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!

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!

Inspiration from Chunyuan and Melania

Hello!  Today I have some projects created by Melania Deasy and Chunyuan Wu to share with you.

Melania used our Numbered Balloons stamps and dies, Bookmark dies, Furry Friends Stamps and Dies, Pinked Dies, Finished Frames Dies for the stars, The Jewel Collection Paper Pad, The Harvest Collection Paper Pad, and The Everyday Collection Paper Pad to create this first card and bookmark set.  I love how cute these are!! Those dogs look perfect "holding" the balloons. 

Chunyuan Wu used our Tea Time stamp set to create this next bright and cheerful card.  I love the way the images are stamped in an oval on the front of the card. 

Chunyuan used our recently retired Air Mail stamp set, Love Notes stamp set, and Brights collection paper along with our Fly By stamp and die set for this next card.  

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

Happy 13th & Hip HIp Hooray

Hello!  I hope that everyone's week is going well so far.  Today I have some really cute cards to share with you.  JJ Bolton created this first card using our Numbered Balloons stamp and dies and our Fill In The Blank Word dies.  I love how JJ created a shaker window out of the happy die in that set.  It is clean, simple and so fun!

Heather Campbell used our Dotted dies along with our Ellie stamp set to create this next card.  I love how she created a circle focal point using some blended ink behind the cute elephant.  

On the inside of the card Heather used our Pinked and Gift Card dies to attach a gift card.  I love Heather's idea to use these two dies together!  The gift card looks like a pretty package tied up in twine! 

Thank you JJ and Heather for the fabulous inspiration.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Celebrate & Made With Love

Hello and Happy Friday!  Are you ready for the weekend?  I sure am!  How about a little inspiration to get us going....

Katie Gehring created this first card using our Bunting stamp set.  I love how she took one simple image from the set and stamped it repeatedly to create the festive background.  She used a Dotted die cut to anchor the sentiment.  This card is so striking and lovely!!

Karolyn Loncon created this next card using our Made With Love stamp set, Pinked Elle-Ments dies and Sea Glass card stock.  I love that Karolyn embossed the image and sentiment in gold.  It is just gorgeous and plays off the soft color of the card stock so well.  This is just fantastic!

Thanks so much Karolyn and Katie for sharing with us today.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Cute Inspiration by Katie & Karolyn

Hello and Happy Friday!  Today I have some cute projects to share with you. 

I also wanted to let you know that I will be at Stamp Fever in Orange, CA on Saturday, November 1st from 10:30am - 1:30pm.  We will be making this cute holiday card using our Noel stamp set and I would love it if you stopped by to visit, craft & chat.

Katie Gehring used our Boo stamp set,  Fizz and New Moon cardstock and our Pinked Elle-ments die to create these Spider Ring cards.  She cut a slit in the Fizz cardstock and slipped in a spider ring onto it.  Aren't these the perfect non-candy treat for school?  What an inexpensive and terrific idea!

Karolyn Loncon created this creative graduation card using our Look Up stamp set.  I love the way the graduation cap looks on the balloon.   We don't have a die for the graduation cap but you could cut one out of cardstock and add a bit of twine for the tassel.  It is so cute!

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

Day 4 of Authentique and Avery Elle week

It's Day 4 of Authentique and Avery Elle week!  This week the Avery Elle design team is playing with Authentique papers, Life Cards and embellishments.  After visiting here, be sure to check out the Authentique Blog for even more inspiration!  We have a fabulous prize up for grabs so be sure to comment on our blogs throughout to week to be entered to win!

JJ Bolton used our Modern Leaves dies and stamps along with papers from Authentique's Favorite collection to create this fun card.  I love the way that JJ added vellum to the card to create some texture and interest.  It is so cool!

Heather Campbell used our Pinked die set and Simply Said Love stamp and dies along with a card base from Authentique's Harmony Card Making Stack to create this sweet card! I just love it!

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

Inspiration from JJ & Heather

Today I have three fun projects to share with you.  JJ Bolton created this first card using our Brushed stamp set and Simply Said Hello die.  I love the repetition and simplicity!

This next card by JJ is a modern take on a birthday card.  I adore how the bold brush strokes compliment the gold sentiment.  By curving the Brushed stamps on her acrylic block, JJ shows how you can create a variety of looks with these brush stroke images. 

 Heather Campbell created this card using our Pinked dies, Storybook stamp set and Custom Panels die.  She used the curved die that is included in Custom Panels to create the hill that the deer is standing on.   I love it!

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

Bottle It Up and Cake & Candles

We have our guest designer Karolyn and our very own Maska with us today with these amazing projects.

I love how Maska used our Bottle It Up and Laurels stamps and dies on this layout. They frame the picture perfectly!

 Karolyn created this card using our Cake & Candles stamp set.  I love how she turned the sentiment into a cake itself.  So clever!  The candles from our Cupcakes stamp set look terrific on the top and it all looks great mounted on a die cut from our Pinked Elle-ments die.

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