I made two cards for your dose of inspiration today. The first one I think is my favorite. I love the bright flowers against this black background. It truly makes the flowers pop! The stencils makes coloring the image so easy. The card panel started out white. I used a black Copic marker to fill in around the image to make the drastic change in color.

For this card, I used the embossing folder in the kit. I ran the embossing folder through my die cutting machine. Next I pulled out some chalks I had to add the color. Lastly I fussy cut around the image, and popped it up on a onto a kraft card base. All that was left was a simple sentiment and some nuvo drops in white and this card was complete.

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Daffodil & Glitter Cardstock Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

July 7, 2021

Welcome to the Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Daffodil & Glitter Cardstock Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. Today is an exciting day. The Craft-A-Flower Daffodil and new glitter cardstock is beautiful. I’m sharing a card using the Craft-A-Flower Daffodil.

The daffodil is certainly the star of my card. Keeping the card clean and simple allows for the pop of color from the flower to really shine. Using a simple sentiment and grounding the flower by using an embossing folder on the bottom half of the card works.

A simple sentiment and nuvo drops really finish off the clean look of the card.

Altenew Eclectic Vibes Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

July 5, 2021

Welcome to the Altenew Eclectic Vibes Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. I’m so glad you stopped by today. I’m joining the wonderful design team sharing inspiration for the new release from Altenew. You should have arrived here from Norine’s blog. Let’s see what I have for you today.

The hop is full of eclectic vibes and I’m feeling a throw back coming your way. I’m an 80’s kid and skating on Friday nights was the thing to do? Did you roller-skate every Friday night? Man those are great memories.

My card today is featuring the new Vintage Vibes stamp set , Vintage Vibes coordinating die and the Vintage Vibes Coloring Stencil. This roller skate stamp set has my heart. It’s perfect for those throw back cards and also for cards for teens today. Rollerskating is making a comeback and I’m excited. I know I can’t skate like I used to but hey I can still roll with the best of them.

Pulling out some pastel ink colors I created this 80’s inspired card. The ink colors I used are listed below in the links. Using the die cut I was able to create a pair of skates to flank my pastel one. Oh I’m so loving this card.

For my next card I used the Just A Number stamp set and Just A Number coordinating die. Need to make a quick and easy birthday card? This stamp set is for you. I pulled out the Poured Acrylic 6×6 paper pad for this one. The die cut sentiment was cut out of inked white card stock in Coral Berry ink and layered on white card stock. A birthday sentiment from the stamp set was heat embossed onto black card stock.

Such a striking birthday card with very little effort. You can even use the sentiments inside of a card if you wish.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Bearded Iris Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

July 1, 2021

Good morning everyone. Welcome to the Altenew Build-A-Flower: Bearded Iris Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived her from Carol Hintermeier‘s blog.There is incredible inspiration on this hop so make sure to visit everyone and leave a comment.

Now for my card I pulled out all the shades of blue. I love how this card came out and the simple beauty of this Bearded Iris stamp set. Using the blue kept my card more on the cool side of the color spectrum. There might not be a lot of blue flowers in nature and I’m sure the Bearded Iris is not blue but remember, this is your own art. You make it whatever color you like. If you are looking for the most elegant and realistic iris, you are in the right place! This stamp set prominently features a gorgeous bearded iris outline with four additional coloring layers, along with its stems and leaves. You may use the other iris outline as background foliage, or simply add it to floral arrangements stamped as is or colored in with your favorite coloring medium.

As you can see in the photo I used all Altenew inks from the Northern Shores Mini Cube set in the follow colors Icy Water, Winter Lake, Arctic Mountain. I pulled these colors from the Altenew 6×6 A Love Of Stripes Set D.

With adding just a touch of gold to the card using the Altenew Navy and Gold Trim Washi tape and some gold baubles my card was complete.

Next on the hop is Nathalie DeSousa. Don’t forget the giveaway.

Altenew Suddenly Spring Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway($300 in Total Prizes)

April 19, 2021

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Altenew Suddenly Spring Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. Thrilled to be on the hop with everyone. You should have arrived here from Theresa’s blog. I have several card examples for you today. This release was so much fun to create with.

My first card features the beautiful Altenew Mini Flower cluster and Slim Sentiments dies. The Slim Sentiments die is actually one line of text however I trimmed between the words to stack my sentiment. And the flower clusters are gorgeous for a pretty spring card.

The second card I created I used the Whimsical layering Gardening die along with the Circular Elements dies. I loved pairing these two die sets together. Using my Altenew alcohol makers I colored in the first layer of the flower and to add a striking flower I decided to outline the flower with black card stock. What a WOW factor having that graphic black outline. The sentiment is from the Inspiration Quotes stamp set.

And for my last card, a gorgeous white on white card is beautiful. Adding just a touch of color for my sentiment and this card was complete. It really can’t get more clean and simple than this. I love the texture of the Reflections die! The sentiment is from the Poppy Arrangement Floral Outline stamp set.

Now for the fun part. Here are TWO ways to get a FREEBIE to kickstart your creativity! Free gift will be added to cart automatically.
