Avery Elle- Winter 2021 Blog Hop

Hello friends!

Today we're celebrating Avery Elle's Winter 2021 New Release with a Blog Hop full of awesome inspiration and ideas using all the newest goodies! 

I am working with the More Critter Circle Tags stamp set today and decided to make a Valentine's card using the Toucan tag and an older Elle-ments set with a lovey twist. 

I stamped the tag with Versmark ink and heat embossed the image with gold embossing powder. I colored the toucan in pinks and purples and added a few details with a white gel pen. 

I pulled out the Leafy Frames Elle-ments dies and die cut some ombre and plaid patterned paper with the large rectangle frame. I placed the tag and layered frames onto an A-2 notecard and figured out a spot for the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment. 

As a finishing touch, I die cut and adhered some of the hearts from the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments set.  

Supplies:

More Critter Circle Tags Clear Stamps

Die: Holiday Circle Tages Elle-ments

Die: Leafy Frames Elle-ments

Die: Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments

Avery Elle Fall 2021 Release and Blog Hop!

 

Hello friends! 

I am so excited that the Avery Elle Fall 2021 Release has arrived. With this latest release you'll find loads of amazing stamps and dies for your fall and holiday crafting. 

I have a card to share with you today featuring the new Merry Elle-ments die. I love the playful and mod styling of this festive word die. I die cut the word from several shades of card stock, snipped apart the letters and glued them to a plain white Merry die cut that acted as a base for all the colorful letters. 

I repeated the process two more times and adhered the Merry words to a white card stock panel cut with the stitched rectangle from the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments die. 

I added a few stars (also from the Easy Layers Elle-ments set) and adhered the finished panel to an A2 notecard that I covered with some patterned paper from The Holiday Collection paper pad.

We have an amazing blog hop full of inspiration today and we are so glad that you are here.

Island Time {Avery Elle}

Hello friends, 

Could you use a little Island Time? After the past year, I know I could! I was able to plan a little island escape via a card using the adorable Island Time stamp set. Island Time has all the elements you need to create a darling, tropical scene.

I stamped all my images, colored them with Copic Markers and die cut the stamped images using the coordinating Island Time Elle-ments dies. 

Next, I die cut a panel of white card stock with the large stitched rectangle from the Easy Layers Elle-ments dies. I blended a circle of yellow ink using Distress Oxides in Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed. I adhered the stamped images and stamped the sentiment onto the panel with Versafine ink. As a finishing touch, I adhered a few flat clear sequins.

Slimline Sweet Day {Avery Elle}

Hello friends, 

Popping in today with a card featuring the absolutely adorable Sweet Day stamp set and the new Slimline Borders Elle-ments dies from Avery Elle. 

I stamped the images from the Sweet Day stamp set and colored them with Copic Markers. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies and set them aside while I built the slimline background. 

First, I cut a panel of watercolor card stock to 3.5" x 8.5 inches. I blended about one-third of the way down the panel with Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass. I spattered the panel with water and white ink. Next, I cut the wavy border and grassy border from a piece of Neenah Solar White card stock and blended them with Black Soot to create pavement and Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron to create grass. I adhered the borders to the panel of watercolor card stock. 

I adhered the stamp images to the panel, stamped the sentiment and adhered the completed panel to a slimline card base.

Snappy Birthday Wishes {Avery Elle}

 Hello friends, 

I have  a card on the Avery Elle blog this week featuring the new Oh Snap stamp set, Hooray Elle-ments die and Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments die. 

I just adore this snappy crocodile. He's so festive and we have lots of celebrations planned for this summer. To make the card, I die cut a panel of Neenah Solar White card stock with the large stitched die from the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments set. Next, I blended the die cut panel with two shades of Distress Oxide inks- Worn Lipstick and Dried Marigold. I spattered the panel with white ink and set it aside to dry. 

I stamped the crocodile with black ink, colored him with Copic Markers, and die cut the image using the coordinating Elle-ments die. I blended a small rectangle of Distress Heavystock with more Distress Oxide Inks- Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Salvaged Patina. I die cut the Hooray Elle-ments from the blended panel. 

I adhered the Hooray die cut at the bottom of the large blended panel and set the crocodile on top of the die cut. I pulled out the Speech Bubble stamp set and created a speech bubble to hold the "It's Your Birthday" sentiment. I added a few flat star sequins and attached the completed panel to an A2 card base.

Layered Cupcake {Avery Elle}

Hello friends,

I have a card to share today featuring Avery Elle's new Layered Cupcake clear stamps. I was immediately intrigued when I spied the previews for this set, but I was a little apprehensive too because layered stamps can be tricky. 

Once I figured out the layering line up (hint- align towards the bottom, not the top,) it was pure magic. seeing all the layers come together was like watching heat embossing for the very first time. Seriously! I fell in love fast!  

I got a little carried away making layered cupcakes and two of them found their way onto this card. I die cut the images using the coordinating Elle-ments dies and adhered them to a panel of card stock cut with the Wonky Stitches Elle-ments die. I added a couple clear flat sequins and a sentiment from the Sweet Day clear stamps. 

Supplies: 

Layed Cupcakes clear stamps

Avery Elle Summer 2021 Release and Blog Hop!

 

Hello friends, 

I am excited to be celebrating Avery Elle's Summer 2021 release today. There's a fun blog hop with loads of inspiration featuring all the goodies from the new line up. 

I have a couple cards to share using the adorable piggy from the Life stamp set. 

The Life clear stamps coordinates well with the Sweet Day stamp set, so I built a little scene featuring the two. It is my fervent wish that PIggy's ice cream is swiftly replaced by the kind ice cream truck bear. 

For my second card, I used only the Life clear stamps along with the Scallop Mat die. The wavy banner is from the new Easy Layers Elle-ments die set. 

I blended a bit of Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron on the dotted oval. I stamped  and die cut the images and colored them using Copic Markers. I curved the sentiment slightly and stamped it with black ink on the wavy banner. 

For a summary of all of our new products that are available for purchase right now check out the Brand New section in the Avery Elle shop.  Be sure to visit all the designers participating in today's hop for more inspiration!

Are you looking for rainbows? I am! Always! I am on the Avery Elle blog this week with a couple rainbow cards to share featuring the Happy Birthday Die and Look for Rainbows clear stamps.

Jingle {Avery Elle}

Hello friends, 

Just popping in today to share a couple simple cards featuring Avery Elle's Jingle stamp set. I adore this script and the holiday edition is so fun! For my first card, I used the Fa and La stamps to create a Christmas Tree shape. 

I decorated the "tree" with enamel dots and added a die cut rectangle (it's the stocking cuff from the Christmas Cookies Elle-ments set). You could also use sequins or other small stamp shapes to create the ornaments if you need to make the card flat for mailing. 

Supplies:

For my second card, I paired the Peace on Earth sentiment with the bear from the Peek-A-Boo Holiday Tag Toppers Elle-ments dies. 

I placed the bear on top of a die cut made with the Star Scene Elle-ment die. I backed the die cut with some glittery paper and added some details and shading to the bear with Copic Markers. I stamped the sentiment with Versamrk ink before heat embossing it with silver embossing powder.

Avery Elle Fall 2020 Release and Blog Hop!

 

Hello friends!

I am so excited for Avery Elle's Fall 2020 Release. It's full of all kinds of stamps and dies perfect for celebrating and crafting the most wonderful time of the year! All of the new items are available for purchase now in the Avery Elle shop and retail partners. 

I have a couple of projects to share using the new Holiday Circle Tags clear stamps and dies. 

I used the Santa Tag image to create a simple card. I used a die to cut a 2" circle in a panel of white card stock and nested the tag in the opening. I stamped the snowflakes on the panel and added a sentiment from the Jingle clear stamp set. A few sequins and a strip of patterned paper add a festive finishing touch. 

I also used the Santa Tag, coordinating Holiday Circle Tags Elle-ments dies and the Peek-a-Boo tag to decorate a small gift bag. I covered the gift bag with papers from Avery Elle's Holiday Collection paper pack. I stamped and colored the Santa Tag, die cut the tag and added the outer scalloped circle. It's the perfect size to create a focal point on a small canvas. I added a tag created with the Peek-a-Boo Tag Elle-ments. I tied the tag with twine and used a tiny clothes pin to attach the tag to the bag.  

The Avery Elle Design Team will be showcasing projects using the new release today in a fun blog hop! Be sure to stop by all the team members' blogs and show some love for the new products and designs.
