Avery Elle / Best Day

Hello!
I'm here today with a birthday card and a fun "fold" technique for your card too using some Avery Elle products!

****Shop for Avery Elle HERE****


Best Day2


There are four adorable critters in the Best Day set so I had to color them all up and use them for my card!  Each one was Copic colored and die cut using the coordinating dies.  I set these aside to begin on the background of my card.


Best Day


I started with a piece of white cardstock measuring 4 1/4" X 11" and then scored it at 2 3/4" from each end.  Such a fun twist on the traditional A2 card!  For the blue panel, I die cut a stitched border using Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments and cut it in half.  This makes the perfect backdrop for the birthday critters!  The "It's Party Time" stamp from, Guess What?, was stamped at the bottom of each side to "ground" the critters.  Each critter was added with foam adhesive and to keep the card closed, the flag "pole" is tucked in behind the zebras face.  Tiny stars were stamped randomly across the scene and to finish, another sentiment from Best Day was stamped on the inside of the card.

Avery Elle / Little Horse


Hello!
I'm here with a little hello and happy birthday!

Little Horse, from Avery Elle,  pairs perfectly with the Howdy stamp set but I wanted to use this mini set entirely on it's own (except for a sentiment).  

Little Horse2



I started with the Pierced Birthday Frame Elle-ments.  The inside of the frame (the card base) was masked off.  The sky and grass were ink blended with Distress Inks.  The frame was added over the blended background.  Tiny grass "tuffs" were done by adding flicks of Copic G24.  The frame was added using foam adhesive.  By using the frame, the scene "area" was smaller but perfect for just the images from this set!

A sentiment banner from Howdy was added with foam adhesive and a supporting sentiment, from Little Horse, was stamped below.

Avery Elle / Howdy


Howdy!  
I am here with a fun, farm themed birthday card using some Avery Elle stamps!


This will be perfect for a work or family birthday.  All the images are from the Howdy stamp set.  After Copic coloring the images, they were die cut using the coordinating Howdy Elle-ments.

Howdy2 

The farm images were adhered (some with foam adhesive) to an ink blended panel that was die cut using the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments for that stitched border.  Each of the sentiments were stamped onto a die cut banner also from Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments.  The die cut clouds were added from a retired die set.

Avery Elle / Hippo Hooray


Hello!  
Happy Valentine's Day!  
I have a HUGE thank you to share today featuring the Hippo Hooray mini set from Avery Elle.



Hippo Hooray2

I created the base of the card using the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments as a basis for my layout.  I love the large stitched banner that is included in this set!  I ink blended a piece of scrap cardstock with just the ink on my blender brushes for this!  The Hippo Hooray images (I used all of them on this card) were Copic colored, die cut, and added to create a mini scene on the inked banner.  To my images, I added monochromatic dots for some texture.  I finished the card off with a banner sentiment and some white gems.

Avery Elle / Spring Release 2023 / Blog Hop


Welcome to the Spring Release Blog Hop from Avery Elle!
I am so excited for this new release!

For a summary of all of the new products that are available for purchase right now check out this section in the Avery Elle store.  We will be showcasing projects using the new sets starting today and will continue to show them throughout the next few months.  

Ahoy, Matey

I am sharing an ADORABLE new set called Ahoy, Matey.  T  here are so many critters to create a fun party themed card!  I created the background by tearing a piece of ivory cardstock (a technique I haven't used in years!) and blending with Antique Linen Distress Ink.  I added my Copic colored critters along with a sandy beach and a treasure!  My sentiment was selectively stamped onto the new Guess What? Elle-ments!

Ahoy, Matey2

Avery Elle / You Bake Me So Happy

Hello!
I am here with a sweet card made with the adorable You Bake Me So Happy from Avery Elle.

****Shop Avery Elle HERE****


I started the card with a light ink blended panel using only the ink left on my red blender brush for this soft pink color.  The waving row of hearts was stamped in red ink over the pink blended area.  This panel was layered behind a white panel that was die cut using a standard circle.  The sweet images, the fox and bear, were Copic colored and added to the panel with foam adhesive.  The sentiments were white heat embossed onto black cardstock strips.  This panel was adhered to a notecard layered with red cardstock that was die cut using the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments.

Avery Elle / So Tweet

Hello!
I am stopping in today with a "tweet" card!  


So Tweet2

So Tweet is a mini set that has so many possibilities!  After some quick Copic coloring, these cute birds were die cut using the coordinating So Tweet Elle-ments.  The XOXO Elle-ments (retired) works well if you have this in your stash as little "peek-a-boo" places for the birds to stick out of!  Look through your collection and see what large word dies would work for this technique!  I chose a few colors of cardstock that were a bit non-traditional when it comes to Valentine's Day.  I added a supporting sentiment from Love Tags which was white heat embossed onto black cardstock.  To bring some sparkle to this, I added a few white gems.

Spellbinders / January Large Die of the Month

Hello!
If you love Spellbinders and their floral dies then you NEED this month's Large Die of the Month (DOM)!


Amy Kolling-DOML JAN23-2


I've also used the Embossing Folder of the Month (EOM) that is this beautiful scrolled background!!  I embossed a panel and only used a portion of it at the bottom of the card.  The floral panel was added with foam adhesive.  The sentiment was done in gold foiled paper and is from the Die of the Month (DOM).  

I just love how all the released products work so well together!!!  Mix and match for endless possibilities!

Avery Elle / Banner Celebrations


Hello!
I am here kicking off the new year with a fun card using Banner Celebrations from Avery Elle!


Banner Celebrations Bear2

I love this sentiment font and choice in this set!  Coloring these donuts was a breeze with some bright pink Copics and I love how they pop off the black background!  The bear and banners were added with foam adhesive.  I assembled the card using Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments for that stitching detail.
