Avery Elle, May Arts and UmWowStudio week!

This week the Avery Elle design team is playing with some ribbon from May Arts and fun products from UmWowStudio.

When I saw the little packet of wooden stars from UmWowStudio I thought of making a shaker card but when my first attempt failed disastrously, I changed tack a wee bit and decided to just fill the whole space with stars!  I embossed one of the larger stars in gold just to add a little bit of extra bling!  The wired “ribbon” from May Arts was glued in place with little dots of glossy accents.

To keep the “wood” theme going I stamped the woodgrain stamp from Woodgrain and More in Fog pigment ink and sponged a little extra around the edges.  I also die cut the Hello die from a sheet of 1mm double-sided foam adhesive and added a die-cut of the same in white on top. I love the way it gives dimension to the whole word as opposed to trying to place lots of tiny little squares of foam My fellow teamie, the gorgeous Yainea has another amazing creation on her blog today too so make sure you check it out.

Be sure to check out the Avery Elle Blog all this week for projects using May Arts ribbon and UmWowStudio products.

Avery Elle – Storybook

I am proud to be showcasing my favourite set from the current release over at Avery ElleStorybook.  It was designed by the gorgeous and very sweet Heather Campbell and features the cutest little critters ever!  I have three cards to share today so I’ll get on with it shall I?

I know this set has been extremely popular since it was released and I am not at all surprised.  Heather has created such a special set and I am thrilled everyone loves it as much as I do!

Well, I better get myself off to bed – can’t handle these late nights any more (must be getting old!!).

Avery Elle – Brushed

Hey all and Happy Easter Monday!  I hope you’re enjoying a glorious bank holiday wherever you are.  All being well I should be relaxing with the family and enjoying something nice and chilled on a beach in Wales!  I’m scheduling this post so hope I’m not tempting fate!!

Today I’m over on the Avery Elle design blog sharing a few cards I’ve made with the fabulous new Brushed set.  Watercolour effects are everywhere at the moment and so this super-trendy set is perfect for getting the painted look without the mess!!

The cards also showcase just how gorgeous the new Avery Elle pigment inks are – the colours are just beautiful.
