It's the first of the month and that means Avery Elle release Day #1! This month Avery Elle is releasing 4 new sets! I know everyone is knee-deep in holiday prep, but these sets will get you thinking about Valentine's Day (yeah, I went there;) Today we're all featuring projects using the new set Lots of Love!
This first card is about as girly as they come! I used my favorite sentiment in the whole set:) To play on the sentiment, I created a gatefold card that opens up to...
reveal a larger ribbon! This one was a little tricky to put together, but I love the final look. {Tip: Do a dry run with repositional tape before permanently gluing the pieces together} The bow is decorative, but it's also keeping the card closed;)
This next card was a no-brainer! Chalkboard art seems to be all over the place lately (like here and here) and this set was just screaming to be done up in chalkboard! I heat embossed all the sentiments in white and stamped over with white ink. Added a little more white ink smudged here and there and penciled in a frame, done and done. Cute but still masculine enough for hubby;)
That's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you click on over to these links below to see what wonderful projects Jamie, Chunyuan, and Heather have made with this set:)
