Hello Sunshine {Avery Elle}

Hello friends, 

Katie here with a card and technique to share with you featuring Avery Elle's Loads of Hello stamp set. Loads of Hello is such a great set and the main sentiments are a substantial size and easily command attention on a card. 

One of my favorite techniques for sets with big and bold sentiments is to substitute an image for a letter. 

For this technique, I selected the "hello" sentiment. I stamped and die cut 'hello" and cut off the "o" and replaced it with the sun image from the Sunshine stamp set. 

To reinforce the sunshine vibe, I added the "sunshine" text block from the Loads of Hello set. I created the background using the Oval Burst Elle-ments die and the Cloud Mat Elle-ments die. I backed the oval with a gradient blue piece of patterned paper from the Spring Collection paper pad. I also added a couple clouds I had previously cut using the Cloud Mat die. 

Once everything was adhered into place, I added a few clear sequins as a finishing touch. 

Supplies: 

Loads of Hello clear stamps

Die- Loads of Hello Elle-ments

Die- Oval Burst Elle-ments

Die- Cloud Mat Elle-ments

The Spring Collection Paper Pad

I hope this idea inspires you to look at new ways to combine your sentiments and images! Thanks for stopping by!

Avery Elle Spring 2021 New Release!

 

Hello friends, 

I am so excited to share my first projects from Avery Elle's Spring 2021 Release.  I have two cards to share with you today featuring the absolutely adorable and charming Elephantastic stamp set.  

For my first card, I blended Distress Ink onto a panel of water color card stock to create grass and sky. Next, I stamped the images onto white card stock and colored them with Copic markers. 

I die cut the images using the coordinating Elephantastic Elle-ments dies and arranged them onto the blended panel. I adhered the images to the panel and stamped the sentiment in black ink. 

For my next card, I decided to create a slimline design.  I used a stencil made with the Pierced Clouds Elle-ments die (Retired) and lots of shades of Distress Oxide ink to create a rainbow cloud background. I spattered the background with both water and white ink to create the ink lift effect. 

I stamped and colored the images using Copic markers.  I die cut the images using the coordinating Elle-ments dies and a scrap of white card stock with the Pierced Clouds die. I adhered the images to the card and stamped a sentiment from the new Circle Tags stamp set in black ink. It's hard to spot in the photos, but I used a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush marker to add a little extra sparkle to the stars!

Supplies: 

Elephantastic Clear Stamps

Die: Elephantastic Elle-ments

Sending Hugs {Avery Elle}

 Hello friends, 

Katie here with a couple of cards to share with you using Avery Elle's absolutely adorable Sending Hugs stamp set. 

For my first card, I stamped the envelop and the koala onto white card stock and colored the images with Copic markers. 

I die cut the images with the coordinating Elle-ments dies and adhered them to the Quilted Frame Elle-ments die cut. I stamped the sentiment on the envelop image and attached the die cut frame to an A-2 notecard. 

For my second card, I die cut the XOXO elements three times on an A2 panel. Behind the die cut panel, I adhered strips of card stock cut in 1/4" strips. 

Inside the "O"s I adhered three of the cute critters from the Sending Hugs set. I stamped the images onto white card stock, colored them with Copic Markers and die cut them with the coordinating Elle-ments dies. I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of white card stock and adhered it to the card.

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.

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.

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.
