For my card today, I used the new Fluttering Butterflies Bold Print along with a Butterfly Hero Transfer with the new Butterfly Fancy Dies. By stamping and heat embossing the bold print onto Hero Arts Black Watercolor paper, I was able to add shimmery watercolors to really make this card pop. The addition of be beautiful butterfly and sentiment make this cards so stunning!

For this card, I pulled the colors from the butterfly to make the background.

 

Here is the tutorial for today’s card. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel.

 

For my next card, I used the stamp Fluttering Butterflies Bold Print but this time I stamped it in three shades of brown onto the Colors Of The Earth cardstock. For an extra pop of interest, I used the Nesting Oval Infinity dies to die cut a oval into the patterned cardstock so I could add a sparkly gold frame. By also laying a sentiment from the Empowerment Stamp set and popping that up with a gold sparkly backer, this card is absolutely stunning!

 

Look how pretty those butterflies are.

Holiday Card Series 2022 – Day 4 Faux Dip Dye

November 14, 2022

Hello everyone. Welcome to Day 4 of the Holiday Card Series. We are working on faux dip dye today. I have watched Kristina Werner do this one her holiday cards and I love it. So I took the brave step and decided to give it a try for the holiday card series.

Holiday Card Series 2022 Faux Dip Dye

This process for this technique is really simple. By adjusting the amount of water and watercolor paint you can make a beautiful gradient card. Also to deepen up a color,  add black a little at a time to get the color you are looking for.

Holiday Card Series 2022 Day 3: Metallic Watercolors

November 11, 2022

Nothing makes my heart happier than metallic watercolors on black cardstock. Iuile watercolors are now one of my favorite watercolors. They are so shimmery and look magnificent applied to cards or in this case tags. These beautiful stars are from the Simon Says Stamp Peace On Earth stamp set.

 

Holiday Card Series 2022 Day 3 Metallic Watercolor Tags

A simple sentiment that is not oversized works wonderfully on the tags. By keeping the sentiment on black cardstock, it matching with the tag and does not compete with it.

Holiday Card Series 2022 Day 3 Metallic Watercolors

Okay on to the tutorial. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel.

Here is the bonus card I mentioned in the video. This card was made using the same stamp set. For this card I did no-line watercoloring on the angel and I’m in love with the way it came out.

Remember you can find more holiday inspiration here on the blog by clicking this link. That’s a wrap for today. Have a fantastic weekend and I’ll see you back here soon!

August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop

August 4, 2022

Welcome to the Altenew August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop & Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Tania’s blog. Be bold, and be beautiful! This release includes fabulous florals, a geometric background, and even a set of sentiments perfect for the bibliophile in your life! We know you will love creating all kinds of inspiring projects with the stamps, dies, stencils, and embossing folders in this release. It’s time to get crafty!

This release was really fun to play with so let’s get into the cards. I made a load of cards today so I’ll start with the one I made the tutorial for. This card I’m featuring the Altenew Linear Lines. A beautiful background stamp that makes any card look marvelous. You can heat emboss, stamp or make a simple watermark on a card with this great stamp.

Altenew August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop

Within the tutorial you will see how simple this card came together with just a bit of gold embossing powder. A simple sentiment from the stamp set along with the Altenew Just Leaves dies really finished off this card nicely.

Altenew August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop

You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you. (Some items were substituted in the product links are some products were no longer available.)

Next let’s take a look at the card I made using the new Altenew Arch of Flowers stamp set and coordinating die. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set. As you can see from below I made three cards using it.

This card made using the Altenew Arch of Flowers stamp set and Altenew Alcohol Makers on pink cardstock. Starting out by stamping the image on pink cardstock in black ink, I then colored the image. Using pink cardstock my background color was already there. Make sure to use marker colors that won’t look muddy or won’t look good with an undertone of pink. I die cut the image again and colored just a few flowers and leaves.

By fussy cutting out just a few of the flowers and leaves, dimension was added when I popped them up on the card. Soft pearls and faux white stitching using a white gelly roll pen was a small addition I thought the card needed. Keeping a clean sentiment was perfect for this card and a simple white card base.

For my next card, I used the coordinating Arch of Flowers Simple Coloring Stencil with my Altenew inks. For a dramatic shading, I used the markers close in color to draw a thick outline around the flowers and leaves. Again I used the coordinating Arch of Flowers die to I could pop the flowers. To keep the card simple, a stenciled card base using the Altenew Mighty Corners stencil in a light warm gray on a white card base made the flowers really stand out. A simple hello was all this card needed for a sentiment.

Now for this card. I REALLY wanted to see what this would look like on black watercolor paper embossed in gold. And oh my WORD!!! I used metallic watercolors and I have to say, this is my favorite card. The sentiment is from the Altenew One Go Birthday Greetings.

And for my final card, the Altenew Intricate Mandala stencil was used with shades of  pink, yellow and aqua inks. Adding a top layer of  sparkle paste set these colors nicely. Next it was time to fussy cut this mandala out and place it on a black card panel. A simple birthday greeting from the Altenew One Go Birthday Greeting stamp set with the coordinating die was placed on top of the mandala. I added white dots around the mandala and at the top and bottom of the cardstock. I placed this onto a white card base and added just a few gems to finish off the card.

Let’s talk about the giveaway. To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! That’s a total of $300 in prizes. Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 08/10/2022 for a chance to win.
