Avery Elle … Otterly Fantastic

Hello there, I’m here with a festive twist on the fabulously fun Otterly Fantastic stamp set.  As with every year, I find it hard to see past the upcoming holidays so I like to challenge myself to turn sets that aren’t aimed at the festive season into fun Christmas-themed creations.

By picking a few little elements from other previously released holiday sets you can turn any stamp set into a Christmas one!

Here I’ve picked out the Santa hat, bell and holly images from the Dear Santa stamp set and the sentiment and string of lights from the Retro Ornaments set.  And there it is – two very festive looking otters!!!

Avery Elle … Large Pierced Scallops Elle-ments

Hello, today I’m sharing a card featuring the new Large Pierced Scallops Elle-ments.  This collection of dies has so many uses but I particularly love how you can create a perfect frame for your 41/4x 5 1/2″ cards as well as a smaller frame.  I’m really into neutral colour schemes at the moment (maybe the time of year) so used a very natural palette for my card today.

I used Avery Elle Truffle Dye Ink for all my stamping and added some colour using Copics.  There are a couple of little dots in this set so I added some polka dots to the roof of my windmill – now I want to cover everything in polka dots!!!

I curved the sentiment on my MISTI so that it would follow the line in the banner and then used foam tape to give everything a wee bit of dimension.

25 Days of Christmas Tags … Day 18 … Avery Elle

 

I am delighted to once again be participating a fun, annual Christmas event hosted by Tracey McNeely over on her amazing blog In My Creative Opinion.  This year I thought it would be fun to create a wine bottle tag as what better gift to receive than the gift of booze!!!  Of course you can substitute the wine for any other bottled gift but for me, wine will do it every time!!!
