Hey there, it’s my day over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a card that’s sure to put a happy smile on anyone’s face!  I am IN LOVE with the new Rainbows dies and stamp set – what a genius creation!  The dies are so versatile.  I’ve created a shaped card and used Copics to colour and inlay the rainbow pieces. I’ve managed to create an almost water-coloured effect too using the brand new Clear Shimmer Spray.  Once I coloured each piece I gave it a good spray and then dabbed off the excess.  The effect is so pretty.

    

I used the Celebrate word die from the new Dotted Frame Elle-ments to create a dimensional sentiment by using double sided foam sheet and adhering the pink card before running it through the Gemini Jnr.  I added a coat of glossy accents too.

Supplies:

Rainbows Elle-ments

Dotted Frame Elle-ments

Clear Shimmer Spray

Avery Elle … Legendary

Hey there! I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a card using the fun Legendary stamp set and co-ordinating dies from the brand new Summer release. I am always wracking my brains for ideas for cards for the boys and thought a Kraken-themed set would be ideal!

I started with a pool-coloured card base and then die cut a front panel using the Grand Photo Mat Elle-ments in white and aqua.  I popped the frame part onto the card front using foam tape then sank the inner panel into the card and adhered it with the new Liquid Glue (I love this as it gives you a little “wiggle time” before it sets firmly into place)  I added a little blue ink around the edges of the clouds then popped them into place with foam tape for a little dimension.

Next I stamped and die cut the Kraken, cake and pirate ship images from the set and coloured them with Copics.    I used the two wave sections that I had cut in aqua card from the Grand Photo Mat die and adhered everything to make it look like the beast from the deep was coming up out of the ocean grabbing the cake and ship and dragging them back down to the murky depths!!!  I think this would make a great slider card – must work on that idea!!

To finish I stamped the sentiment onto the banner die that also comes in the Grand Photo Mat die set and added some green glitter glue to the tentacles.

I’ve created a short video showing how this card came together if you’d like to see in a bit more detail.

Supplies:

Legendary Clear Stamps

Legendary Elle-ments

Grand Photo Mat Elle-ments

New Moon Dye Ink

Avery Elle Summer 2019 Release Blog Hop

 

SUMMER 2019 RELEASE

Hey AVERY ELLE fans – the BIG BLOG HOP DAY has arrived and I’m SOOOO excited to be able to bring you some fun cards showcasing some of the new designs available now in the store.  The brand new SUMMER 2019 RELEASE is spectacular and I think you’re going to LOVE all the fab new products we have to share.  I’m a little proud today as I’m sharing one of two new sets I’ve designed and yes, you guessed it – it’s SHARKS!  Well, a shark and a Manta ray to be precise!  The Celeb-RAY-tion set is illustrated to match perfectly with my first shark themed set, Hello Chum and even uses the same font on the sentiments so you can mix and match to your hearts content! I’ve also used a couple of the new die designs which I absolutely LOVE.

Ps.  Make sure you scroll right to the bottom for details on how to win some goodies for yourself!

 

The first card uses the cute manta rays from Celeb-RAY-tion and the gorgeous new Dotted Frame Die. I also used the Coral Reef dies to create a quick and simple but effective underwater scene for the rays.  I die cut the Dotted Frame once in aqua and then in white.  I wanted to blend some inks onto the white panel from the centre to make it appear more watery.  I used Distress oxides then added splatters of another of our amazing new products, the Clear Shimmer Spray.  You can see how this gives a beautiful pearly shimmer to the card – it’s so pretty in real life.  I stamped, die cut and coloured the rays and assembled the card using foam tape and our brand new Liquid Adhesive. Lastly I added some Snowball Droplets from Ellen Hutson.  They make the perfect bubbles!!

 

The second card is so fun – he wobbles!  I added a wee video below so you can see him in his shimmery, googly-eyed, wobbly glory!  I die cut the waves for the background in aqua cardstock using the brilliant new Summer Scene dies.  Then I stamped and die cut the shark from Celeb-RAY-tion and coloured him with Copics before adding a Mini Action Wobble to him (available at Ellen Hutson).  I gave him a festive, birthday look with a hat and a cake and added some seaweed and more of the Snowball Droplets before finishing off with another good spritz of the Clear Shimmer Spray.
