Caring Hearts Card Drive (and prizes)

 

Have you heard about the Caring Hearts Card Drive that the fabulous Vera Yates from http://lingshappyplace.blogspot.com is running this year?

If you are interested in making a difference this holiday season this may just be the perfect thing for you!  The drive collects cards for the elderly who live in nursing homes and miss/can't be with their families this holiday season.  Not only can you brighten someone's day, but you can earn prizes from Avery Elle and other great companies at the same time.  You can check out more information here.

Important Details:

• This card drive will be going on until November 30, 2012. Vera will need to receive your cards by November 30, 2012.
•  Please make the cards for Christmas or Holiday Wishes. Anyone can send a card, your children, church group, scout troops, etc.
• All cards need to have a message in it (can be stamped or handwritten or both).  
• Please sign your name and where you are from. 
• Please don't seal the envelope.
• Please stick to just cards (all size welcome)
• And please don't use any pins (safety reason).
• You can mail the cards to:

                        Vera Yates
                        P.O Box 19158
                       Sugar Land, TX 77496

• In each package, PLEASE include a piece of paper with your name, address, email address and how many cards you sent.  This helps Vera keep track for prizes! For each card you send, you will get a chance.  So the more cards you send, the better your chances.

I hope that you are having a great week and consider participating in this great effort!

Spotted-Fanfare!

Happy Thursday everyone!  I wanted to share some more amazing projects using stamps from our latest release.  Check out Donna's beautiful cards using our Fanfare stamp set.  I just love how she stamped the pattern two different ways, vertically in white on dark card stock and horizontally in a bright color.  It makes the cards feel so modern and fun!  For more details, check out here blog post here.

 

I hope that you are having a great week!  Thanks for stopping by to take a peek!

Spotted - Fanfare!

Well that didn't take very long!  Check out the card that Melissa posted in our flickr group using our newest stamp set, Fanfare.  I love how she used the border strip to make waves for that adorable fish!  It doesn't get much cuter than this!

Hello Cameo Spotlight Challenge!!

First of all let me wish everyone a Happy Card Making Day!  I hope that you are having a great one so far!

 

Today I am so excited because Avery Elle is sponsoring this week's Cameo Spotlight Challenge.  The winner will receive a $15 credit to our store, www.averyelle.com .  How awesome is that?!?

This challenge is a perfect fit for Avery Elle since we offer free digital cut files for all of our image stamp sets.... Yes, I did say free.  This week Jackie has challenged participants to create a project using their Silhouette Cameo machines and the color scheme shown in the graphic above.  I thought it would be fun to play along.  I used our Ultra Smooth Pure White, Mimosa, Papaya, Fizz & Cherry card stock colors along with our Bright Days and Framed Fonts stamp set.

Good luck to everyone that enters.  I can't wait to see what you come up with.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!  We hope that you have enjoyed our October Release Week.  Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and support.  It has really made our week!  Here are some final projects that the Design Team has created with our newest clear photopolymer stamp sets.

Look at what Chunyuan did with our To The Point set.  I absolutely love how she stamped the border strip once and stamped the rest of the chevrons overlapping it.  This is perfect in every way!

JJ created this amazing card with our To The Point and Bright Days stamp sets. I adore the bright and fun color combination.  Check out the little details she included like the matching bakers twine - Love it!

Heather created this beautiful card using stamps from Picture It and To The Point.  The monochromatic stripes and chevrons are the perfect modern combination!!  Be sure to check out her blog for more details.

Kasia created this pretty card using our Fanfare, Picture It and To The Point stamp sets.  I love how she used the small bow from our Fanfare set to create this cute background.  I can see doing this for wedding & baby cards as well.  Too fun!

Avery Elle October Release - To The Point

Welcome back to Day 2 of Avery Elle's October Release Week.  If you have just stumbled upon this blog, you may want to go to this post here to start at the beginning of the festivities.  Over the next 2 days we will be featuring projects made by our AMAZING design team and showcasing our latest release.  We have 2 new stamp sets and 3 new colors of heavy card stock and grosgrain ribbon that will be available for purchase in our store, www.averyelle.com, on October 4th.  Don't forget to check the bottom of this post for our latest giveaway to celebrate the festivities.

Today we are featuring a new 4" x 6" clear photopolymer stamp set called To The Point that will retail for $15.  I absolutely love the versatility of this set.  The border strip measures:  5/8" x 5 1/2"; The large banners measure:  1 3/8" x 1 3/4"; The chevron banner measures: 2 3/8" x 7/8"; The Just A Note sentiment measures:7/8" x 1/2"

Be sure to check out what our design team has done with this fabulous new set on their blogs below.

In this first card, I used a Celery card stock base, coordinating Celery grosgrain ribbon and October Afternoon patterned paper.  I stamped the banner image onto Ultra Smooth Pure White card stock along with the Just a Note sentiment. All of the sentiments in the set will fit into any of the banner images....Love that!

This next card was created using our Celery and Ultra Smooth Pure White heavy card stock.  I stamped the border strip to create a star-like image and filled the pattern in using the small arrow blocks included in this set.  I really do love the graphic look I was able to achieve.  After adding the Make a Wish sentiment, I decide to bling the card up a bit using scor-tape and Martha Stewart glitter.   I see bold snowflakes using this same layout in my future.

This next card features the chevron banner included in the set.  I mimicked the banner shape using Echo Park patterned papers to balance the card.  This is my version of the neon trend that is so popular right now.  I have to admit that I have never been into neon - not even the first time it was popular.  I realize that these colors aren't exactly neon, but I think that they reflect the 80s.  All in all, this was a different look for me and it was good for me to get out of my comfort zone.

In this project, I stamped the border strip and arrow blocks on our Ultra Smooth Pure White card stock to create a pattern using two different oranges, two different yellows and a pink.  I love the results and how it looks against the Fizz card stock base.

I used the same stamped pattern from above and cut the strips vertically in half.  I then lined them up to form a smaller pattern on the card below.  I have to admit that I absolutely love our new grey card stock, Fog, being released this month.  I had a hard time not using it on EVERY project!!

In honor of our Release Week, we will be giving away a $25 gift certificate to our store.

Today we are featuring a new 4" x 6" clear photopolymer stamp set called Fanfare that will retail for $15.  The border strip measures:  7/8" from tip to tip x 5.5"; The circle image measures:  1 5/8" radius; The cake stand measures: 1 1/4" x 2"; The Happy sentiment measures: 1 1/4" x 3/8"

There are many sentiment combinations that can be made with this set.  They include: Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday From Us, Happy Birthday To You, So Happy For You, Happy Everything, You Make Me Happy, Happy Anniversary

We are also releasing a beautiful red heavy card stock and coordinating 5/8" grosgrain ribbon in Cherry.

For this first card I used the border strip to stamp the fan background in a soft grey.  I stamped the cake stand and one layer of "cake" onto the coordinating die cut.  I stamped the sentiment, added some twine, and taped the layers onto the Fog card stock base.  I thought the small strip of New Moon card stock grounded the cake image nicely.

I stamped the same border strip to frame the center panel of this card in a bold red.  I wanted to show how you can create soft and bold designs using the same stamp.  I added the circle image and So Happy For You sentiment to finish off the card.  The ribbon and card stock base is our new color Cherry.  I love the color of this bright and cheery red.

I created these last two projects for a friend's birthday.  I slipped a small gift into a glassine bag and wrapped it with some patterned paper (Crate Paper) and Celery Grosgrain Ribbon. I was pleased how adding the simple circle image and Happy Birthday sentiment finished off the look.  I then created the card using the same patterned paper, Celery card stock and coordinating grosgrain ribbon.  I stamped the two-tiered cake image on the coordinating die cut and added the sentiment and bow image to finish the look.

In honor of our Release Week, we will be giving away a $25 gift certificate to our store.
