for the beautiful bride (Avery Elle)

Hi there!

My cousin's July wedding is fast approaching and we attended his fiancé's bridal shower last weekend. I had so much fun creating a special card for her using Avery Elle stamps and dies:

I colored the pretty lady from Love Birds to match the bride's coloring and framed her using the new Horizontal Stripes cover-plate. I love it for making no-brainer card layouts! Sometimes coming up with the design is the longest part of card-making, right?



I did not have a sentiment that spelled out Happy Bridal Shower, but I had almost all of it. For the rest, I improvised.

I grabbed the BRID, from "bride and groom" and the AL from "all my love" (both, from Banner & Wreath) to create the word BRIDAL. It was actually really easy to fit them together! I think the scripty font was extra forgiving.

The words Happy and Shower were taken from another stamp set, Special Delivery.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday cards for him and her {avery elle}

Hi there!

I have a couple of birthday cards to share today, that I created using Avery Elle products. A card for him and a card for her.

Ladies first:

I made this card for my husband to mail to his sweet sister for her birthday last week. That owl, from Woodland Wonders is my favorite! And he works so well with the birdies and banner images from Banner & Wreath.

I love AE's Best Ever stamp set - it made the card even more special to be able to stamp "sister" on it.

For the younger gents, I made this card:

DUDE.

I totally love this lanky drummer, from the Stoked stamp set. And I love that the image is large enough to cover the card-front. Stamp, die cut and done.  It's always nice to have some masculine birthday cards in my stash for when Thomas gets invited to parties!

Thanks for stopping by,

♥.
