Happy New Year & More!

Hello and happy New Year's Eve!  All of us here at Avery Elle wish you a Happy & Healthy New Year!  Today I have some fantastic projects to share with you.

Maska used our Just a Note and Dotted Dies to create these two notebooks.  This cute sentiment is a perfect way to customize a notebook for yourself or your favorite person!  These are so cool!

It has been such a treat to have our December guest designer, Nina Ostermann, with us this month.  She created this last project for us using our Brushed stamped set, Simply Said Happy die and Words Fill In The Blank Die.  It is a very happy card indeed!

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

Maska & Our December Guest Designer Nina!!

Hello!  Today I have the pleasure of introducing our December guest designer, Nina Ostermann.  When you stop by her blog, http://www.ninasblog-scrapmama.blogspot.com/, you will see that she creates gorgeous and fun projects! I adore her style and we are in for a treat this month!  We are so luck that both Nina and Maska will be featured each Wednesday on the Avery Elle blog this month.  Let's get to the projects shall we?!

Maska created this layout and fun background using our new Bunting stamps and dies.  I love the way the buntings look strung together.  So festive and perfect for a birthday party theme!  By stamping the small sentiments included in this set in multiples around the picture, Maska is able to create a pretty focal point.  I love it!

In the midst of the new release last week I forgot to post one of Nina's projects so I have two for you today.  She created this first card using our Brushed stamp set, Simply Said Happy Die and Words Fill In The Blank die.  I love the combination of the three different happy styles!  The color combination is just gorgeous too!

Nina created this next card using our Joy To The World stamp set.  I love way the silver globe looks with the red, white and blue color scheme.  The layers add so much texture and are just beautiful.  Be sure to check out Nina's blog for more details.

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

Inspiration from Heather, JJ & A Great Cause

Hello!  Today Heather Campbell & JJ Bolton have two fabulous cards to share with us.  

Heather created this first card by using our Joy To The World stamps & dies on a Finished Frames panel.  I love how pretty this globe is. A card like this is exactly what I envisioned when I illustrated this stamp set.  Love that!

JJ used our Be Jolly stamps, Simply Said Happy die & stamps and our Custom Panels die for the snow drifts on this next card.  I love how cute the snowmen look on either side of the sentiment.  JJ shows how our Custom Panels dies have SO many uses!  I just love the shape of these snow drifts.

I also wanted to let you know about a great event that our friends Vera Yates and Jennifer McGuire are hosting this year.  The holidays are just around the corner, filled with opportunities to celebrate with family and friends. But during this special season, many of the elderly who live in nursing homes may be alone and missing their families. Wouldn’t it be awesome to bring smiles to their faces and brighten their holidays? That’s what the Caring Hearts Card Drive is all about! This wonderful card drive is hosted by Vera Yates and Jennifer McGuire and is in its 5^th year of collecting holiday cards to send to the elderly in nursing homes. And we here at Avery Elle are so proud to sponsor this worthwhile effort! 

Please join us in spreading cheer this holiday season with the Caring Hearts Card Drive! Click Here for all the details, including what to send and where to send it. Note: All cards must be received by November 28, 2014.

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

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Wednesday.  I hope that everyone is having a great week so far!  Today I have the privilege of sharing this card that Maska created with our Simply Said Happy stamps and dies.  Maska is known to create fabulously layered scrapbook pages and she uses that same technique to create this fun Father's Day card.   There is so much attention to detail!  I love that!

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

Happy Birthday with JJ and Heather

Happy Thursday!  Today I have two birthday cards to share with you.  Heather Campbell created this first card using our Simply Said Happy and Balloons stamp and die sets.  I love the gold accents along with all of the colorful balloons.  Heather's card showcases our pretty ink pad colors.  I love it.

JJ Bolton created this next card using our So Happy stamp set, Gift Tags and Custom Panels dies and The Brights Collection patterned papers.  JJ shows how easy it is to create a cohesive look using our inks and coordinating paper pads!

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

Two Watercolor Cards

Today I have two bright and cheerful watercolor cards to share with you.   Chunyuan used our Simply Said Happy stamps and dies on this first card.  I love the watercolor background.  The sequins and circle images from our Many Thanks stamp set are a terrific accent on this fun card.

Kasia embossed the THX sentiment from our Many Thanks stamp set on this watercolor background.  I love the way that she let the bold letters take center stage.  I am always looking for good single layer card ideas and this one is right up my alley!

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

New Color Coordinating Patterned Paper Packs & More!

Today I get to share two fabulous projects with you and introduce a new product line that will be available for purchase starting tomorrow!

Kasia created this cool card using our Simply Said Happy Stamp and Die set.  I love how she stamped the word happy over and over to create a fun focal point.  Do you see the polka dot paper that she used for her die cut happy sentiment? It is from our new patterned paper pack, The Sorbet Collection.  See the end of this post for more details!

Chunyuan used some patterned paper from our new The Brights Collection Paper Pack, our Petals & Stems stamps and dies, a sentiment from our Many Thanks stamp set and our Dotted Dies to create this gorgeous card.  I adore the color combination! 

I so am excited that it is time to introduce our new Patterned Paper Pads that will be available for purchase starting tomorrow! 

The colors used in our patterned paper pads are made specifically to coordinate with our Pigment Ink Pads!!

We took the guess work out of creating perfectly coordinated projects. Use these products together or on their own for gorgeous results.  Each 6 x 6 inch pad contains 24 double-sided papers with 24 unique designs. Our paper pads are proudly made in the USA. Our patterned paper is 65 lb cardstock and is acid and lignin free. We picked some of our most popular ink pad colors to start.  If these two paper pads do well we have plans to release more colors in the future!

The Brights Collection 6 x 6 In Paper Pad - Retails $6

The colors used in The Brights Collection paper pads are custom made to coordinate with our Aquamarine, Fizz, Mimosa and Raspberry Pigment Ink Pads. 

The Sorbet Collection 6 x 6 In Paper Pad - Retails $6

Happy Birthday Times Two

Happy day before the Fourth Of July to those of you in the US!  I hope that you and your families enjoy the holiday!   Be sure to stop by next week.  We have a new product line to introduce to you!  I am so excited that the time is finally here!!  Until then, I have two fun birthday cards to share with you! 

Heather created this first card using our #Smile stamp set and our Dotted Elle-ments dies.  I love the way she masked and stamped the hearts floating up the card.  It is too too cute!

JJ created this card using our Simply Said Happy stamp and die set, our Bottle It Up dies (the bottom of a bottle for the minion - genius) and our Custom Panels dies (for eyes).  Someone is going to flip over this adorable card!!

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

Yainea created this fantastic card using our Simply Said Happy stamp and die set.  How cute are the balloons from our Party Animal and Balloons stamp & die sets tied to the sentiment?!!  Brilliant!

Thank You, Happy Birthday and a Winner

Today I have the pleasure of sharing two amazing projects from Yainea and Caryn.   I just adore both of these so much!

Yainea created this fun card using our Many Thanks stamp set.  I love how she used the gem image from the set to create a backdrop for the sentiment.  The geometric layout plays upon the angles of the image so well!

Caryn created this fabulous inlaid card using our Simply Said Happy stamp and die set.  I love the rainbow of cardstock colors she used.  This is a happy card indeed!

Let's get on to the hop..

I created this card using our Simply Said Happy Stamp & Die set.  We have quite a few graduations coming up and this was a really quick and fun card to put together.  I just love the way the burst from our new Avery Elle Signature Dies looks behind the Balloon die cut.  The banners from our Dotted Die set are a fun accent too!

I used our Dotted, Avery Elle Signature and Balloons Die sets to create this next card.  I really love this combination.  I stamped a sentiment from our new So Happy stamp set on the inside and kept the whole thing very simple.

That is all from me!  Stop by to see Chunyuan next!!
