Avery Elle … Punny Pantry

12.04.2017 by Leave a Comment

This week over the Avery Elle Blog I’m sharing a card created with the fabulous Punny Pantry Stamp set.  This set is so fun and allows you to whip up quick and funky cards in no time at all!  I created a wee 4 bar sized card from white cardstock and used the Simon Says Stamp Tiny Dots stencil to create a subtle pattern to the background using Avery Elle lemon Grass ink.  I then die cut a scalloped frame from the Scalloped Pierced Rectangles collection

Avery Elle… Wood You?

02.01.2017 by 1 Comment

Popping with a quick post to share my Avery Elle card for today.  I hope you’ve all enjoyed the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER and are not feeling to over-indulged!!  I’ve used the super cute Wood You stamp set and created a thank you card using some wood effect paper and one of the sentiments from the Tag For All die set.

Well, as I said, this is super quick – I’m going to Andorra in a few hours and haven’t even packed, lol!!!

So today I HAD to play with the three Christmas sets I created for Avery Elle in the Fall release.  The whole release was so special but I couldn’t resist using these sets (narcissistic much Caryn, lol?).
The first card is probably my favourite – I love yintage deer images and ornaments, I have quite a few dotted around my home now!  The papers I’ve used on all three cards are from the Sugar Plum paper pad from My Mind’s Eye (you know when you wish you’d bought like three of them and now you can’t get it anywhere??!!).  The deer are coloured with Copics and the card is finished with a banner from the Merry and Bright set from Simon Says Stamp.

The second card features Retro Ornaments.  Again, I am a total sucker for retro-style Christmas decor and was totally inspired to design these stamps by the ornaments  that used to hang on my Gran’s tree when I was little.  The images are coloured with Copics and fished off with some super sparkly glitter.

 Lastly I have a card featuring Dear Santa.  I’ve used this cat so many times already – she’s one sassy little lady!
