Avery Elle / Peek-a-Boo Balloon

Hello!
I am here with a card that would surely bring a smile and some hugs to a friend!

I love the Peek-a-Boo line from Avery Elle. The addition of the Peek-a-Boo Balloon for the adorable Peek-a-Boo pals is awesome!

SHOP for all your Avery Elle HERE!

I started by die cutting a piece of white cardstock using the Pierced Clouds Elle-ments many times. As I did this, I added every other row of clouds with foam adhesive. My hot air balloon was Copic colored in rainbow fashion and die cut. I added it over the raised clouds as it had a lot of dimension already. I adhered my Peek-a-Boo bunny with foam adhesive peeking out of the basket. A stamped 'Sending Hugs' and a few die cut red hearts finished the card.

Erin Lee Creative / January Release / Blog Hop

Welcome!

I am so excited to help my friend Erin of Erin Lee Creative with her latest release. The release was on Friday and is fabulous! There is an inspiration blog hop today that is listed below.......Let's have some fun!

I love the Triangle Collage Die. I love when I get a two-fer out of a die.

For my first card, I started by ink blending Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks onto a panel of cardstock. Using the the die TWICE, created all those colorful triangles from the ink blended cardstock. I added double stacked triangle outlines twice onto my card front right justified and then simply pieced the colored triangles back into place. I trimmed off the excess with my scissors. I stamped one simple sentiment, from Oh Em Gee, in black ink.

********************************

My second card uses one of the outlines die cut for my first card. I adhered it to the top of my card and pieced in various colored triangles (cut from the extra ink blended cardstock) and left some blank. The Oh Em Gee sentiment was stamped in bold black ink.

I added a small sentiment strip with "Let's Party" cut at an angle with foam adhesive and added a few scattered silver gems.

*********************************

***PRIZES***

There will be 2 (two) $25 gift certificate winners chosen and posted on Saturday, February 1 from various blogs.

Avery Elle / Wheelie Great

Hello!

I am here with inspiration with the stamp set Wheelie Great from Avery Elle. What I love about this mini set is that there are so many little stamps to embellish a scene for a birthday or every day!

I created a cheerful card using the Ray Elle-ments for my background. I ink blended some yellow Distress Inks onto a panel and then die cut using the Ray Elle-ments. Inside the circle cut out, Tumbled Glass Distress Ink was blended. After Copic coloring my images, they were die cut and added with foam adhesive along with a sentiment strip to ground my image.

Are you ready for some Pandamonium? This set has four adorable pandas along with some amazing sentiments.

I started by ink blending Twisted Citron Distress Ink onto a white panel and die cut using the Bamboo Garden SugarCut. Then I die cut the Bamboo Garden a second time and trimmed off the bamboo and layered it over the ink blended bamboo. I created a thin black frame using some standard circle dies. I added my panda to a hill with foam adhesive. Behind the bamboo image, vellum was layered. To the white notecard, Broken China Distress Ink was blended and then the panel (with the vellum) was adhered with foam adhesive. This trick really softened the blue background with a translucent affect. What you can't really see in my photo is that around the black frame there is a light Twisted Citron ink blended area.

Wheelie Amazing is another set that has so many possibilities with all the added accessories!

I had so much fun putting this card together using LOTS of SugarPea Designs products. I started by die cutting a cement color cardstock with the Card Front Element Builder SugarCut (scallop edge). Next, I stamped a tone on tone "x" pattern at the bottom using an image from Follow Your Dreams. I stamped, colored, and die cut my various images from Wheelie Amazing and decided placement. I knew I wanted to make this a "LOVE" card in some way so using the Envelope Liner SugarCut, I added a die cut "LOVE" out of red cardstock. To finish the sentiment, a tiny 'xoxo' from You're My Type was stamped in black ink. As final touches, I added a few die cut hearts that were coated in Glossy Accents.
