Altenew Stamp/Die/Storage Pouch Release Blog Hop Day 2+ Giveaway



Hello Lovelies!
So excited to be part of the Blog Hop day 2 at the Altenew Scrapbook Blog! Did you enjoy all the inspiration from Day 1?

If you are hopping from the beginning you should be arriving from Enza Gudor.
EEEK! I'm geeking out over the new items in the shop geared toward scrapbooking, YET, can easily be used for cardmaking too:)) I only had two days to create for this hop. It was not difficult to come up with several projects..my head was swimming with possibilities!
You can see how much fun I had playing with the new stamps and dies below:
For this first card I colored the large stamp from CHARMED with Zig clean color brush markers. Then created a mask and heat embossed the largest rectangle from Framed stamp set in Gold EP. Layered it onto a black matte and Watercolored Striped Stenciled CS. The sentiment is from Floral Garden stamp set from the New Day Card Kit.

 Next I played with the DOODLED LACE COVER DIE...I LOVE THIS ONE!!  It looks fabulous cut from white CS and layered on the Watercolored Striped Stencil sponged in rainbow colors:) The newly released SCRIPT CONGRATS word die is cut from patterned paper from The New Day Card Kit...I like how the word can be manipulated to flow along the lines of the doodled cover.

 I found that the Doodled Lace Cover Die could be fussy cut apart and re-arrange the blooms hidden with-in the lace. I outlined the stitches with a black pen and popped it onto the rainbow CS from The New Day Card Kit.SCRIPT HUGS is cut from the similar paper from the REFLECTIONS scrapbook kit.

 Moving on to the STRIPED LEAF COVER DIE cut from more vibrant rainbow pattern paper from the same New Day Card Kit..then cut another from Black SC and layered them OFF-SET onto a second piece of pattern paper. Then added a tag from HANDMADE TAG DIES and cut several layers of SCRIPT LOVE, backed with vellum..


Now, I didn't want to waste the rainbow negative cuts from the STRIPED LEAF COVER DIE, so I inlaid them into a panel of white CS for a simple CAS card with sentiment from HALFTONE CIRCLES.


For my final card, the frame from SWEET FRIEND stamp set is colored with Artistic Markers and ZIGGYs, then cut out with the coordinating die. I placed it onto paper from the New Day Card Kit that I stamped once with the pretty floral cluster from CHARMED in Tide Blue crisp ink. Then I heat embossed the sentiment in black EP and splattered a touch of Dusk metallic shimmer spray for embellishment.

There you have it! As you can see, it was a blast creating with the new goodies and my favorite papers from the Card Kit.  Your NEXT stop is Agnieszka Malyszek.

STAMPlorations TYPOGRAPHIA MOTIVATE Bloghop


Hello! I had the pleasure of creating with two new stamps from STAMPlorations which are part of a Bloghop celebrating the release of several TYPOGRAPHIA styled sets. These have MOTIVATIONAL sentiments..hence the name MOTIVATE. What a great way to make quick encouragement cards and projects!

The first one is called Do What You Can-TYPOGRAPHIA MOTIVATE
I kept the design on these cards very simple by stamping the Do What You Can on white CS then masking it off to stamp a random floral pattern with Floral Bliss Trio 1. Then trimmed it with the Crazy Double Running Stitched Rectangle die.


For this next one I added some pretty blooms around the sentiment:) Other stamp sets used Bloom Factory, Eclectic Florals, Frames and Flowers, Groovy Shoes

The next stamp is called Chance- TYPOGRAPHIA MOTIVATE
This is a one layer card as well inked in the MISTI to create a rainbow of words.


The final card is heat embossed with black EP onto a page from the original COLOR BLOOMS coloring book. Then I added an orange shadow by moving the stamp down just a bit and re-stamping a second time with ripe persimmon Distress Ink.

There is a PRIZE for the bloghop by commmenting:
 *One commenter will win her choice of 3 Typografia Motivate stamps. The winner will be randomly drawn from all comments left on the STAMP blog and participating designers' blogs.

Winner will be announced on Tuesday, August 29.

The BLOGHOP list can be found at STAMPlorations. So comment here, and Get Hopping!

Thanks for stopping by!

Altenew Card Kit Blog Hop + Giveaway



Hello! I'm so excited to be a part of the Altenew Bloghop featuring the New Day Card Kit. I LOVE the stamp set and the beautiful 6"x6" Pattern paper packet:) If you are hopping along, you should be arriving from the blog of Mindy Baxter.
For my first card I stamped a one layer card using the Crisp inks shown in the photo.
The next one I decided to play with the pattern papers...SWOONING over the watercolor look of each of these..and I must force myself NOT to hoard them:)

LOVE that Lovely Die cut frame in GOLD Mirror cardstock. I also added a two layers of the new Leafy Wreath Die, along with various die cuts and Enamel dots from the kit. That sweet bicycle is a tag trimmed down to fit inside the frame.



And my final card is back to stamping a pretty floral arrangement, trimming the panel with the glitter tape and a tiny strip of the Apple Red CS included in the kit. The crisp inks used on this one are: Cherry Blossom mini cubes, Fresh Lemon, and Tropical Forest mini cubes.

I hope you are enjoying the Hop..your next stop is Chari Moss.
