It is our June/July Release Blog Hop!!

**Our AEI♥U Challenge ends this Sunday.  Click here to play along to win a July Guest Designer Spot**

Avery Elle is turning one year old in June so this is a very special month for us.  We will be hosting fun activities on the blog throughout the month for all to enjoy.   To kick off the festivities, every stamp order placed through our website, www.averyelle.com, between now and June 30th will receive our Party Animal mini set for free (limit one set per customer)!  Please do not add this set to your shopping cart, it will be automatically added to every qualifying order.  We are so excited to celebrate with you!!

In addition to celebrating our birthday, we are now going to be releasing new products every other month.  We will still average the same amount of new product as we do now so no worries!  Our next release will take place at the end of July.   With this in mind, we are going to be featuring four of our eight new stamp sets this month during our hop and we will be featuring the other four sets during next month's hop with inspiration using all sets all month long!  Sweet!

I created this card using our new Ikat Additions clear photopolymer stamp set and a sentiment from Modern Leaves.  Ikat Additions is a great stamp set for those of you that want to try Ikat images without investing a lot of money or those who LOVE Ikat and want even more fun pattern making options!  I used Versafine Smokey Gray and Fresh Ink Silver Lilac ink on our Speckled heavy cardstock.  I just love the combination.

Let's get to the hop shall we?

We have a very special Guest Designer on our hop this month.  Jennifer Rzasa won our June Guest Designer Challenge and I am thrilled that she is joining us. I know that she is going to be such an inspiration.
