Woodland Scene Builder x3

Hi there!

I'm here with a few cards using a set from Avery Elle's newest release, Woodland Scene Builder. I'm hoping to show you how versatile this stamp set is!

Right away, I flipped it and used the background image on a vertical card.



I stamped the background image, and then carefully cut the large tree with the mouse peeking out straight up. Then, I stamped it again lined up the right edge of the background to the right edge of my card. The trees layered on top of that tree on the left. Clear? haha. I'm confusing myself. To make it even more seamless, I used a black pen to draw in all of the missing lines (I didn't want the white die-cut border to show) and then colored everything in with copic markers. Try zooming in to the top left-hand side of the card for a better view. 




After that, building the rest of the card was easy! I added in the sledding squirrel from Winter Friends and some string lights from O Tiny Tree. I love how the mouse and squirrel are waving to each other!

My next card shows you that this background set can be used year-round:


I paired it with images from Camping Critters for a fun summer set. I achieved a more summery look by stamping the grassy tufts included in the set, and doing some ink-blending on the card base before adding in the die-cut layers. I also kept the string lights white, which is 100% less festive than coloring them red.


I couldn't help but add in some pops of red, though! Just enough? hee hee.

My 3rd card uses the set more simply:



I literally just tucked it behind the big die-cut Happy Holidays, added the little girl on the deer to the side, and accented the die-cut with some sprigs and the snowman from O Tiny Tree

I hope you like my cards for today! Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies, all from the Avery Elle store:

Camping critters! (Avery Elle new release blog hop)

Hi there!

I'm so excited to have you stop by my blog today, to celebrate the new Avery Elle release! I illustrated 2 sets in the mix, Unicycle, and the one I'm showing off right now - Camping Critters. Strap in, I have 4 cards to share with you!

My first card is a completely 1 layer panel. It took awhile to get the dies to me across the border, so I started playing around with just the stamps. I ink-blended a night sky, and did some masking to build my scene. Everything was colored using copic markers. Only the sentiment was stamped separately and set on top.

For my second card, which is similarly 1 layer for the most part, I wanted to create a daytime look. Only the tent and the sweet bear, but this time, with a little bunny friend, from Santa Bear, and some little butterflies, from Wheelie Great. I added the sentiment as a skinny strip in the middle of the rolling hills, to cut into all of that solid green.

Once I got the dies, I couldn't help but make another couple of cards! This one features another night scene. I hand-cut an oval shape out of green cardstock for the grassy area, making sure to keep the edges jagged so it really looks like grass. Then, I used a blender brush to spread a black-inked sky, keeping the edges lighter and in line with the grassy piece. I added a blue tent, little critters making s'mores and fireflies in the night sky.

This last card is the simplest. I really wanted to feature the raccoon on a card, I love him holding the little lantern! I added the heart-in-speech-bubble image from Wheelie Great, as well as a few mushrooms from Falling For You. The Star Scene die provided the perfect backdrop.

There are more projects to see today! Here is a full list of blog hop participants:
