Hello and Happy Friday!  Are you ready for the weekend? We sure are.  We have spent all of this week getting ready for our new release next Thursday, June 4th.  We can finally start showing you the 12 new stamp sets and 22 new dies sets starting next Monday! Woo Hoo!  In the meantime, why don't I share three cards from some of our fabulous Design Team Members!

Katie created this first card using our Ellie stamps and dies, patterned paper from our Sorbet Collection Paper Pad and our Dotted Borders Elle-ments die all on a Caribbean A2 Top Folding Note Card.  I love how simple yet adorable this is! 

Karolyn used our Furry Friends stamp & die set, our Gift Tags dies, our Dotted Borders dies, New Moon, Fog, Papaya Ink and a Silver Fox A2 Top Folding Note Card to create this next cute card.  I love how the paw prints trail along the card base!  Too cute!

Heather created this last card using our Homemade stamps and dies, Finished Frames dies, flowers from This Book and a sentiment from our Oh Baby stamp set.   This is such a great non-traditional baby card.  I love how sweet this is.

Thanks so much Katie, Karolyn and Heather for sharing with us today.  Thank you for stopping by to take a peek!  I hope to see you Monday for our Summer Release previews!  Have a great weekend!

Loads of Inspiration!

I have loads of inspiration to share with you today!

Maska created a cute coaster set using our Tea Time stamp set and dies.  I just love how colorful and fun these are!!  The different cups look so cute lined up!

JJ created a card using the same Tea Time stamp set and added Alice from our Alice & Friends stamp set popping out of the cup.  This is just so cute and coordinates with the sentiment perfectly!

JJ also created this next card using our Party Bunny and Balloon dies and a sentiment from our Cake & Candles stamp set.  I love how she added the detail with a white gel pen.  This is a fantastic way to get even more use out of these dies!

Thanks JJ & Maska for sharing with us today.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Four Projects & A Goodbye

Hello. Today I have four amazing projects to share with you and some news.  

This first card by Chunyuan Wu is so pretty.  I love the way she paper pieced the bouquet image from our Get Well stamp set on top of patterned paper from our Zen Collection.  Isn't it pretty?  It just love it.  

Sadly, this is Chunyuan's last post for the Avery Elle Design Team.  I will always be so grateful that she took a chance on Avery Elle almost three years ago when no one had heard of us and we had just 4 stamp sets.  I am so lucky to have been able to work with her these last three years and wish her nothing but the best.  Be sure to follow her over on her blog, www.dahliamemories.blogspot.com to see what she will be up to next!!  Thank you Chunyuan for everything!

Melania Deasy created this next card and bookmark using our This Book stamp set, Bookmark die set, Elle's Alphas Clear Stamps, Laurel Clear Stamps, and Alice & Friends Clear Stamps ( the ribbon ).  I just love how adorable these owls look on top of the stack of books and that ink shading is simply gorgeous!

Melania also created this next card using our Get Well stamp and die set, Pinked Elle-ments dies, and a Caribbean Collection A2 Folded Card.  I just love how the yellow, blues, gold and green pop against the navy background!

Thanks Chunyuan and Melania for sharing with us today.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Amazing & Humble Pie

Hello!  I have two great purple cards by Caryn and Yainea to share with you today.

Caryn created this first card using our Amazing stamp set, Furry Friends stamps and dies, our Royal Collection Top Folding note card and our Jewel Collection patterned paper pad.  I love how fun and cute this is!

Loads of Inspiration from Heather & JJ

Today I have FOUR great cards to share with you.  I just love this first card by JJ.  The plane and skywriting from our Fly By stamp and die set in front of that sky is so fun!

JJ created this next card using our This Book stamp set.  I love that little owl peeking out! I also love how JJ personalized this bookmark using our Avery's Alphas dies, Bookmark die and patterned paper from our The Brights Collection.  What a great gift set!



Heather used our Tea Time stamps and dies to create these next two cards.  Our You're Invited die, Pinked die and patterned paper from our Everyday Collection on the first card look great layered together!

With a bit of masking Heather was able to create a softer feel using Tea Time with our Pinked and Dotted dies.  I love it!

Thanks for sharing Heather and JJ.  You guys rock!  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!
