Avery Elle / Modern Tags

Hello!

I'm here with a project using many new products released just last week from Avery Elle!

I started off using the Flower Power Stencil.  Using only the ink on my pink blender brush, the ink was blended over the stencil onto a panel of white cardstock and onto a 3 1/4' x 3 1/4' separate smaller piece.  Into the smaller cardstock piece, the 'HB2U', die from the Modern Tags, was die cut.  This square was stamped with a sentiment from the Modern Tags stamp set and then added to the stenciled background using foam adhesive.  To keep this simple, a few flowers (from Easter Egg) were Copic colored, adorned with a black gem, and added to the panel.

The pinwheels are my favorite and so fun to piece together!!  I've paired it with the Thanks die and backer and a sentiment from the Simple Strips set called For the Gnomies.

My next card using another one of the patterns to create this......

Taylored Expressions / Young at Heart

Welcome to the Young at Heart Release from Taylored Expressions!

We have released some fun "treat" ideas for those Valentines!

First up, is the Berry Sweet Treat featuring an adorable strawberry!
It easily holds a few treats like the "nuggets" or other small candy.  I've decorated some of mine with the Burlap Background for some added texture.  I added some mini tags (hand trimmed by myself because I don't have the mini tag dies) with burlap string from Taylored Expressions.

--------------------------------------------------

Our second treat is the I'm a Sucker for You.  This treat is super quick to assemble and would be easy for some younger hands!  The dies have stitching detail around the edges of the petals and leaves.  I've used a bone folder to loosen the petals and bend them to curve outward.  You can decorate the stems with Washi Tape and this keeps the leaves and flower at the top.  You can use Tootsie Pops or other larger sucker!  

Hope you have enjoyed these projects!!

Happy treat making!!!

Avery Elle / Scoop

Hello!

I am here sharing a "scoop" of happiness!  

The stamp/die set called Scoop from Avery Elle is SO much fun to put together for a shaped card.  This has many layers to keep it sturdy for standing!  I started by stamping the image onto pattern paper for the "bowl" and hand trimming out.  The scoops were colored with Copic markers and sprinkles were added with the additional dies in the set.  The bowl was pieced back to the card and tiny dots were added to the scallops with a black fine marker.  

Supplies:

Taylored Expressions / Valentine Release

Welcome to the Valentine Release from Taylored Expressions!

This release is SOO good!

I adore pizza.....I mean, I could eat it every day.  So when I saw this set was releasing, I may have squealed!  Pizza My Heart is so much fun.....you can put as much into it as you want.  I added shading to my layers of the pizza and toppings of my choice.  The best part?  This uses up some of my scraps!

--------------------------------------------------------

My second card uses the Mosaic Heart Die along with the sentiment set called With Love.  I've used the sentiment by gold heat embossing it several times and die cutting it out to layer behind my heart as faux pattern paper.  I've paired the heart with the new Postage Stamp Stacklets.

--------------------------------------------------------

Up next is the additon of a Valentine stencil for the very popular Let it Grow Kit that was released earlier this year!  

I LOVE this set!  I blended my pots in a light Toffee color and applied color over the top for the hearts.  I added my pots and greens to the Diamond Piercing Plate and added a frame from Frame in Frame Cutting Plate.

--------------------------------------------------------

Right now through 8AM Central on Tuesday, January 9th, or while supplies last, when you place an order of $100+ you will receive the Mosaic Heart die collection FREE. Add depth and dimension to the Valentine or love themed projects that you create! The heart can be watercolored, paper-pieced, or blended to look like a mosaic heart. The set includes 2 dies: a solid heart backer & a detailed mosaic overlay. This set replaces our usual $100+ Gift With Purchase for January during the Valentine release. Offer valid while supplies last.

Enjoy the new release!

Avery Elle / Pop-Up Frenchie

Hello!

I am here today with the cutest little Pop-Up Frenchie set from Avery Elle!  

With Valentine's Day being the next holiday to send some love and hugs, this card is perfect!  I've used some pattern paper from Avery Elle (now discontinued) but I challenge you to find some pattern paper in your stash to use.......come on, I know you have some!  

I created a layered frame using the Pierced Rounded Frames Elle-ments for my Frenchie to "peek" out of.  Using the heart dies included, I added a few die cut hearts embellished with Stickles.  For the sentiment, I stamped the XOXO repeatedly onto a thin strip of cardstock and adhered with foam adhesive.
