Avery Elle – Fly By

I’m over on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the gorgeous Fly By stamp set and dies.  I actually went for a different look and rather than use the aeroplane image I focussed on the cool sentiment dies that are included in the die collection.  I’m really into stripes at the moment (just take a look at my last few blog posts) and the Avery Elle patterned paper packs all contain a fabulous diagonal stripe paper in them.  I used the black and white one for this card from the Neutrals collection.  I also used some gold foils to give the die cut sentiment and hearts a shiny look.

It’s a bank holiday here in the UK today so I’m having a bonus day off from work – hope you’re having a great day wherever you are.

Avery Elle – Super

Hello and happy Monday!  Monday means Avery Elle time on my blog and today I’m sharing a doozey of a set called Super.  It has a set of coordinating dies available too which can be used alone or with the images.  There is a definite “comic book” (or graphic novel to the geeks!!) style about this set so I took my inspiration from there.  One of the papers from the Everyday Paper Pad has a sunray design so I chose this as my backdrop.  I then die cut the city skyline from black card and again from white.  I stamped the white peice with the coordinating stamp and then coloured it with Copics.  As I was making this for my nephew I stamped the Happy Birthday and then took a wee number 7 from Elle’s Aplhas to personalise it a wee bit..

Thank you so much for dropping by – hope you have a great day.

Avery Elle: Party Bunny

Good afternoon – I’m here with my usual Monday dose of Avery Elle goodness and this time I’ve been playing with Party Bunny and the Balloons sets.  It may not look it but this card was a real challenge!  I could’ve done with about 10 hands to make it – the balloons just wouldn’t go where I wanted them!  I probably made it more difficult for myself than it needed to be but I got there in the end!  Look how perfectly lined up the stamps are on those die-cuts.  That’s all down to the MISTI – I didn’t waste a single balloon – love that thing!
