Heffy Doodle Blog Hop

Hello and welcome! I am super excited to share the Heffy Doodle Release 5 with you all along with some of the team and our special guests. It's packed with wonderful products and there is something for everyone :) 
You should have arrived here from Koren Wiskman's blog.


For today, I have 2 cards to share with you using the fun new products.
Card 1
I used the Stargazer backdrop die to die cut the panel and sponged it using distress inks. I then applied snow using the First Snow stencil and let it dry. I then die cut the hills using the stitched Slopey Joes border dies and sponged the edges. I then applied some white puff twinkle embossing powder by WOW! and heat set it.
I then stamped, colored the images from Santa's Village and Wanna Build a Snowman stamp set. I then fussy cut them and adhered everything to the card panel. I then adhered the panel to a white cardbase.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Heffy Cuts: Merry and Christmas, dabbed Delicata gold ink to it and adhered it to the card.



Card 2

I started with creating my background using some acrylic paints and let it dry. I then applied embossing paste through the StarFall stencil. I then stamped and colored the images using Santa's Village stamp set and die cut them using the co-ordinating dies. I masked the sentiment from the Holiday Sentiment Duos stamp set, stamped and embossed it onto a black stripe. I adhered the sentiment stripe after lining it with gold glitter paper.
To finish, I added some puff paint to the santa's hat and the roof.

Altenew Dynamic Die Cutting Blog Hop + Giveaway - Guest


Hello and welcome everyone! I am super delighted to be a part of the Dynamic Die Cutting blog hop over at Altenew.
You must have come here from the talented Sara Naumann's blog. If not then hop over to the Altenew Card Blog to begin the hop.

For today, I decided to use one die and created 3 cards using 3 different techniques. There were so many dies to choose from but I picked the Layered Medallion Cover Die B. There is also a bundle available for this die with both A and B dies. They can be layered to get beautiful look. Check out HERE to see all the wonderful dies.

For my first card, I embossed the background using the Layered Medallion Cover Die B instead of cutting using the die. I then sponged some distress inks to add color to it.
I then sponged the same yellow ink onto a scrap piece of cardstock and die-cut the "HUGS" from the Script Words Die. I die cut the same using black cardstock too. I then stacked them together and added some glossy accent to it. I used the sentiment "sending lots of" from the Heart Flowers Stamp and embossed it using WOW! opaque white embossing powder



For my 2nd. card, I die cut a white panel using  the Layered Medallion Cover Die B. I then applied versamark ink to it and added WOW! Embossing powders in Vintage Peacock, Spring Breeze, Totally Teal. I then stamped the word "Awesome" from the Super script stamp and die cut it using the Super Script die. I adhered this whole panel to a white cardbase. Love the sparkle and glitter and I am sure it will brighten your day too :)



For my last card, I colored the vellum using distress inks in various colors. I then die cut the vellum using the Layered Medallion Cover Die B. I really like the soft look of vellum. I then stamped the word "Celebrate" from Super Script stamp and die cut it using the Super Script die. I adhered the vellum to the white cardbase and then adhered the sentiment.


Hope you enjoyed the different techniques using the same die. The next stop on the hop is the super talented
Agnieszka Malyszek's blog.

Heffy Doodle Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome! I am super excited to share the Heffy Doodle Release 5 with you all. It's packed with wonderful products and there is something for everyone :)

There are so many wonderful stencils and stand alone dies too and which is what I decided to use today. I used the Holiday Sentiment Duo stamp set,  Basket Case Stencil, Forest Builder Dies and the Metric Stitched Rectangle Dies....WHAT???? Yessss! This is what I was struggling the most with. Now we have the dies for EU/European size papers too. YAY!!!!

I have 2 Autumn themed cards for you using the same supplies but with a totally different result.

Card 1

 I am enjoying creating shaker cards these days and this die was screaming for it...lol. I started by applying various distress inks using the Basket Case Stencil. I then die-cut the panel using the Metric Stitched Rectangle Dies. I then die-cut the panel using the biggest of the trees from Forest Builder Dies. I then applied versamark ink to the tree trunk and embossed it using WOW! Platinum embossing powder. I then adhered clear acetate at the back side of this piece and then applied 3 d foam to create a window for the shaker. I filled some mix sequins and backed this piece with an ink sponged white panel. 
Now, I stamped the sentiment using StazOn black ink onto a stripe of vellum and adhered to the mat layer and adhered the tree trunk too. Finally, I adhered this piece to a kraft cardstock.
Here is a close up for you.


Card 2


For this card, I applied the same distress inks onto the Basket Case Stencil, spritzt some water to it and used it as a stamp. I really love this technique and you can call it my go to technique when it comes to stencils. I then die-cut the trees from Forest Builder Dies and applied a wash of distress inks. Once dry, I applied some deco foil transfer adhesive and applied Heidi Swapp Rose Gold foil to it. Love the effect. I then die-cut the stenciled mat layer using the Metric Stitched Rectangle Dies.
 I masked the sentiment partially from the Holiday Sentiment Duo stamp set, stamped using versamark ink and embossed it using WOW! Platinum embossing powder from Altenew. Finally, I adhered everything to the cardbase.


Prize:
A random winner will be selected for a £50 gift certificate to the Heffy Doodle store. To be eligible, leave comments across the entire blog hop by 11:59 PM PST on 22nd October 2018. Winners will be announced on the Heffy Doodle Blog on 24th October 2018.
