Hello & You've Got This

Today I have three great projects by JJ Bolton and Heather Campbell to share with you. 

 JJ's first card uses our Avery's Alphas dies to create the word hello and our Custom Panel die to create the hill.  She added texture to the letters using the woodgrain stamp from our Woodgrain & More stamp set. So fun!

I love this next card that JJ created.  She used the same products as the card above- Avery's Alphas dies, Custom Panels dies and the cross hatch stamp from Woodgrain & More - to come up with a completely different project.  I love the bold and modern look!  She shows that these sets can easily be used to create many different looks.

Heather used our Brushed stamp set to create this next card.  I love how she used our pigment inks to create the pretty striped background.  The enamel dots she used are a perfect finishing touch!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Two AMAZING projects!!

I am so excited because I get to share two amazing projects with you today.   Melania Deasy created this sweet set of cards and gift tag using our Red & Goldie, Build A Banner and Suzani stamp sets.  I just adore how cute these little guys look!!!   I could gaze at these all day!!

Maska created this layout using our Needle Little Love and Written In The Stars stamp sets.  See those cute "hills" along the page and the label at the top center?  She made them using our new Custom Panels die set.  She shows how versatile this die set is.  It is great for cards, scrapbook pages, project life albums and more!

I told you that today's projects were amazing!!!  These ladies are so talented - actually our entire design team is! We are SO lucky!  Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Inspiration from Kasia & Chunyuan

Today I have some cute cards to share with you that were created by Kasia Curry & Chunyuan Wu.

Kasia used our Weather It stamp set to create this first card.  I love how she used the fox from Red & Goldie and sentiment from Aim High.  I never thought of combining these sets!  This is sure to cheer someone up!

Chunyuan used our Write It stamp set to create this fun card.  I love how she paired the sentiment with the "&" from our Count On It set.  So clever!

I love how Chunyuan repeated the pen image to create a fun border behind the sentiment in this next card!

I also wanted to announce the winners of the Mary Arts, UmWowStudio and Avery Elle blog hop last week.  They are Amy C., Carol Doggett , Rebecca Ednie,

Caryn created this first card using our Red and Goldie & Woodgrain & More stamp sets.  I adore that little fox peeking his head out to say hello!  So clever!

Caryn combined our Red & Goldie and Brushed stamp sets to created this fun card.  I love the color combinations and the brush stroke background.

Yainea created this adorable card using the deer and butterfly images from Storybook and the trees from Let It Snow.  I love the shading of inks and soft color pallete she used.  It is just gorgeous!
