I'm showcasing the new Simple Sentiments! It's a PERFECT set with tons of small sentiments in the best font. One of the best parts is that there are now dies to cut sentiment strips! You can have a perfectly cut small strip of paper! How cool is that?



 I added the cactus plants from Stuck on You. I love how these sets layer together!

 Now keep hopping! Up next is the super talented Elena Roussakis!

Avery Elle Merry Merry

Hi Everyone! Ashley here sharing the Merry Merry stamp set. I love the big bold sentiments in this set. Let's get started...


Today I wanted to play up the awesome big words in this set by making a statement. I started by heat embossing the sentiment. I love that this set has big sentiments but also gives you lots of options for ordering them how you'd like. 

Next, I taped off each word and blended distress inks. I could have stopped there but I want to add a little extra. I die cut shapes from Fireside and added them to my layout for a little interest and dimension. Fun, right?


Thank you for stopping by today! I can't wait to try this card again with different colors and a new sentiment. What will you create?

Avery Elle Starry Scene

Hi Everyone! Have you started making your holiday cards? I love making them one at a time and starting early then I have a fun collection for the holidays!

Today I created my card using Starry Scene and Polar Peek a Boo Pals. Let's check it out!


I started this winter scene with the background. I stamped the star sky with Distress Oxides. I tried MANY different kinds of ink for this look and Distress Oxides ended up being my personal favorite. I found applying the ink to the stamp with an ink blender gave the best results. I also had my stamp and paper set up in a Misti so I could easy stamp it several times. 

Next I stamped the mountains, bear and fox and colored them with Copics. I hand cut the hills and added Coarse Glitter to the tops. I finished the card with a sentiment from Fireside.


Thanks for stopping by!

Avery Elle Grateful

Hi Everyone, it's Ashley! Today I'm excited to share the Grateful stamps and dies. I've also used a few other stamp sets in this release because they are so fun to mix and match!



I created the background with Starry Scene and Sapphire Pigment Ink. Next I used the Photo Mat dies to create the ink blended scene. The beautiful sentiment is from Grateful. I LOVE having the die set to match. Adding the gold shadow was so easy. Finally, I added a few trees from Starry Scene.



These stamp and die sets are so fun. I can't wait to see what YOU create.

Avery Elle Sending Peace

Hi Everyone! Today I'm sharing Sending Peace along with the incredibility cute animals from Polar Peek-A-Boo Pals.


This cards all started with the sentiment "joy to the world". I love the font, isn't it the best? I heat embossed the sentiment and fit it in to a circle die I hand on hand. I blended Distress Ink and splattered it with water from a paint brush.


Next I stamped, die cut and colored a few animals from Polar Peek-A-Boo Pals. It was so hard to choose which animals I wanted to included! I love them all!


Finally, I blended a few sun rays on a card base using Post-it tape and adhered the card together.

I'm having a great time creating my first holiday cards! What are you working on?

Thanks for stopping by!

Avery Elle Fall Release Blog Hop





Hello! Thanks for stopping by on the Avery Elle blog hop. Today the Avery Elle design team is sharing the awesome new stamps and dies available now HERE. 

I'm sharing the new Peaceful Pines stamps and dies. 


I started this card with a water colored background using Mimosa Liquid Watercolor. Next I stamped and die cut the pine branches and added water colored die cut berries using Cherry Liquid Watercolor. 


I love a soft, warm feeling for Christmas cards so I die cut the word "merry" from felt. The card needed more color so I die cut the pin branches again from solid green card stock and used it as a shadow behind my stamped image.


I love how this card turned out and I can't wait to see what's next on the hop. Head on over to see what Elena Roussakis created!
