Hello!  While we are getting ready for our next release on Sept 24th I will be featuring some of my favorite Design Team projects from our Summer release.  They are so amazing and they are worth taking a second look!  I cannot wait to show you the 14 stamp sets and 15 die sets that we have coming out on September 24th.   They are sooo good! In the meantime, enjoy these great projects by Elena!

Hi there! Check out these cute cards I have for you today.

My first card is a completely 1 layer panel. It took awhile to get the dies to me across the border, so I started playing around with just the stamps. I ink-blended a night sky, and did some masking to build my scene. Everything was colored using copic markers. Only the sentiment was stamped separately and set on top.

For my second card, which is similarly 1 layer for the most part, I wanted to create a daytime look. Only the tent and the sweet bear, but this time, with a little bunny friend, from Santa Bear, and some little butterflies, from Wheelie Great. I added the sentiment as a skinny strip in the middle of the rolling hills, to cut into all of that solid green.

Once I got the dies, I couldn't help but make another couple of cards! This one features another night scene. I hand-cut an oval shape out of green cardstock for the grassy area, making sure to keep the edges jagged so it really looks like grass. Then, I used a blender brush to spread a black-inked sky, keeping the edges lighter and in line with the grassy piece. I added a blue tent, little critters making s'mores and fireflies in the night sky.

This last card is the simplest. I really wanted to feature the raccoon on a card, I love him holding the little lantern! I added the heart-in-speech-bubble image from Wheelie Great, as well as a few mushrooms from Falling For You. The Star Scene die provided the perfect backdrop.

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

Wheelie Great With Yainea

Hello there, friends! Yainea here.

Gifted Week - Day 2

Hi there!

Elena here, with a cute card featuring an oversized sentiment from Gifted, as well as images from Hot Dog.

I started out by stamping and die-cutting all of the images. The poodle-in-a-box and the doggie balloons are from Hot Dog, and the extra balloon is from the previously-released Wheelie Great. Everything was colored using copic markers. Once that was done, I set the images aside to created the rest of the card.

For the base, I cut a piece of paper from The Spring Collection Paper Pad. I love the tone-on-tone stripes so much! The whole pad is full of great, subtle patterns that are perfect for cute cards. 

Once that was done, I cut a frame and used the trail of hearts die (from Cupids) to cut a full hearts-and-confetti background. I love how this looks! I backed the light pink cardstock with a slightly darker pink color and set my images over-top of it.

To finish off, I stamped the large XOXO greeting from Gifted, and balanced it out with a smaller greeting from Hot Dog.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Gifted stamp set
Cupids elle-ments

Wheelie Great - Day 5

Hello!  Amy here alongside Ashley today with more inspiration with the stamp set Wheelie Great.  What I love about this mini set is that there are so many little stamps to embellish a scene for a birthday or every day!

I created a cheerful card using the Ray Elle-ments for my background.  I ink blended some yellow Distress Inks onto a panel and then die cut using the Ray Elle-ments.  Inside the circle cut out, Tumbled Glass Distress Ink was blended.  After Copic coloring my images, they were die cut and added with foam adhesive along with a sentiment strip to ground my image.

Hi Everyone! Today I'm sharing the very sweet stamp set Wheelie Great.

There are so many fun little images in this stamp set. I started by stamping, die cutting and coloring the bunny, flowers, heart speech bubble and butterflies. Next I inked up the background and die cut a wonky circle from Star Scene. Then I embossed the sentiment on colored card stock. Finally, I assembled all of the pieces with my favorite Avery Elle adhesive.

Hey everyone! It's Heather Campbell here. 

Today, I've got a fun little project to share with you using the new Wheelie Great stamp and die set. 

For my project, I started with the stamped bicycling bunnies on my white card stock and then die cut it with the bookmark die. 

Once they were stamped and die cut, I went ahead and ink blended the background. I didn't bother to mask anything other than the bunny and speech bubble because I knew I'd color right over the rest of it. I love this technique! 

Check out how sweet these little bookmarks turned out!?!

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing part of your day with me. Have a great one!

XO, Heather 

Wheelie Great Week - Day 3

Hello!

Katie here with a little Wheelie Great inspiration to share with you today. The images in Wheelie Great are so sweet. I love all the accessories and different elements that can be added to the bicycling bunny.

I stamped the bunny, mouse, flowers and cake image onto white card stock and colored the images with Copic markers. I die cut the images with the coordinating Wheelie Great Elle-ments dies. I also die cut a panel of white card stock with the Quilted Frame Elle-ments die. I blended the center oval with Distress Ink before adhering the images to the oval and attaching all the die cuts to an A-2 notecard.

I stamped the sentiment onto one of the narrow tags from the Party Tag Elle-ments die set. I adhered the tag to the card and added a light yellow button over the hole in the tag as a finishing touch.

Hello.  It's Caryn here again and this week the Avery Elle team are shining the light on the gorgeous Wheelie Great stamp set.  That bunny is the cutest and when I see a bunny, I just have to put a cotton tail on him!!

I started with a white card base and took one of the papers from the Create Magic card kit.  I also used a grassy border piece from the ephemera pack to set my scene.  I die cut a frame using the Dotted Frame die (which I have realised has just been retired - sorry) and then stamped and coloured the images I wanted for my card.

For the sentiment I took the smallest of the tags from the Party Tag collection and stamped on to it.  As there is a hole at the end I covered it with a wee butterfly!  All that was left to do was add the pom pom to the bunny!

Wheelie Great Week - Day 2

Hi there!

Elena here, with a Wheelie Great card!

I started out by stamping the bunny and mouse from Wheelie Great. The mouse is so cute riding in the front basket! I gave him a heart to hold, and gave the bunny the heart-speech-bubble. But still, not enough hearts. I added the envelope from Shark Hugs, and placed it on the back ledge of the bike. Still, not enough hearts. I die-cut the heart trail from Cupids, and placed other, die-cut hearts to fill in the trail.

With all of these hearts, the sentiment was a no-brainer! I laid down a tiny strip of gold paper to ground the images and add to the whimsy of the card.

I hope you like it!

Wheelie Great Week - Day 1

Hello!  This is Nicky with you today and I'm featuring the stamp set Wheelie Great for my card today.



To create this card I first created the background by ink blending to create sky and grass.  I distressed it with water splashes which I blotted up and then added a few dots of white gel pen for further interest.  This background was applied to a 110lb white cardstock base.  I then took the Dotted Frame die and die cut a panel of white cardstock.  This die cut was backed with foam tape and applied to the background.



On Copic friendly cardstock the images from Wheelie Great were stamped using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.   They were coloured up with Copic Markers, die cut and applied backed with foam tape.



To finish the card, points were highlighted with a white gel pen and the sentiment was stamped onto a strip of white cardstock, backed with foam tape and applied to the frame.

I appreciate you stopping by the blog today to read about this card.  Happy crafting!

Hi there friends and happy new year 2020!!!

Wish you lots of creative crafty moments during this new year :)
Today I have a sweet card to share with you, I'm featuring the new Cloud Mat die and Wheelie Great stamps and dies.

I usually color the images of my cards with alcohol markers but I wanted to use coloring pencils on this cute bunny and his adorable mouse friend and I had so much fun!

The Cloud Mat die is amazingly designed so you can color the sky without needing to mask the clouds like I did or you can use just the clouds or just the sky without the clouds to create more dimension using a white background behing it, yes, I love it!

Oh! For the perfect banner I used one of the smaller Party Tag dies :)
I hope you like my card for today, have a great start of the year!!!

Thanks Thanks week - Day 2

Hi there!

Elena here, with a card that mixes the new Thanks Thanks set with a few images from a previous release:

I just love the fonts in the Thanks Thanks stamp set! I chose the medium weight "thanks" and paired it with the delicately scripted "so very much." I just adore how they fit together! The fonts all mix-and-match so well, but I like thinking about a very weight with a lighter weight font, as well as a block and a script font. So great that the work is all done for you!

When you get a new stamp set, the first thing you should do is look in your stash to see what other sets could work with it! I grabbed, if you could believe it, a fall and a Christmas set, and mashed them together into this more spring-time feeling card.

The bunny is from Santa Bear, and the mushrooms are from Falling For You. I did reach for the tiny heart-in-a-speech-bubble from Wheelie Great, and that one is from the newest release.

I hope I've inspired you to look into your stash and see how you could stretch your fall and holiday stamp sets!

Hooray Week - Day 2

Hi there,

Elena here, with a fun card using the Hooray stamp set, as well as images from Wheelie Great.

I started out by stamping the bunny, the little bird, and the flowers for the basket. I die-cut them all and colored in the images using copic markers. I also stamped some clouds from another new set, Cupids.

I cut the largest Wonky Stitches rectangle, and did some soft blue ink blending in the center, leaving the edges all white.

Then, I stamped the large Hooray sentiment right where I wanted it, and stamped it again onto the edge of one of the clouds so when I adhered everything, it would look continuous. I also die-cut the edges of the clouds with the Wonky Stitches rectangle, to maintain the look of that edge.

I finished off the card with a secondary greeting underneath the bunny. I like to ground the images on my cards, and this small, straight sentiments did just that.

I hope you like it!

Party Tag Week - Day 3

Hello!  Amy here sharing a masculine project using the newly released Party Tags.  I have a special birthday in my family this month so I was glad to use these tags for something other than holiday.  

I chose a color palette with cardstocks and started die cutting the two smaller tags at the same time.  This made it super quick!  Using Pure White Embossing Powder, sentiments from Simple Sentiments were stamped on two of the tags.  Once done, all the tags were adhered to a white note card and the edges trimmed neatly.  

For my gift tag, the largest tag was die cut with white cardstock and another with the green pattern card stock from The Harvest Collection.  The large sentiment from Hooray was stamped in Jungle Pigment Ink onto the tag along with the 'happy birthday' from Simple Sentiments.  To finish, the tags were tied off with twine.
