Fintastic! (for Ellen Hutson)

Hi there!

I took a few weeks hiatus from card-making and I was itching to play with some new goodies. I inked up the images from Inner Mermaid and had some fun:

That tail is so gorgeous! I colored it in shades of purple using copic markers. Once the images were colored and die-cut, I reached for a few Avery Elle dies to help design the card.



I die-cut the Waves die, and, without removing any of the pieces, I did some ink blending to compliment the mermaid tail colors. I used Victorian Velvet and Tumbled Glass to color the background, blending them together behind the tail.

To frame the images, and break up all of that purple, I used Avery Elle's Burst die.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!

Can you believe there are only 4 more sleeps until Christmas? I can't wait!

Last week, I brought all of the pieces that Thomas' 4th grade class needed to create this card:

I used Beary Merry and Elfs and Their Shelf (both from Neat and Tangled) as well as the Noel die from Lawn Fawn and the Burst die from Avery Elle.

All of my favorite companies on one card!



It was a very fun experience, and they are apparently asking if I would come again in the new year. Some of kids were so meticulous, adding shading to the snowman  and the bear's scarf without my telling them to - it was obvious they were crafters already!

They loved the white gel pens too. I think some of the parents will be making trips to Michaels very soon!

The most wonderful time of the year (Avery Elle)

Hi there!

After the excitement of seeing our Stamptember set sell out, I zoned out for a day and forgot to blog a few cards that I created for Avery Elle using their new Comfort & Joy stamp set:

I stamped it in black and use wreath elements from Joy To The World to frame the sentiment.

The cute images from Polar Pals made their way onto both of my cards today. It's still a favorite set!

I used the same Burst frame die on this card, but in red this time, and heat embossed the sentiment for a different look.



Holding hands on a block of ice is my fave! ha.

I hope you like my cards for today. The blog is about to get busy - Lawn Fawn's inspiration week kicks off with their big giveaway today, and the design team starts showing off projects tomorrow.

See you soon!

♥.
