Peek-a-Boo Pals: Spooktacular {Avery Elle}

Hello friends,

Happy Monday! I am on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the adorable Peek-a-Boo Pals Spooktacular stamp set. It's almost fall, and it's time to start thinking about cards and paper crafting for the upcoming fall holidays, including one of my favorites, Halloween!

I blended a panel of water color card stock with Distress Oxide ink in Spiced Marmalade and stamped the sentiment with Onyx Black Versafine ink. Next, I stamped, colored and die cut the Peek-a-Boo Pals. I wanted to tuck the pals behind something spooky, so I used the new Snow Scene Elle-ments die as a cauldron, complete with bubbles and creepy googley eyes!

I trimmed the bottom edge of the Snow Scene cauldron and framed the blended panel with the Wonky Scalloped Frames Elle-ments die. I tucked the Spooktacular Pals behind the cauldron and glued their hands to the edge. As a finishing touch, I added the stamped and die cut stars.  Do you think the Snow Scene Elle-ments die works as a boiling cauldron? It's fun to find "outside the box" uses for crafty supplies.

Supplies:

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a Spooktacular day!

Avery Elle Fall 2019 Blog Hop!

Hello friends! 

Today we're celebrating Avery Elle's Fall 2019 Release with a Blog Hop to share some inspiration using the newest products.  You should have arrived from Melania Deasy's blog.

I have three cards to share with you today featuring the Simply Said- Bright stamp set and coordinating Elle-ments dies. 

For my first card, I paired Simply Said-Bright with the penguins from Polar Playtime. I stamped the penguins and colored them with Copic markers. I also stamped "Bright" onto white card stock with Versafine Black Onyx ink and heat embossed it with Avery Elle's clear embossing powder. 

I adhered the stamped and die-cut images to a panel of white card stock that I had die-cut with the Classic Flags Elle-ments die. I used one of the pieces of ephemera from Avery Elle's Holiday Ephemera pack as a background for the stamped images. I stamped "making spirits" onto the Ephemera background. I love that it tucks perfectly above "Bright."

I adhered the scalloped die-cut to an A2 card that I covered with a piece of patterned paper from the Holiday Collection paper pad. As a finishing touch, I tied a simple bow using black and white Hemp twine. 

For my next card, I paired Simply Said-Bright with the Snow Fun stamp set. For a different look, I heat embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder.  

I built the snowy scene using ephemera from Avery Elle's Holiday Ephemera pack and Holiday Paper Pad and adhered all the images and die cuts to an A2 note card. 

For my last card, I wanted to show how the Simply Said- Bright set can be used beyond the upcoming holiday season.  It stands up so well on its own as a focal point and includes sentiments that are perfect for a graduation card and lots of other occasions. 

I stamped Bright with Versafine Black Onyx ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I die cut the word and the accompanying shadow image and blended the shadow image with Distress Oxide ink. I layered the die cuts and adhered it to the Star Scene Elle-ments die and the Burst Elle-ments die before adhering everything to a 4.25" square notecard.

Swell Birthday Card {Avery Elle}

Hello friends,

I am on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the Swell stamp set.  The Swell stamp set set works so well on it's own or as a watery background with other images. Here I paired it with the CelebRAYtion stamp set to create a birthday card.

I stamped the Swell image with Veramark ink onto a panel of water color card stock and heat embossed it with Avery Elle's Rose Gold embossing powder. I used a blending brush to add Distress Oxide inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold and Tattered Rose around the edges of the card.  I stamped the sentiment from the Swell stamp sent in the center of the background image and heat embossed it with Rose Gold embossing powder.

I stamped the rays, sea grass, party hats, and cupcake images onto white card stock and colored them with Copic markers. I die cut the images with the CelebRAYtion coordinating Elle-ments dies.  I arranged the images onto the blended panel and adhered them with Avery Elle's liquid adhesive.  I attached the finished panel onto an A2 notecard.

Supplies:

Swell Clear Stamps

CelebRAYtion Clear Stamps

Die- CelebRAYtion Elle-ments

Liquid Glue Adhesive

Rose Gold Metallic Embossing Powder

That's all for me today! 

It was so 'Swell' of you to stop by and spend part of your day with me!
