Hello and welcome to the Avery Elle August Release Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from my chum Karolyn Loncon’s awesome blog but if you’re lost and want to go back to the start then head over to the Avery Elle Blog and start from there!
So ……. YAY! The day is finally here when I get to share, not just an AMAZING new release from Avery Elle (my favourite yet) but also I get to premier my very first stamp set called Pick ‘n’ Mix that I actually designed MYSELF!! Wait, WHAAAAAT! I know – unbelievable!!
I can’t express how grateful I am to Jamie and Avery Elle for giving me this opportunity! What started as a desperate need to find a gummy bear stamp (which I just couldn’t find anywhere) and a poke in the right direction from my sweet friend Heather Campbell I ended up taking the plunge into stamp designing! Fast forward a few weeks and a few late nights learning the technicalities of Adobe Illustrator and I created my first set which grew from the first image of a little gummy bear to a whole candy shop! I only had time to create a couple of cards before I left for our trip to Australia but this first card is pretty much what I had in my head from the very beginning. Each of the bears is coloured with Copics and then coated in Glossy Accents (but you can’t really tell from the photo!). I had so much fun designing this set and I really hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!
Your next stop on this amazing hop is my gorgeous, sweet friend Heather Campbell. She has some fantastic new stamps in this release too! Happy hopping!

I love your cards, those “sweets” are beautifully done! Need the gummy bears, my son LOVES gummy bears, I send him some every couple of weeks (he is away at college) this would be a cute stamp to have to put on the notes I send him!
Gummie Bears FANTASTIC!!!!
You made the canies so really i coule eat them, especially the gummies!
AWESOMELY CUTE and VERY SWEET CARDS!!! I love them!!!
OMG, those gummy bears are super, super cute!
Great job with your first stamp design! Love the gummy bears and the licorice assortment. It’s nice to have some different candies to color and the licorice will be great for some cards for the older “kids”. 🙂
Your wintry scenes have me ‘nearly’ ready to bundle up to go play in the snow (which is falling where I am right now. Seriously!). Fabulous showcase of a ‘must have’ release!
