25 days of Christmas tags (with Avery Elle)

 Hi there!

I'm thrilled to be joining Tracey McNeely's annual 25 days of Christmas tags event! Look at this amazing line up of sponsors:

Avery Elle is the sponsor today, so you know I had to jump in with a few tags!

25 days of Christmas tags (with Avery Elle)

I made this set of tags using images from Winter Friends! It's a set that I illustrated for Avery Elle and I think they look so cute on these tags! The tag shape is courtesy of the Holiday Circle Tags die set, and the No Peeking sentiment is from Peek-A-Boo Tags. I can't wait to use these on some presents!

I also brought back one of my favorite sets from last year's winter release: Santa Bear.

I colored images from the set and put them onto a piece from the Holiday Ephemera pack. Nothing simpler!

I hope you like my tags for today. Check out Tracey's blog today for more inspiration: click!

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!
