Avery Elle … Hoppy Easter

Hello, I’m here today with a cute little card using the Hoppy Easter stamp set.  Don’t let the teeny size of this set fool you – you can create some gorgeous, festive scenes like I have here.

I started with a 4-bar sized card (31/2 by 4 7/8″) and cut a small panel of yellow card for the front which I splattered with white paint (Distress stain in Picket Fence).  Meanwhile I blended some Distress Oxide inks onto some white card and then die cut a frame using Wonky Scalloped Frames which I adhered to the front of the card.

I stamped the images in Fog Dye Ink and then coloured them using pastel shades of Copics blending them on the egg to give a pretty pastel rainbow effect.  Once they were die cut I arranged them on the front of the card and finished by stamping my sentiment in Fog and adding a fluffy bunny tail using a teeny white pom pom

Avery Elle … Gifted (with video)

Hey there, here today with a couple of ideas for using the GIFTED stamp set along with the Party Tags Elle-ments and a few other gorgeous products from the latest release.

I created a wee video to show how this first project came together.  The idea sprang from seeing a big bag of carrot gummies on Amazon, lol!  I had some cone shaped treat bags in my stash, Mermaid Hemp Twine and some gorgeous green silk ribbon I saved from a Christmas gift so thought this would make a sweet Easter or Spring themed gift!

I created a little scene using some images from the Beary Good Friends set and some masking – how cute is that bunny?  As usual I had to give that bunny tail some dimension so I used the Neon Amplify product which puffs up when you heat it (would be great for snow scenes too I think!)

Here’s another tag, this time using one of the images from the Sunflowers stamp set and some pretty yellow grosgrain ribbon.

I wanted the heart to sit under the “made with” part of the sentiment so I simply snipped the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors to separate it!

Avery Elle … Peek-a-Boo Pals: Jungle

Well HELLO there Avery Elle fans!  Today I’m excited to share a card using the fabulous PEEK-A-BOO JUNGLE PALS stamp set and to show you how I paired it with some other amazing new products from the Spring 2020 release.
I just love these peek-a-boo critters – every one of them is so cute and I just love how all the sets can co-ordinate.  So clever.
I started with a white card base and blended some pigment inks (Lemongrass and Jungle) onto it.  I splattered some white paint and set it aside to dry.
Next I blended some JungleLemongrass and Celery pigment inks onto some card and then die cut it using the Leafy Frames die.  I adhered this to the card base using foam tape.

I stamped, coloured (Copics) and die cut the jungle pals and for my sentiment I used the Loads of Happy set.  I die cut the skinny “Happy” die and added some touches of colour then adhered it to the card.  I went over it with Crystal Effects to give it some glossy dimension and finished by stamping the birthday block stamp in Jungle pigment ink.
