Avery Elle – You’re Invited

Hello – I’m here today with a cheerful birthday invitation using the You’re Invited die from Avery Elle.  This sunshine yellow and aquamarine colour combo is so fresh – I love these two colours together!  I used papers from the Everyday and Brights collections and die cut some balloons  and simply added some twine for the strings.  A simple, and easy to mass-produce party invitation which would be good for a girl or a boy!
you are invited

Don’t forget it’s almost time for the brand a Avery Elle release – all the fabulous products revealed at the January CHA show will be available to purchase on 26th Feb – save the date and be sure to join us on an awesome blog hop to celebrate!!

Thanks for popping by.

I’m loving the smaller scale of these little 4-bar sized cards I’ve been making recently – they’re so cute!  For my interpretation of the challenge I looked to the smallest creatures of all – microbes!  In a previous life I obtained a degree in microbiology so this stamp set, Healthy Vibes from Paper Smooches is really quite appropriate!!  I stamped each of the bugs onto a sheet of gorgeous Taylored Expressions paper from the new Rainbow Brights paper pack and fussy cut them out.  I then took the Borders 1 dies and cut my white front card panel across the bottom third with one of the dies (the heartbeat one – no idea of the technical name??).  With a strip of one of the other papers from the same pack I placed it behind the gap.  I then simply stamped the greeting and popped the little bugs onto the front with foam adhesive and added some googly eyes – for which I never need an excuse!!!

all creatures great and small

 

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
 
You have until Wed  8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in

Avery Elle – Thank You Die

Hello – I’m popping today with a card I created using the gorgeous Thank You die from Avery Elle.  I absolutely adore the font style and size of this die – it makes the perfect focal point on a card.

Thank you

I used Avery Elle smooth white card for my card base and cut a strip of patterned paper from the Avery Elle Everyday paper pad.  I cut a narrower strip of co-ordinating paper from the same collection and adhered them onto the card front.  One of the flag shapes from the Dotted Elle-ments set was cut from vellum and adhered onto the layered paper strips.  The Thank You was cut from white cardstock and glued in place over the vellum which also helps hold it in place so no glue is visible.  I finished it all off with some twine and a few Doodlebug sprinkles in silver glitter.

Remeber to visit the Avery Elle design blog every day for lots of amazing creations from the rest of the team.  Also, a date for your diary … the CHA release will be available on 26th February.  Can’t wait to start sharing my designs with you!
