Avery Elle … Quirky Christmas

Hey there, I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today  with a collection of cards I created using a fun set that I designed for Avery Elle called Quirky Christmas.  This set of 4 cards were whipped up in no time using just a few supplies and go to show that you can create very different looks using just one stamp set and some essential dies.  Each card starts with a 4 bar sized white base with a simple, festive colour palette and a few enamel dot embellishments to finish.  I gathered a few fabulous Avery Elle dies, Cherry Pigment Ink and New Moon Dye Ink.  I picked a fresh, green card stock from my stash to complement the red for a traditional Christmas feel.  However, ANY colour scheme would work equally well!

I laid all five of the tree stamps from the set onto my MISTI stamping tool and inked them all up together using Cherry pigment ink.  I stamped 3 times to get a good, even coverage.  I then ran them through my Gemini Junior die cutting machine and die cut them all at one – what a time saver! The supplies for each card are listed under the photos.

Hello –  I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a card created with the Peaceful Pines stamps and dies.  This is a great set for whipping up a simple yet elegant card in no time at all which is what we all need at this time of year!

I stared with a 4-bar sized card base in red and used the rectangle die from Focal Point Stripes to cut an aperture on the front.  I glued a white piece of card behind this and then stamped the pine branches in Jungle pigment ink.

Next I die cut the word Merry 3 times from the piece of card I cut from the card base, stacked them up and spritzed them with a little shimmer spray.

To finish I dug out my red and gold Stickles glitter glue and ran a gold edge around the window (totally stolen from Julie Ebersole!!) and some red dots to the berries.

Avery Elle … Corner Sentiments: Holliday

Hey there, I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today sharing a card and video showcasing the fabulous Corner Sentiments: Holiday stamp set.  I’ve paired it with a previously released set Holiday Bouquet.

Here’s a short video showing how this design came together:

I started with a white card base and die cut a frame in green using the Wonky Scalloped Frames die set.

Next I stamped the sentiment in the frame and stamped, coloured and die cut the images from Holiday Bouquet.
I added a wee bit of sparkle using Avery Elle Coarse Glitter to the berries and then assembled my coloured images onto the card front.
