March 1, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Altenew for their Build-a-Flower: Dahlia release blog hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Norine Borys’s blog.

For my project I embossed the outline floral images from the Build-a-Flower: Dahlia stamp set in clear and then for the color I blended Altenew inks. I used Pink Diamonds, Pinkalicious, Rubellite, Orange Cream & Autumn Blaze. For the leaves I used Bamboo & Olive.

After die cutting the floral images, I embossed a sentiment included in the Build-a-Flower: Dahlia stamp set. Before adhering the images I flicked a little bit of Licorice liquid watercolor onto my white cardbase. I also added a few Studio Katia sequins here and there for embellishment.

Here is a video to show you how I created this card.

Altenew-May 2018 Inspiration Challenge

May 2, 2018

Hello, everyone! This month I’m joining Altenew in hosting the May 2018 Inspiration Challenge!

The inspiration photo for this month’s challenge is of a card from last year that I created featuring the Floral Shadow Stamp Set. There are so many great colors to choose from in this project, but we’ve decided to highlight the pink, aqua, and teal for the challenge.

Here’s what I came up with using this photo as my inspiration:
For the background, I blended Dew Drops & Aqualicious Crisp Dye Inks using the Stone Wall Stencil.For the floral images, I used the Garden Treasure Stamp Set. I stamped the blooms with Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious,& Razzleberry inks. I also used a bit of Autumn Blaze Crisp Dye Ink for the stamen in the blooms. For the leaves, I used Bamboo& Parrot inks. I used the coordinating Garden Treasure Die to cut the floral images out and pop them up onto the ink–blended background.For the sentiment, I used the Flower Arrangement Stamp Set. I stamped the “hello” and then used the coordinating Flower Arrangement Die to die cut the sentiment. I die cut four more white word die-cuts and adhered them together using spray adhesive to make a sturdy, dimensional word die–cut.
I’d love for you to join the challenge for a chance to win a $30 gift certificate. You can check out all the details over on the Altenew blog. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Altenew-Folksy Florals

April 23, 2018

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Altenew blog featuring the Folksy Florals stamp set.I used several images from the Folksy Florals Stamp Set to build a sort of symmetrical folk art design. Using the MISTI makes it easy to position your stamp, rotate it, and stamp it again, getting a perfectly symmetrical placement.To give the images a gradient look, I inked them up using a light and dark ink in the same color family. I used the Folksy Florals Stamp Set for the sentiment as well and popped up the panel onto a Harvest Gold base. To finish it off, I added a few enamel accents in Blue Ribbon & Wild Orchid. Here’s a video to show you how I made this card.

I have a winner to announce from my Altenew April release blog hop.
Congratulations Sophie Farah!

I also have a very belated winner to announce from the Motion Crafts blog hop.
Congratulations Annette Gordon!

Altenew-Hope

March 28, 2018

Hello there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Altenew blog featuring the Hope Stamp Set. I thought I would try a color combination that I’ve never tried before. I don’t think I’ve ever combined purple and orange together, other than maybe at Halloween time, but they are absolutely gorgeous paired together.
To being I blended Midnight Violet on the bottom of a panel and Orange Cream on the top. I adhered the beautiful Dotted Washi Tape over the ink blended panel, which really toned down the colors, but still allows you to see the subtle purple and orange ink blending.
The next step was stamping the beautiful floral images from the Hope Stamp Set. For the bloom I used the Shades of Purple ink set and for the leaves I used the Green Meadows ink set. I also added Sunkissed and Autumn Blaze for the center of the bloom.
Then I die cut a circle window opening into the background panel using one of the Halftone Circles dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Hope Stamp Set and embossed a coordinating sentiment in white onto a strip of royal purple cardstock.Here is a video to show you how I created this card.

I have a winner to announce from the March Release blog hop.
Congratulations Kathy McCluskey!
