Big Congrats {Avery Elle}

Hello friends,  

I am on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the Big Congrats stamp set and coordinating Elle-ments die. 

Using the Big Congrats Elle-ments die, I cut Congrats from gold card stock and the backing layer in white card stock. I layered the die cuts and used Avery Elle's liquid adhesive to attach the layers together. 

I stamped the "So Happy for You" sentiment in Versamark ink and heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder. 

I had a crafty zoom session with my friends on Saturday night and pulled out some alcohol inks. I played around with the supplies and created a few backgrounds using different colors. I pulled out one of this backgrounds and trimmed it to an A2 panel. I adhered the die cut and sentiment onto an alcohol ink background. I added a few clear flat sequins as a finishing touch. 

Supplies: 

Big Congrats Clear Stamps

Die: Big Congrats Elle-ments

Suns Out and Whiskers {Avery Elle}

Hello friends, 

I am on the Avery Elle blog this week with a double feature of inspiration... two cards featuring the Suns Out and Whiskers stamp sets! 

First is a card featuring the adorable and hilarious Suns Out clear stamps. This set just makes me smile. I colored the Bunny and his toasty buns with Copic Markers, die cut the images and positioned him on the Sea Scene Elle-ments die. I adhered the sea scene to an A2 notecard covered with Avery Elle's patterned paper.

I added a cluster of flowers and leaves from the Tropical Bouquet clear stamps and stamped the sentiment in black ink onto a Party Tag Elle-ments die cut. I trimmed the tag and adhered it to the top of my card.

My next card features the new Whiskers clear stamps. I wanted to feature ALL the kitties in the set, so I decided to create four little vignettes on a slimline card. I masked off the card at 2 1/8 increments and blended Distress Oxide ink to create the backgrounds. I spattered the blended panel with water and used an white gel pen to brighten some of the water spots. 

Next I stamps, colored and die cut all the kitties and their accessories. I adhered the kitties to each panel and added a sentiment from the set. I really love these sweet felines and I know just the cat lover who will appreciate this card!
