Avery Elle - Right as Rain

Avery Elle Viking

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS masculine thank you card created with the Avery Elle Viking stamp set. This is another card created with the goals of using seldom- or never-used products and practicing my coloring skills.

I stamped the viking image and colored him with Copic markers and colored pencils. The image includes a sentiment in the beard, which I covered when I stamped the image.
I used the coordinating die to cut out the viking.
I heat-embossed an Avery Elle thank you sentiment (sent in one of my Avery Elle orders) on woodgrain patterned paper.
I added the Viking to the woodgrain paper with foam adhesive and added the assembly to a gingham-checked patterned paper base.

Supplies: Avery Elle Viking and coordinating die set, X-Press It paper (for Copics)

Pretty Pink Posh – Whimsical Christmas Stencil

Hello! Today I am sharing two CAS Christmas cards, of the same design, featuring the Pretty Pink Posh Whimsical Christmas stencil.

On the first version (left in the above image), I applied embossing paste through the stencil on to green cardstock. I heat-embossed a sentiment from the now-retired Avery Elle Noel stamp set on to red cardstock, cut with a square die and matted on to a white cardstock square.

On the second version, I applied Gina K Red Velvet Glitter Gel through the stencil. I heat-embossed the same sentiment on to green cardstock to contrast with the red.

This stencil has a fair amount of open area. The embossing paste is stiffer than the glitter gel and was easier to apply, given all of the open area.

Bee Mine – CAS Valentine

Hello from the snowy Pacific Northwest! We have had more snow in the past few days than we typically have all winter. We are breaking snow records for February. Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine featuring the Paper Smooches Bees Dies and a punny sentiment.

- I cut and assembled the bees.
- I created and printed the sentiment on my computer and cut it with a die in the now-retired Avery Elle Scalloped & Pierced Hearts die set.
- I used a 4 1/4″ square die from Lil’ Inker to cut the patterned paper background (Pebbles 6″ x 6″ pad from several years ago).

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2018 – Day 17 Avery Elle

Hello! Today I am sharing two Christmas tags as part of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags event from Day 17 featuring Avery Elle. I was inspired by Tracey’s tag using the Avery Elle Polar Peek-A-Boo set.

I stamped and Copic-colored the moose and deer from Polar Peek-A-Boo and cut the pieces with their coordinating dies. I added Nuvo Morning Dew (dries clear) to the lights on the moose and the nose of the deer.

When the pieces were dry, I added the moose and the deer to tags cut from Stampin’ Up cardstock with the largest die in the Gift Tags set, on which I had heat-embossed the sentiment. I added snowflakes, cut with the now-discontinued Avery Elle Snow Caps die set, and twine.

Marianne Design Die-Cut Mice – Spring Version

Hello! Today, I am sharing a spring-themed card featuring the Marianne Design Eline’s Mice Family die set. Back in the fall, I shared a Christmas-themed card featuring the same mice.

I die-cut the mice and assembled them, adding a dress, cut with a die in the Outfits set from an older Pebbles patterned paper pack (also used for the card base), to the Mama Mouse.
