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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
