg from Brring on the Joy. Next I stamped the inside images, the tree from Warm Wishes, the penguin from Brring on the Joy, the lights from Sledding Critters and the star from Festive Wreath. See how well they all work together!

After I colored and die cut the images and die cut the back frame with Diagonal Stripes and Double Pierced Rectangles. The sentiment was embossed on black card stock to finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by!
