Erin Lee Creative January Release

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the Erin Lee Creative January release.  When I received these products I sat down immediately and started to play.  There are such fun new stamps, dies and stencils.  I'm sure you'll find something you like.

We are hopping today (see list below) to show off these great new products.  If you've come from Lindsay Dickason's blog, you're in the right place!

There will be two (2) $25 gift certificate winners chosen from the comments on our blogs, so comment away!  Winners will be posted on the Erin Lee Creative Blog on Saturday, February 1.

First up:  Stained Glass Stencil


I used some pearly embossing paste with this stencil, and as you can see, the results are nice and crisp.  I popped up the "hello" (Big Hello Love Die) on some foam for more dimension, and the card is complete.  With a great background like that, a simple word die will finish it without competing.



Next up we have two products: Leopard Background and Let's Make Cards.  One of the best parts of this hobby is getting to know other friends who speak the same crafty language.  Crafting is definitely more fun with a friend!


I heat embossed the background stamp in clear on black cardstock, then I stamped and embosed the sentiment in white on the red circle.  I stamped and quickly colored the cute envelope then fussy cut this image and popped it up with foam tape.  See how the pattern in the heart coordinates with the background?



Finally I made one more card with the Leopard Background.  My husband really likes big cats, and black panthers are his favorite, so I thought I'd make a Valentine for him with a more subtle print like those cats have.  I just stamped the background in Versamark on black cardstock.  Of course this Love You die is just perfect as well.



I know I'll keep making lots of fun cards with the products from this release, and you will, too!  Please keep hopping with us today.  Your next stop is Jenny Colacicco.  (And if you missed it, the list of bloggers is below.  I'm in some pretty great company today!)

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
