Avery Elle July Inspiration Week, Day 1

WOO-WHOO!  
It's finally here! 
It's Avery Elle Inspiration Week and I'll be here all week to share cards using Avery Elle stamps!  I am so excited to share these cards & stamp sets with you!  

Here's my card for today:
 It features Avery Elle's Bright Day's stamp set.  
It's available for purchase here right now! 
I used the large ray, large solid circle, & the sentiment.
I also used Avery Elle card stock, colors: Pure White & Raspberry.

Seriously, this stamp set is amazing and is super versatile!
It stamps so crisp and I love the two different ray sizes.  


Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team did too!

Avocado Arts Guest Designer, Part 2


YAY!  
I'm back with my 2nd card as a guest designer for Avocado Arts.
Since I'm really not one for a lot of words, I'll cut straight to the card! 
For this card, I used lots of wonderful papers I've been hoarding and Avocado Arts Bold Celebrations stamp set!  
I used the cake, banners, and the 'celebrate' sentiment!

Such a great stamp set!  You can find this stamp set for sale here.

Thank you to everyone at Avocado Arts for letting my play this month!  
It has been an absolute pleasure and joy!  Thank you!

Have a great day!

***To find my Avocado Arts guest designer post, scroll down, or click here.***

It's time for this week's Paper Smooches Sparks challenge. 
The first week of the month is the trend watch challenge!
 Here is this week's trend watch photo:


I was really inspired by the red and white and even the little bit of black in the logo/title.
I also went with the food theme too!

Here's my card: 
I trimmed some patterned paper and cardstock and then masked the ant to stamp the watermelon.    

I used the following Paper Smooches stamps: 
Alfresco: Ant, Watermelon
Word Salad: Sentiment

Be sure to stop by the rest of the Paper Smooches Sparks DT members blogs to see what they've created and leave them some love. 

This weeks Sparks challenge ends July 8th so get stamping!  
Can't wait to see what you create! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Avocado Arts: July Guest Designer

YAY!  
I'm so excited to share that I am Avocado Art's guest designer for July!  
Seriously, so excited and so flattered!


I got to work with the Bold Celebrations stamp set!  
Super fun, right!  You can find this stamp set for sale here.


And here's my card!
Since we're right in the middle of wedding season, I decided I'd create a card that I could use for bridal showers/wedding or birthday.  It's great to keep these in your stash!  

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll be back with more Avocado Arts later in the month...
Have a great day!
