Avery Elle Spring 2019 Release Blog Hop

07.02.2019 by 26 Comments

 

Hey there Avery Elle fans!  Welcome to the next stop on the fabulous Spring 2019 Release blog hop.  I hope you are as excited as I am by all the fabulous new products which were all showcased at Creativation in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago.  I am so privileged to attend this great event and the reception this new release got there was pho-nomenal (giggle)!!  What’s so funny you ask?  Well one of the new sets I have designed for this release is based on one of my most favourite cuisines – Vietnamese and namely Pho (pronounced phuh).  We are lucky to have a few restaurants in my city (Liverpool, UK) where I can get my Pho-fix so it didn’t take long for me to be inspired to create a stamp set in it’s honour may I introduce PHONOMENAL!

I’m sharing a few cards using this set and some other amazing new dies that are also being released now.  By changing up the colours you can create masculine or feminine cards for many occasions by using some of the punny sentiments that are included.

 

 

 

 

Just as a tip if you want to slip the different food items into the bowl then just use a scalpel to slice along the edge of the bowl.  Then you can tuck the different images inside.

 

This one features a gorgeous new Ray die – so many uses!  This card was actually one of the Make ‘n Takes at Creativation!

 

And another new amazing die set – Arrow Mat Elle-ments.

Supplies:

Phonomenal Clear Stamps

Phonomenal Elle-ments

Ray Elle-ments

Arrow Mat Elle-ments

Double Pierced Rectangle Elle-ments

Pierced Borders Elle-ments

Banner Bits Elle-ments

Avery Elle Spring 2018 Release Blog Hop

08.02.2018 by 36 Comments

 Hello there!  Today is the day the much anticipated Spring 2018 Release from Avery Elle is available to purchase.  The release was so well received when it was revealed at Creativation last month and I have been DYING to be able to share some of the projects I’ve been creating.  Oh and you should’ve arrived here from the Avery Elle Blog but if you’re lost and want to go back to the start all the links and instructions can be found below:

I’m featuring a fabulous new sentiment set called Loads of Wishes.   It combines 2 gorgeous fonts and offers all the sentiments you need for the most commonly created cards.  On both my samples I’ve used Happy Birthday (I have a LOT of them coming up so needed to stock up).

 My first sample uses a STUNNING new stamp set called Hand Drawn Florals (fun fact – Jamie’s 15 year old daughter actually designed this set – I’m concerned for my competition!!!).  It’s such a fun set to colour and I can see this one being VERY popular!

I stamped the images using Avery Elle Fog Dye Ink (alcohol marker-friendly) and coloured them in an aqua tone using Copics.  I decided to fussy cut the flowers rather than using the co-ordinating elle-ments on this occasion although I did use them them to cut out the little bud images.  I added little droplets of diamond glaze (you could also use Glossy Accents) to the centres of the flowers – I love how it looks like dew!

 

 

 

To create the frame I used another brand new product, Pierced Mat Elle-ments (together with our popular Double Pierced Rectangles Elle-ments).  These are so versatile – you can create frames, mats, apertures etc.  I love them!

Supplies used:

I created another card and this time paired it with some of our older products that i thought needed some love!  I stamped some of the images from our Butterflies stamp set in Versamark and heat embossed them using Avery Elle Fine Pure White Embossing Powder.  I coloured them with Zig Clean Colour Markers and gave them a slight “aura” using a great marker to make them just pop a little.  I created the mat using a combination of Pierced Rectangles and Dotted Borders Elle-ments.


Supplies used:

Phew – that was a long post!!  If you’re still with me – THANK YOU!  Now you need to pop along to my wonderful friend and teamie, Heather to see what delights she has in store using the new release.  Happy Hopping!!

Avery Elle … Sentimental Too

12.06.2017 by Leave a Comment

One of my favourite stamp and die sets from Avery Elle Stamps last year was the Sentimental collection.  What a fantastic concept – I have used both the stamps and dies many times on my cards.  Well this year we have Sentimental Too!  An additional collection of amazing sentiments in the same gorgeous style as the first batch.  I’ve paired it here with a set I designed for the latest release, Floral Bouquet and I think it is a match made in heaven!

sentimental too
