Avery Elle: aw nuts

O Tiny Tree with Elena

October 23, 2020

Hi there!

Elena here with 3 cute cards featuring a stamp set from our newest release, O Tiny Tree.

First up, a sweet little scene, complete with a birdy helper:

I did some ink blending on the background layer, giving it a soft blue and purple sky, and then just built the scene. The bird and present that I used here are from Woodland Scene Builder.

My second card features the reindeer from the set:

I again did some ink blending on the background layer, this time in an aqua blue, and created a woodland scene using a mix of images from our current sets. The large fa-la-la greeting is from the Jingle set, and I love how it looks in a bright red! To finish things off I went a little crazy adding snow with my white enamel.

For my 3rd set, I created something as cozy as a hand-knit sweater:

I stamped the strips from Nordic Patterns and did some ink blending on top so it was super subtle. It made the perfect backdrop from these 2 friends to exchange gifts! A little heart and a sentiment strip finish off this card.

I hope you like what I created for today! Thanks for stopping by!

Aw, Nuts! Amy here using the adorable Aw, Nuts stamp set from the new release.

I created a falling leaf background by alternatively stamping the image......stamp, ink, rotate stamp, repeat. The leaves were Copic colored with YR02, YR04, YR08, and Y13.

The squirrel in the acorn was Copic colored and die cut using the coordinating Aw, Nuts Elle-ments. The image was adhered with foam adhesive to the trimmed,background panel stamped above. A simple sentiment stamped in black on kraft and also added with foam adhesive.

Aw, Nuts - Day 3

October 6, 2020

Hi there!

Elena here with a cozy fall card featuring the new Aw, Nuts stamp set:

I just love the little squirrel in his acorn home, and wanted him to be the center of attention! A great way to push all the focus on him was to use the Ray background die. I cut it out of kraft paper, and then used an ink blender to darken the area around the opening. I also added texture and more interest by splattering darker brown and white paint onto the die-cut layer before adding in the images.

After working on the base layer, I added in the squirrel onto foam squares, nestling him behind some brightly colored mushrooms. Even though the card is dark and earthy in tone, I wanted to add in some pops of color - the mushrooms, the mug, the leaf, and his scarf all break up the brown tones that are prominent on this card.

For a final touch, I added the bird, from Woodland Scene Builder, and used a white gel pen to draw in a little dotted path.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Jingle & Aw, Nuts - Day 2

October 5, 2020

Hey there! Caryn here today sharing a couple of cards featuring some gorgeous new products (and a couple of my favourite oldies too!).

For my first card I paired (again) the Aw, Nuts! set from the brand new release with the Fall Foliage set from last year. I shared a card last week HERE showing how beautifully this year's Fall sets co-ordinate with stamps you probably already have in your collection.

On this card I stamped the images onto white card using Truffle Pigment Ink which works great for watercolouring. I pulled out my Zig Clean Colour Markers and water brush and coloured my images in rich, Autumn colours - I can't get enough of these colours right now!

I used a kraft A2 card base and using an oval stencil and a blending brush I created a focal point on the centre of the card and then used the Avery Elle White Spray to add a subtle speckling of white before adding my coloured images using foam adhesive.

Supplies used:

Aw Nuts Clear Stamps

Aw Nuts Elle-ments

Fall Foliage Clear Stamps

Fall Foliage Elle-ments

White Ink Spray

I am also sharing a card using the great new sentiment set, Jingle. I love big sentiments like these, they make it so easy to rustle up cards and tags in no time!

I started by cutting a panel from white card slightly smaller than my A2 kraft card base. I then took different stamps from the Nordic Patterns set and stamped a design in red and green inks. In the middle of the pattern I stamped the Jingle and All The Way sentiments then continued to build up the pattern.

Once I was happy with that I used the star cookie die from Christmas Cookies and cut an aperture on the panel and then used that to place the co ordinating stamp onto the kraft card underneath.
