Avery Elle … Corner Sentiments: Holliday

Hey there, I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today sharing a card and video showcasing the fabulous Corner Sentiments: Holiday stamp set.  I’ve paired it with a previously released set Holiday Bouquet.

Here’s a short video showing how this design came together:

I started with a white card base and die cut a frame in green using the Wonky Scalloped Frames die set.

Next I stamped the sentiment in the frame and stamped, coloured and die cut the images from Holiday Bouquet.
I added a wee bit of sparkle using Avery Elle Coarse Glitter to the berries and then assembled my coloured images onto the card front.

Avery Elle … Grateful

Hey there, here with a card I created using the gorgeous new Grateful stamp set and co-ordinating dies from Avery Elle.  This is only a small set (3×4 “) but it certainly packs a punch and you can create so may different looks.  I stamped the oak leaves a few times with Avery Elle Truffle dye ink so I could use some warm, fall colours from my Copics collection.  By using a brown ink rather than a black or grey, it helps to give an overall Autumnal tone to the colour scheme.

I stamped and die cut the little acorns and added some little dots of colour which adds a bit more texture than just colouring a solid blend.
For the card base I opted for a stone colour, again to bring in some warmth and then die cut a panel using my all time favourite Avery Elle background die, Horizontal Stripes Elle-ments from white card.  If you haven’t added this die to your collection yet then you must – it is SO useful.

To bring everything together I arranged the leaves into a kind of swag or wreath on the front of the panel and then stamped the “thankful” sentiment from the set (SO happy that this sentiment has a co-ordinating die) and die cut it and finished off with a small banner with the “for you” stamped on to it.

Avery Elle … Sending Peace

Hey there, here sharing a card using the gorgeous new holiday set from Avery Elle , Sending Peace.  I thought I’d go for non-traditional colours for this one and used some of my favourite Avery Elle Pigment Inks – Sugar Plum, Magenta and and Raspberry.  I blended the inks onto some white card (smooth Bristol card is good for this, the inks blend beautifully) and then used the new Three Stars Elle-ments to die cut the stars.

I used my MISTI to stamp the three sentiments stamps in a graduated colour from purple to pink to match in with the colour on the stars.  To finish I added a spritz of shimmer to the stars before adding them onto the card.
