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.

Hero Arts Birthday Balloon Bold Prints Card

June 25, 2021

Hey everyone. I’ve shared two days of easy birthday cards and today I have one more for you. This card is very clean and simple as the sentiment give us our pop of color. The Hero Arts Birthday Balloon Bold Print and the Hero Arts Birthday Messages Stamp and Cut XL work perfectly for these quick cards you need asap.

When there isn’t any time to color, grab a colorful background to create your sentiment. I had this alcohol ink background sitting in a drawer waiting to be placed on a card. Using the die from the Birthday Message Stamp and Cut XL, I die cut it from the panel. Stacking several of the sentiments on top of each other gave my card a little height. Remember stacking your sentiments with dove white cardstock is a great way instead of using foam tape.

Again a simple black and white backgound and the card is complete. Birthday Balloons Bold Print for the win!

I have several alcohol ink backgrounds to use up and what a perfect way to spice up my birthday sentiments. Products are listed below for your shopping ease. Thanks for checking out the blog post today. If you missed the post with the Hero Arts Bunch Of Balloons and the Hero Arts Birthday Borders Fancy Die, click the links. Have a great day everyone and see you back here soon.

Hero Arts Birthday Border Fancy Die

June 24, 2021

Hey everyone. I promised more birthday cards this week so here’s another quick one. Using a cover die or border die is a great way to make a quick card. The design element is already there for you all you need is a sentiment. Check out this card I made using the Hero Arts Birthday Border Fancy die.

Keeping this card super simple with just a ombre-ish background panel of Hero Arts Lemon Drop, Key Lime Fizz and Pool Party Reactive inks. Using the Hero Arts Blending Brushes made this background perfect to make for this card.

For added dimension, I did cut the border die two times and adhered them together with Hero Arts Precision Glue.

I’m not sure you can see it in the photo but for a tad bit of shimmer on the card, I used the Hero Arts Iridescent Shimmer Spray. I love this stuff as it’s so sparkly and pretty.

Products are linked below for your shopping convenience. Make sure to swing by tomorrow for another day of birthday cards featuring Hero Arts. Have a great day everyone.

Hero Arts Bunch Of Balloons Birthday Card

June 23, 2021

Hey everyone. I’m back sharing some quick and easy birthday cards using the Hero Arts Bunch Of Balloons Stamp set and the coordinating Bunch Of Balloons Fancy Cut. Having extra birthday cards on hand are a must in my house. I always seem to need one when I least expect it.

The Bunch of Balloons stamp set pairs perfectly with the Hero Arts Birthday Balloons Bold Print background stamp. I created two cards in different color palettes using just my Copic markers as my coloring medium. Keeping the background just black and white or gray and white lets the balloons really pop!

The Copics I used from this card were R08, YR04, Y35, B04, N2 and N3. The colored cardsock is Hero Arts Cherry.

Gina K. Designs June 2021 Release

June 9, 2021

Hello everyone. Welcome to the June 2021 Gina K Designs release. I’m thrilled to be sharing a few cards with you today. The stamp set I’m featuring is the Caring Flowers. I love this stamp set for this beautiful floral image and the wonderful sentiments. During times in our lives we have a tendency to place ourselves last if we need help or just a break. The sentiments in the stamp set remind us that self care is also important.

For my first card I really wanted to pull back out my watercolors and really play with them. The watercolors I used today are from Daniel Smith. To get some of that great details in the flowers I used a glass calligraphy pen. Be still my heart this pen really helps to add details to watercolored images.

For my second card I pulled out my well used and loved Copic Markers. To keep the card clean and bold, I only colored the flowers and left the rest of the image black and white. I love doing this with flowers or floral images as it really makes a striking card.

The beautiful paper behind the flower is Gina K. Designs Mango card stock. How yummy does it look with these Copic colors.

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure to swing by Gina K Designs shop to pick up this month’s release. You are really going to love it! Have a great day everyone.
