Avery Elle – Fall Release Blog Hop

AEBlogHopBadge

Hello again!  Wow – what a busy week I’m having here on my wee blog.  I’m back today with another exciting post as part of the Avery Elle Fall Release Blog Hop!!  This new release from Avery Elle is HUGE and it’s AWESOME!  There is at least one stamp set or die to suit just about EVERYONE!  Not to mention 6 stunning new ink colours and a fantastic 6×6 paper pad which I just love.

My card today features an amazing set call Fabulous Florals designed by my lovely and talented friend Heather Campbell.  She has 3 stamp sets and co-ordinating dies in this release and you’re going to love every one.

Fabulous FloralsI first masked of a strip across my card panel with Post- It tape and then stamped one of the open leaves in Hero Arts Field Greens shadow ink randomly above and below the masked section.  I created a couple of masks of the leaves and then stamped another of the open leaves in Orange Soda and Butter bar Shadow inks to fill up the areas above and blow the tape.  I then coloured the leaves using various Copics to add shadows and definition to the leaves.  I outlined the leaf clusters with a pale gray Copic (not sure if I like that bit though!!).

I removed the Post-It tape from across the panel and the added some spatters of gold using Heidi Swapp Shimmer Spray.  Once that had dried I then heat embossed the Thank You sentiment in gold and finished with some jute twine tied around the panel.  Finally I mounted the panel on a kraft A2 card base.

So now you off you pop to Heather’s blog and check out her STUNNING creation.  The full running order of the blog hop is below – in case you get lost!!!

I had the great pleasure of playing with the Mini Perfect Layers rulers and I must say – I LOVE them!  They are a handy size for card makers to.  I used them to create my mats for may card below.

Have you tried the new Avery Elle paper pads too?  I used them to paper piece my camera from #Smile – they are such a delight to use and co-ordinate with the ink and card colours too – RESULT!!!

Avery Elle Summer Release Blog Hop!

THIS IS MY SECOND POST OF THE DAY

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY CLEARLY BESOTTED DAY 4 SNEAKY PEAKS!

AEBlogHopBadge

Hi there, if you’re hip-hopping along on the Avery Elle Blog Hop then you should have arrived here from the awesome Chunyan’s blog.  If you’re just popping in but want to join in with the hop then go back to the start HERE! Right – down to business – today we’re sharing designs using some of the new products available in the AMAZING Summer 2014 release from Avery Elle.  My little heart skipped a beat when I saw all the fabulous designs we were being given to work with.  What’s on your wishlist?  Everything I bet!!

Many thanks

Today I’m featuring the gorgeous Many Thanks stamp set:

ST1417AveryElleManyThanksStamp

Don’t you LOVE all those different fonts and sentiments?!  I also absolutely adore the little diamond image too – I’m going to get a TON of use out that!  I’ve been big and brave and cut the diamond apart from the sentiment to give me even more options!!   I used the masking technique to make my diamond border and stamped them using Memento London Fog ink on a white panel.  I cut around the border and then filled in the facets of the diamond using a quickie glue pen and then added the Prisma glitter – happy sigh!!  I stamped the greeting in the bottom corner and then mounted the panel on the card base.  I was going to stop there but felt it was just a little TOO CAS so I took the little trio of stars from the Party Animal set and stamped them in a trail across the top half of the card – adding a few tiny gems for extra sparkle!! Right – you better get on your way to the next stop on the hippity hop!  HEATHER CAMPBELL has something FABULOUS in store for you over on her blog – ENJOY!!

Here’s all the details just as a reminder!!
