aechibibloghopbanner

Avery Elle and Chibitronics are pairing up for a fun collaboration today.  Chibitronics has products that we can use to easily illuminate our  cards, paper crafts, textiles, and more.  They are so cool!  Be sure to check out their website for videos, tutorials, examples and templates.

We are giving away one Chibitronics STEM Starter Kit as well.   Just comment on this post or one of the design team members posts by Midnight, PST October 9th to be entered to win.  There is no purchase necessary and you must be 18 years of age or older to enter.  This giveaway is void where prohibited.  Winner will be announced on the Avery Elle blog on Monday, October 10th.

You should have arrived here from the awesome blog of Karolyn Loncon – I bet you LOVED her amazing card!  I have another cool, interactive card to share with you and MAN was it fun to make!  I’m not going to lie, when I first saw the Chibi Tronics box I was nervous (I spent most of my Physics lessons at school crying in the back row praying it would all be over soon)!!  I needn’t have been worried – these kits are super easy to use and when that little light goes on it’s so exciting!  I brought together a few stamp and die sets to create this card (listed below).  I thought the little bobble on the end of the cat’s hat would be the idea place for a light to go.  Fun or WHAT??!

Hi there.  It’s Anything Goes week this week so I’ve gone with yet another Christmas card (not making much else at the moment!!).  I love the little ice skates from the Flakes N Skates die collection from Spellbinders.  I love how the dies don’t just cut but emboss too.  I kept the die cut in place after I cut it and used a sponge dauber to add the Fog ink too so it’s a stencil on top of everything – how cool!!  I recently picked up this new Penny Black die – Winter Garland and think I’m going to get quite a bit of use out of it – I love it!  For my sentiment I dug out the Avery Elle Season’d Greetings die – it’s such a great size!

Avery Elle – Hanging Banners/Happy Home

Hey there.  I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a festive little card using the gorgeous Happy Home dies and Hanging Banners stamps and dies.  I started with a 5″ square card and created my little holiday home using wood effect card layered up with all the little Christmassy elements.  I used the string of lights from Retro Ornaments to add some extra festiveness!!  A few little blobs of Glossy Accents in the right places adds some more sparkle and shine.
