Sledding Critters (Avery Elle)

Hi there!

I have a fun card to share today, featuring Avery Elle's Sledding Critters.

I loooved the critters found in the previously-released Birthday Bus, and this one features a few of the same characters. I was so excited to ink them up and start coloring! The bear with the snow goggles? I die.

I colored and die-cut the main image and stamped a greeting from Brring On The Joy directly onto the sled.

To back the critters, I grabbed a sheet of minty cardstock and ran it through the die-cutter using the Falling Snow die. I used it a ton last year and don't see myself putting it out of reach for this holiday season either. 

To frame the snow and sledding animals, I layered a Horizontal Stripes die-cut over my white card base. The tone-on-tone isn't busy, but is so much more interesting than just layering onto a plain folded card.

Finally, I stamped a few strings of lights to go across the top, and in the center, a wreath (from Brring On The Joy.)

I hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!
