November 20, 2017

Hi there! Today I’m joining Altenew for their November blog hop featuring their newly release Artist Markers. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from the lovely Kathy Racoosin’s blog.I have a couple of projects that showcase some of the gorgeous colors in the Artist Markers B & C sets.For my first card I simply scribbled several of the markers onto Yupo paper. The Yupo paper has a coating on it that works beautifully with alcohol based markers. I added some blooms from Garden Treasure that were embossed in white onto vellum along with a sentiment from Label Love.My next card used the same Yupo paper that I scribbled the exact same colors on as above, but afterwards I added some drops of alcohol blending solution which created a magical reaction.
For the sentiment I used one of the Script Words 2 dies and embossed a coordinating sentiment from Super Script.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these projects.

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Altenew for their November blog hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from the Altenew Card Blog.
I have a couple of projects to share featuring a few new products from the November release.This first card features the Snapshots stamp & die set. I inked the camera stripes with Pink Diamonds & Pinkalicous and added a fun puffy sticker to the center of the camera. I made this card for my daughter Alex. She loves polaroids so I cut a small frame using this cut file on my Silhouette to frame a photo of us.I layered some Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper for the background and used the Creative Edges: Notebook die to add detail to the sides of the pattern paper. I embossed a sentiment from the Story of Us stamp set.
This next card features the Story of Us stamp set. I layered two of these gorgeous multi-step stamping blooms and popped them up to frame the sentiment that is also from the Story of Us.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Altenew blog featuring the Halftone Stars stamp set along with the Halftone Stars Nesting die set.To begin I die cut one of the larger star dies repeatedly all over a panel of white cardstock. For the background I blended Arctic, Carribean Sky, Persian Blue & Sapphire ink onto bristol paper. I also die cut some smaller stars and blended them with Citrus Burst & Honey Drizzle.
I added one final layer of stars using the smallest star die on glittered cardstock. For the sentiment I used the Halftone Stars stamp set and embossed in white onto a strip of black cardstock.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Altenew September 2017 Release Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway

September 28, 2017

Hi there! Today I’m joining Altenew for Day 2 of their September Release blog hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Kristina Werner’s blog.
My first project showcases the fun 3D Circle Ornament die set. I thought that these ornaments not only make great ornaments but could also be colorful little gift toppers. I wrapped a gift with kraft wrapping paper that I stamped with the Majestic Mistletoe stamp set and clipped the ornaments onto the baker’s twine.
My next card features the Building Blocks die set.
To begin I blended distress cardstock with Altenew inks and then die cut the panel with several of the Building Blocks dies. I adhered them onto the card base with foam tape. I added a glittered sentiment from the Script Words 2 dies as well as an embossed sentiment from Happy Holidays. I embossed the branch from Peace on Earth onto vellum and added Nuvo Jewel drops for the berries.
My final card features the Winter Rose stamp set.
Such a gorgeous multi-step stamp set. I stamped the blooms using several Altenew inks. To finish it off I added some clear round drops.

Altenew-Hello

September 12, 2017

Hi there! Today I have a project that was up on the Altenew blog yesterday and I wanted to share it here as well. It’s featuring a few of the new products from Altenew’s August release.I started by embossing the geometric image from Building Blocks repeatedly for the background using clear embossing powder. Then I blended Mountain Mist for the color. I also flicked some Volcano Lake ink on with a wet brush.
I embossed the floral image from the Charmed stamp set with white embossing powder and blended in color using several Altenew inks. I used Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Citrus Burst & Bamboo.For the sentiment I used a die from the Envelope Liner die set on gorgeous glittered cardstock. I also added a few clear droplets to finish it off.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing these projects over on the Altenew blog featuring more colorful stenciled backgrounds.This first card uses the gorgeous Cube Builder stencil. I had so many questions about how to make the rainbow background using the Cube Builder stencil that I made a video to show you how easy it is.
I added a sentiment from the Simple Flowers stamp set along with a few Sparkling Clear Sequins.This next card features the Grid Stencil. I used some gorgeous Altenew inks on both of my projects.The images & sentiment are from the Baby Zoo set.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
