Avery Elle Create Magic card kit!

Hi there!

There is something new and exciting coming to Avery Elle - our very first card kit!


Isn't it adorable? This limited edition exclusive card kit costs $27 and is only available on www.averyelle.com while supplies last. The kit contains a 4x6 exclusive stamp set, coarse glitter, a roll of hemp twine, acetate sheets, a vinyl zippered mesh bag and patterned paper designed especially for this kit! A set of matching dies are sold separately, click HERE.

I created 2 cards using items from the kit. My first card is a cute garden scene:

I stamped out images from the set, and set them against a patterned paper sky. I used the die-cut clouds in there too. I then framed everything with another piece of ephemera and opted for a sentiment strip to finish things off.

On my next card, I featured a pair of fairy friends:

I love that they are kind of mirror-imaged. They play so well together! I stamped the 2 fairies, and a butterfly, and then used items from the kit to pull the card together. The subtle striped of the patterned paper works so well to add texture and interest to the base.

I hope you like it! I think this kit is so well designed, and the price point is fantastic! Let me know what you think!

New Essentials by Ellen release blog hop!

Hi there!

Welcome to the new EBE release blog hop! Everything was designed by Julie Ebersole and is so much fun! I have 2 projects to show off!

My first card uses Lil' 'Squatch. I just love those trees! And Big Foot is hilarious. This card came together so quickly, but I love the end result.

I blended some light blue ink into the center of the card panel, and allowed the ink to fade to nothing on either side.  Next I flecked on some light brown ink and then arranged my images - the trees, the 'Squatch, and little forest finds - on top.  The sentiments in this set are hilarious! I selected this one to finish off the card.

My next project is this little felt snowman! The new EBE release features Sew Cute - Snowman dies. This would be perfect for even little kids to attempt, as the holes are a bit bigger than on other felt dies I've worked with. Speaking of kids, I meant to add a string to the top and turn this into an ornament, but a cute someone wanted to keep this little plushie for herself.

And then she asked if I would make one for all her classmates as Christmas gifts. I said no. haha.

I hope you like what I created! Now, onto the fun stuff:
