EBE favorites blog hop

Hi there!

Ellen Hutson is celebrating 12 years! The design team has gotten together to celebrate, by creating cards with our favorite Essentials by Ellen stamp sets. It was too hard to choose one, so I chose 2:



I used Plaid Maker to create my background. I stamped the solid block image in black ink onto red cardstock. To create the lighter squares, I first stamped off onto scrap paper before pressing down onto my red card. I usually take more time to make sure the plaid is perfect, but I eyeballed everything here. I wanted it to look homespun and hand-painted. To finish off the plaid, I inked up some stripes in white ink. It looks so cozy!

The focal image snowman is from my other favorite set, Snow Buds. I colored his scarf, hat and mittens to match the background. I dangled his mittens again like I did in *this card.* I love the look!

The only sentiment I needed was from the Neat and Tangled set, Stay Cool. I overlapped the mittens onto the sentiment and adhered them to a kraft-colored circle. I used a white paint pen to color the outside edge of the circle, and dotted little snow flakes to the inside.

I hope you like it!  If you're shopping today, check out Ellen Hutson's Black Friday sale:

Oh what fun! (an EBE sneak peek)

Hi there!

I'm back today with another sneak peek of the new EBE collection, coming this Sunday November 4th:

I used the new Snow Days set, as well as the set from yesterday's peek, Snow Buds to create this fun card.



I used 2 of the pattern strips from Snow Days to create a pink background. It looks like a cozy knitted sweater! I then stamped the graphic sentiment in black ink right overtop.

The snowman, from Snow Buds looks like he's actually saying the sentiment out loud! I love his little open mouth. I colored his hat and scarf in blue, to keep the color scheme soft and girly.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Snow Buds (an EBE sneak peek!)

Hi there!

I'm thrilled I get to share an Essentials by Ellen sneak peek - you will love this winter collection!

I used the new Snow Buds set to create this card:

Aren't they the cutest? I love them. I stamped out 3 snowmen, and gave them different faces and accessories. They take on different personalities, just by altering the faces and where you stamp them!

I set them against a navy cardstock that was die-cut using Lawn Fawn's Snowy Backdrop die. I edged the corners of the navy paper with a white ink to create a little bit of a hazy sky.

I placed their stick arms to make it look like they are throwing their arms around their friend in the middle. ha! The sentiment works so perfectly with this scene.

I hope you've enjoyed this first look at Snow Buds!  I have another card to show off tomorrow!
