Avery Elle … Critter Crew

Hey, I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a colourful card featuring the fun Critter Crew stamp set and co ordinating dies.  I just love these wee guys Heather has created and love to see where they’re going to pop up next.  For my card I created a background using Distress Oxide inks splattered with gold spray and adhered a Polka Plate die cut over the top to break up the background a little.

Next I stamped the Critter Crew twice and fussy cut around the front “layer” so I could have them popped up to give a bit more dimension to the scene.   I coloured them all with Copics and for some bling I added Avery Elle glitter to their hats!

For some added sparkle I die cut the Star Frame using gold glitter adhesive paper and placed it onto the card before popping the Critters on top.  To finish I stamped the sentiment in (from Toucan Party) in gold embossing powder and added it to the front of the card.

Avery Elle … Take A Peek

Here’s a wee video showing how it all came together.

Sharktastic 10th Birthday

It was my nephew’s birthday recently and he went into double figures – yay!  We bought him a shark nanobot thingy as a gift so I thought it would be cool to create a card to compliment the present – and what better set to reach for than one I designed myself for Avery Elle, Hello Chum.  I know I’m totally biased but I STILL love this set.  I love sharks so this will always be close to my heart.

 

I created the background panel using alcohol inks on Yupo paper.  A very addictive pass time that is – alcohol marker play.  I used the Horizontal Stripes dies and number balloon dies along with the sentiment from the Birthday Bus set all from Avery Elle.

Supplies used:

Hello Chum Clear Stamp Set

Hello Chum Elle-ments

Horizontal Stripes Elle-ments

Number Balloons Elle-ments

Birthday Bus Clear stamps
