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.
