GUAC ON IDEAS & INSPIRATION

I’m sharing some fun ideas for Guac On today. Brace for it. LOL! If you love avocados as much as I do, I think you’ll get a kick out of these!

Can you tell I had a lot of fun making these?! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope these guys sparked additional ideas for you!

Stay safe out there! I got my first and second doses of the vaccination and am excited—my parents get their second dose soon and it won’t be too much longer before I can safely hug them again for the first time in over a year! Thank goodness for FaceTime so we could at least see each others’ faces on a regular basis!

A NEW ESSENTIALS BY ELLEN RELEASE AND A RAINFALL TUTORIAL

CLICK ON THE GRAPHIC ABOVE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE FEBRUARY 2021 RELEASE PAGE! ⬆️

YAY! It’s release day at ellenhutson.com ! ⬅︎ Check out all the lovelies—I’ve been a busy girl! •grin•

There’s so much to see and share—too much for one post, so I decided to focus on a few products today and share a video tutorial on a project I just fell in love with (more projects in the coming days, promise):

feat. THE NEVER-ENDING FRINGE DIE SET / JUST SQUIDDING STAMP & DIE SET / BEAR WARE (umbrella image)

The rainfall or rain shaker card has been around for a long time, but I’ve never actually made one! And, there are several different ways to make one, of course. But, you know when you look at a product and wonder if you can do something with it that it wasn’t originally intended for? Yeah, that’s what happened here with the Never-Ending Fringe Die . . .

Inside message: “Does somebody need a hug?” (from Just Squidding)

These are seriously too much fun! I definitely gotta get more beads—I just have those pretty silver-lined ones, but how fun would it be to have a variety of colors??? •wheels are spinning• Have you tried making one of these before? I already pre-cut a whole bunch of stubby fringe so I can bust out more of these babies! EEP!!!

Sooooo, what do you think of the latest release? Do you have a favorite?

Thanks for stopping by and hope you are continuing to stay healthy and safe out there!

MAKE A PEEK-A-BOO VALENTINE WITH HINGED LETTERS

I’ve mentioned before how much I love the Classic Block Alphabet Dies—I love the Hinged version just as much because of this fun effect!

To keep it modern and clean, I opted not to embellish it any further than rounding the two corners. I did sleep on that, just to be sure. LOL!

That said, on the topic of embellishments, you may want to stock up on your favorites or try some new ones at Ellen Hutson LLC while they’re on sale:

Hope you had a wonderful and safe Holiday Season!

What are you excited to be making in 2021?
