All Squared Up

 SquaredUp1

I love the strong graphic style of this Avery Elle set All Squared Up and how it lends itself to clean and simple cards. Here I stamped the hexagon outline in Hero Arts black dye ink and used the fill-in stamp to add random bits of colour. I had some Neat and Tangled sequins that matched the ink colours  so added a few of those too for a little extra interest. The greeting and frame are also from the All Squared Up Set (lots of options!). I stamped it on some scrap paper then cut it out with a circle punch. The little arrow shapes were cut using the Avery Elle Chevon Bits die.

Monkeying around

Monkey1

Here’s a very simple interactive card I made using Avery Elle’s adorable Funky Monkey set. I stamped the vine image twice to create a longer vine that could run the full height of the main panel, then coloured it and trimmed it out. I stamped and cut out the monkey image and attached his raised arm to the vine with a brad so that he can swing from the branch (using dimensional foam adhesive on the vine gives enough clearance for the little monkey to swing properly :)).

I love the little envelope from the Avery Elle Air Mail set – it has a couple of little sayings that fit on the letter – so cute!  The background on the card has some wavy hills cut using Mama Elephant’s Landscape Trio dies and some little mushrooms and clouds I had left over from some Lawn Fawn cards I did last week.

This week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme is “A” so I’m entering this card as it uses two Avery Elle sets.
