Altenew 2020 Summer Nights Release

My card today is featuring the new Beauty Within from the August 2020 Summer Nights release. This stamp set is absolutely gorgeous! I paired it with the newly released With Deepest Sympathy stamp set. For my medium I choose to watercolor the image with Altenew inks and my Karin brush markers.

Altenew - August 2020 Summer Nights Release The background for the card was created using the Doodled Dots Cover plate. I kept my palette all white which allowed the florals to be the main focus. Here are some close up shots of the card. For some added depth, I sponged on some buttercup ink onto the background to add a highlight behind the flowers.

My Sweet Petunia/Pink Fresh Studio Blog Hop

August 7, 2020

Hey everyone. Today I’m participating in the My Sweet Petunia and Pink Fresh studio blog hop. There are amazingly talented people on this hop full of inspiration.

My cards today feature products from Pink Fresh Studio. Of course I would not have been able to create such beautiful cards without my handy Misti stamping tool. My first card I used the Take Pride stamp set and the Botanical Circle from Pink Fresh Studio. Using my Misti I double stamped the image to achieve a rich black image. Next I pulled out my Copics and colored pencils to fill in my flowers.

Once I was complete with the coloring I fussy cut out the image. I placed the Botanical Circle dies onto a piece of card stock and ran it through my die cutting machine to emboss the image onto to the card stock. Placing my floral image onto with foam dots for added dimension. Adhered this panel to a white card base ad added a few enamel dots using my nuvo drops.

My next card features the gorgeous Scripted Bold Sentiments 1 stamp set from Pink Fresh Studio. I pulled out my Misti to stamp the large hooray onto black card stock with versa mark ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with gold embossing powder and heat set it. Once completely heated, I fussy cut the sentiment out.

The background of my card was created using gold striped vellum paper. I think this makes a striking background for my sentiment. Die cutting the vellum and a black piece of cardstock with a stitched die finishes off the boarder of my panels. I popped up the sentiment and added a few nuvo drops to pull in the white from the card base.

My Sweet Petunia and Pink Fresh Studio are each giving away a $50 shopping spree. Make sure to comment along the hop for your chance to win. Winners will be announced on the My Sweet Petunia and Pink Fresh Studio blogs next Friday. Good luck everyone.

Simon Says Stamp – Let’s Connect Release

August 6, 2020

Today I’m sharing some products from the Simon Says Stamp- Let’s Connect release. This release is full of crafty happiness. Let’s take a look at my cards for today.

My first card is featuring the new Detail Petals Plate from Simon Says Stamp. This cover plate is wonderful for creating simple backgrounds for your cards. I also used the new Congrats Word Mix 2 stamp set. The colors of ink I used on this stamp are Simon Says Stamp duckling, catkin and cloudy Sky.

To create the petals on my card, I simply ran another piece of paper with the plate through my die cutting machine. I fussy cut some of the leaves and sponged on the coordinating ink color I used on the sentiment.

For the center of my flowers I used beautiful gems fro Little Lucy’s clear iridescent mix.

For my next card I used the Detail Floral Ring also from Simon Says Stamp. This ring is perfect for a focal point on your card. I die cut it from a piece an alcohol ink background I had already in my stash. Alcohol ink backgrounds are a super easy way to spice up a card. For added dimension I popped up my floral ring and stamped a simple sentiment from the Congrats Word Mix 2 stamp set in the center.

Adding just a few sequins completed this card.

All products used for these cards are listed below. Thanks for stopping by today. Swing by tomorrow as I will have another card from the Let’s Connect release. Have a great day.

Concord & 9th Featured Friday – Color Spectrum

July 31, 2020

Hey everyone. Today is my last Featured Friday for the month of July for Concord & 9th. I’m using a color spectrum approach to my card. Ever wish you knew what colors would look great together? Let me help you out. When choosing colors, make sure they look cohesive together. The undertones of each color should be similar.

As you can see by the stripes on my card, I made sure that all the colors were in the same hue. No one color overpowers the other. Now let me say this, it’s sooo easy to do with the new inks and papers from Concord and 9th. The hues of these colors work perfectly together.

I used the Thank You stamp set from Concord and 9th for the stripes on my card. Switching out each stripe in a different colors adds such a striking background. Using a simple yet effect pattern over the stipe lines adds texture to the card. To keep the sentiment clean and simple, I used the Double Cut Alphabet in the same colors are the stripes. I popped up each letter on fun foam to get each letter some height.

All products used on this card are listed below. Affiliate links are used at no cost to you. Thanks for much for stopping by today. See you back here soon.
