January 10, 2018

Hi there! Today I’m happy to be joining Altenew for their January Release Blog Hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Kristina Pokazanieva’s blog. I have a couple of projects to share using a few of the new January release products.For my first card I used the Cube Cover die for the background. I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock behind the white Cube Cover die cut.For the sentiment I used the Caps Bold Alphabet dies and added a sentiment from the Hug Me stamp set.My next card features the Shattered Triangle die set. I think you already know how I feel about triangles, right? They are the love of my life:) I die cut several with solid colored cardstock and layered the “shattered” looking triangle die cuts over top of a few for a fantastic tone on tone textured look.For the sentiment I used the Simple Alphabet dies to spell out a simple thanks. Loving this simple and smaller font size.Prizes:

Altenew-March Release Blog Hop

March 22, 2017

Hello there! Today I’m excited to join Altenew for their March release blog hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Nicole Picadura’s blog.So many fantastic new sets in the March release! My first card features the Simple Fruits set.
I used several Altenew inks on each of the fruits. I would ink up each fruit with two shades: lighter one of the top and darker ink on the bottom. Using the Misti helps a ton to do this. I used the coordinating dies and popped up each fruit with foam tape.
This next card features the Hug Me set. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with Copics.
For the background I blended distress inks onto distress cardstock followed by some flicks of water.
This last card showcases the Garden Treasure stamp set with gorgeous multi-step stamping floral images.
I used Altenew inks on the flowers and added a bit more detail with my Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment is from Adore You.
GIVEAWAY!
