All My Kisses {Avery Elle}

Hello friends, 

Christmas is still fresh in my mind, but I love that we are shifting into Valentine's mode. Valentine's Day is my most favorite of all the holidays for paper crafting! Bring on all the hearts, doilies, and all the delicious shades of reds and pinks. I am here for it! I am kicking off my Valentine's Day crafting with a card featuring Avery Elle's All My Kisses stamp set and the XOXO Elle-ments die. 

I die cut the XOXO Elle-ments die from a panel of white card stock three times. I adhered the die cut panel to a piece of water color card stock blended with Distress Oxide Inks and spattered with white paint. 

I stamped, colored and die cut the adorable puppy. I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of black card stock with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I adhered the puppy and the sentiment to the card. As a finishing touch, I added the three tiny hearts. I die cut the hearts from red card stock and added a layer of glossy accents to the die cuts for added dimension. 

Supplies: 

• All My Kisses clear stamps
• Die: All My Kisses Elle-ments 
• Die: XOXO Elle-ments

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Loads of Thanks {Avery Elle}

 Hello friends, 

I have a couple cards to share with  you today featuring Avery Elle's Loads of Thanks stamp set and coordinating Elle-ments dies. I was able to get two cards out of the same amount of design effort. 

I blended several shades of Distress Oxide ink onto a panel of watercolor card stock. I die cut the "thanks" word and outline from the blended panel and from white card stock. I layered the word and outline and used Avery Elle's Liquid Glue adhesive to attached the word to the outline. 

I die cut two of the Oval Burst Elle-ments and stamped some of the sentiments onto white card stock with black ink. I trimmed out the sentiments with scissors. 

I assembled the cards varying the layout and orientation slightly. I attached the "thanks" die cut to the card with foam tape for a little extra dimension.  A few clear flat sequins add a finishing touch. 

Supplies: 

• Loads of Thanks clear stamps
• Die: Loads of Thanks Elle-ments
• Die: Oval Burst Elle-ments
• Liquid Glue Adhesive

Avery Elle Winter 2020 Release and Blog Hop!

Hello friends, 

I am so excited to share my first projects from Avery Elle's Winter 2020 Release.  I have two cards to share with you today featuring the beautiful Sending Flowers stamp set.  

For my first card, I stamped a background using all of the floral images. I stamped the flowers in Versamark ink before heat embossing the images with Rose Gold embossing powder. I colored in the flowers with Copic markers.  I die cut the stamped panel with the Wonky Stitches die and adhered it to a silver note card. I stamped the sentiment, also embossed in Rose Gold, onto a strip of white card stock. I attached the sentiment to the note card with foam tape and a few clear sequins add a finishing touch. 

For my next card, I stamped, embossed, colored and die cut all the flower images and arranged them around the Quilted Frame Elle-ments die. I stamped and embossed the sentiment in the oval of the Quilted Frame die and added a few clear droplets as a finishing touch. 

Supplies: 

Sending Flowers Clear Stamps

Die: Sending Flowers Elle-ments

Rose Gold Metallic Embossing Powder

Die: Wonky Stitches Elle-ments

Die: Quilted Frame Elle-ments

Christmas Mice {Avery Elle}

 Hi everyone!

Katie here with a card to share with you featuring Avery Elle's adorable Christmas Mice stamp set. 

I stamped the mice and accessories onto white card stock and colored them with Copic markers. I die cut the stamped images using the coordinating Elle-ments dies. 

For the background, I blended three shades of Distress Oxide ink (Lucky Clover, Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers) and spattered the blended background with white paint. 

I die cut the Happy Holidays Elle-ments die from a panel watercolor card stock blended with red ink. I die cut it second time from white glitter card stock. I layered the two die cuts and offset them slightly to create a three dimensional look. 

I stamped the sentiment in black ink and adhered the mice and accessories to the bottom of the card panel. 

Supplies:

Die- Christmas Mice Elle-ments
Die- Happy Holidays Elle-ments

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: 

Jingle Clear Stamps

Die: Christmas Cookies Elle-ments

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. 

Supplies: 

Jingle Clear Stamps

Dies- Peek-A-Boo Holiday Tag Toppers Elle-ments

Dies- Star Scene Elle-ments

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.

STAMPtember Exclusive: Holiday Bells

Hello friends, 

I am thrilled to share that Avery Elle's contribution to Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember party is available now! Holiday Bells is a jaunty, sassy holiday set, and I absolutely adore it. The clear stamp set is available for purchase now exclusively at Simon Says Stamp. 

I had the most fun designing and creating this festive scene, my first card of the holiday season!

I stamped the bell outlines with black hybrid ink and colored the images with Copic Markers. On the orange and aqua bels, I stamped the bell patterns on top of the colored image using a coordinating ink color. I used a Brother Scan N Cut to cut out the bells and the bows that I stamped with black ink. 

On a panel of Distress Water Color card stock, I blended some Distress ink in Mowed Lawn and stamped the pine boughs on top with a few different shades of green ink. I stamped the sentiment onto the panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I used a tape runner to adhere the bells to the card and Avery Elle's Liquid Adhesive to glue the tiny bows to the top of the bells. I added a few highlights to the bells with a white gel pen and some clear flat sequins as a finishing touch. 

Here's a peek at the Holiday Bells stamp set available NOW at Simon Say Stamp while supplies last. 

Thanks for stopping by and celebrating with me today!
