I’m sharing a card today using Carolling Critters from Avery Elle. I should’ve posted this a few weeks ago but never got round to it – oops! I used the gorgeous Falling Snow die on this too – LOVE this die – so useful! I created the snowhills from the curved dies in Custom Panels – another great set of dies!
Thanks for stopping by.
Happy LEAP DAY everyone! Today I am sharing a card featuring one of the runaway success stories of the newest release from Avery Elle (to be fair, the whole release has been a runaway success – wow!). The Sentimental stamps and dies are probably one the most useful and unique sets on the market right now. It’s been suggested that I may need some sort of intervention over my heavy use of the Wonky Stitches die set (my most precious!!) but as I look at this Sentimental set – it may well be joining it!! I have paired the HUGS die (arguably my favourite from the set) with the STUUUUNNNING Canopy stamp set. I LOVE this stamp. It’s so pretty. I heat embossed the stamp in white and then used some Zig Clean Colour Markers to water colour inside. I love the bright, vibrant colour you get from the Zig markers – they are fantastic.
I used Aquamarine cardstock (from a trimmed down notecard) and die cut the hugs sentiment and a strip for layering behind my front panel. To add a delicate detail to the front of the panel I used the scalloped edge from the Dotted Border Dies – another essential in your die collection!!

Sorry I’m posting this a day late – it should’ve gone up yesterday! My pattern is still totally off since returning from CHA in Anaheim – this jet lag is really something else!! I can’t say I’m complaining though – I had the BEST time in the world. Meeting up and getting to know some of my other Avery Elle teamies was just amazing. Love those girls Jamie, Heather, Karolyn and Katie.
So onto today’s card. I’ve been playing with the cuter-than-all-get-out Viking set and I LOVE it. So fun to colour and at only $4 is a must-have!
How adorable is he?? This is a wee 4-bar sized card and I used the smaller Wonky Stitches frame on some woodgrain cardstock for my panel. He was coloured with Copics then mounted on foam tape. The hearts were stamped and cut using some red cardstock then I filled them in with a white gel pen.
Thanks for stopping by today.
