Some Bunny Loves You {Avery Elle}

Hello friends,

I am on the Avery Elle blog today featuring the sweet Some Bunny stamp set. 


First, I stamped the bunny, balloon, and hearts onto white card stock using Avery Elle's New Moon dye ink.  I colored the images with Copic markers and die cut them using the Some Bunny Elle-ments dies.

Next, I cut a panel of watercolor card stock with the Wonky Stitches Elle-ments die and used Distress Oxide Ink t create a blended panel.  I spatted the blended background with water and gold Color Shine.

Finally, I adhered the images to the background and stamped the sentiment with black ink before adhering it to a white A2 notecard.

Supplies

I think it was Winnie the Pooh who said, "No one can be uncheered with a balloon."  I hope this card and sweet stamp set brings a little cheer to your day.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Stockpiling Simple Sentiments {Avery Elle}


Hello friends,

Katie here with a simple tip using the Simple Sentiments stamp set.

Stacking sentiments can help small, simple sentiments make a big impact, and I have a tip to share to easily create a stockpile of these sentiments so they are ready for your next card project.


We're going for minimal effort here, so to stamp the sentiments at once, I kept all the stamps on the carrier sheet and taped the sheet to my MISTI using washi tape.


These sentiments are spaced out evenly- so that you can die cut around the sentiments you want to use with the Simple Sentiments Elle-Ments die.


I used light tack tape to hold the dies in place while I ran them through my die cut machine.


You can keep the sheet intact and die cut additional sentiments as the need arises, but I decided to use my trimmer to cut up the rest of the sentiments.  I'll be all set to add a simple sentiment or two to my next card!



I added three of the simple sentiments to a card featuring the Toucan Party stamp set.  I think the sentiments compliment the Toucan scene perfectly!

Happy Heart Card {Avery Elle}

Hello friends,

I am on the Avery Elle blog this week with a quick and cute little card to share with you featuring the And Then stamp set.  And Then is a fantastic sentiment set.  It's perfect for your all the loves in your life, from family and significant others to kiddos and special friends.

I adore the "You make my Heart Happy" sentiment and it takes center stage on the Tons of Hearts Frame Elle-ments die.  I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Black Onyx ink and heat embossed it with Avery Elle's clear embossing powder.


I backed the hearts frame die that with a panel of blended Distress Oxide inks (Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, and Wilted Violet).  I attached the panel to a white notecard trimmed down to 4.25" square.


Supplies: 


I hope this little card made your heart happy!  It makes my heart happy that you shared part of your day with me!  Thanks for stopping by!
