Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Dahlia Bright Eyes Outline Stamp Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($200 in Total Prizes)

Hello and welcome everyone for the Paint-A-Flower: Dahlia Bright Eyes Outline stamp set release blog hop by Altenew.

You might have come here from Terri Koszler's blog.

I created this card for you today using the Dahlia Bright Eyes stamp. To enhance the image, I created the background using alcohol inks.

I stamped the image onto copic friendly cardstock using memento black ink and then colored the image using copic markers. This is a perfect image to add color to, in many different ways. Cut the image using a sharp pair of scissors.

I used shades of blue, green and pink alcohol inks to create the background. Adhere the image using 3d tape.

Stamp the sentiment from the Label Love stamp onto pink cardstock. Add some floss behind the sentiment stripe and adhere to the card.

Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Never Stop Dreaming Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Hello and welcome to the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Never Stop Dreaming release Blog Hop by Altenew. I love how everything is so well coordinated. The 3d embossing folder really give beautiful results and the stencils make it color easily.

You might have come here from Colleen Balija's blog.

Never stop dreaming! This stamp set features a stunning arrangement of flowers, leaves, and a sweet little bud. Color it in with your favorite mediums, with or without the help of the coordinating Simple Coloring Stencil. The sentiments offer words of encouragement and can be mixed and matched for the perfect message. Use the other elements included in the project kit to complete the look.

I have two cards for you today.

For the first card, I used the crisp dye inks to sponge some inks onto white cardstock. Now run this piece through the bigshot machine using the 3D embossing folder. Love love the details I got. Gently rub white pigment ink to this piece so the raised ares will catch the ink. Sprinkle WOW! clear sparkle embossing glitter and heat emboss. This give a beautiful glittery shine to some of the raised areas.

Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock. Die-cut it using the shaped die. Now keeping the die in it's place sponge some inks to match the mat layer. Adhere to the card using 3d foam.

For the next card, I took a deep red card layer, sponged some midnight violet crisp and a bit of blak ink to the edges. Sponge the violet ink through the Sketched Lines Stencil. Stamp the floral image using the Platinum embossing powder. Add in the color using the stencils. Add details using the white gel pen.

Stamp and emboss the sentiment using the Platinum embossing powder. Adhere to the card using 3d foam and to finish some sequins.

Heffy Doodle - To A Deer Friemd

Hello everyone!Today, I am sharing a fun and cute card using a mix of stamps, dies and stencil on the Heffy Doodle blog.

I started by creating a background by sponging kitsch flamingo distress through the Scribble On My Heart stencil. Dab the ink pad to the craft mat, flick water using a wet brush.

Die-cut the tree trunk, greenery from the Tree-mendous Peekaboo Tree Dies, run the trunk through the die-cutting machine using the Woodgrain Texture Background die for a lovely texture. Sponge antique linen and vintage photo distress inks to the trunk. Sponge twisted citron and mowed lawn distress oxide inks to the greenery. Flick some ink for added texture.

Die-cut grass using the Grassy Lass border dies, sponge green distress oxide inks.

Stamp images, colour using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Nuts About You Stamp and Dies - bird feeder, birds

Deer To Me Stamp and Dies - Deer, sentiment

Quill You Be Mine Stamp and Dies - hedge hog, flowers, sentiment

Stamp the sentiments and assemble the card using 3d foam for added dimension.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a nice day!

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Narcissus Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($200 in total prizes)

Hello and welcome everyone to the release hop of the newest Build-A-Flower Narcissus from Altenew.

You might have come here from the lovely Erum Tasneem's blog.

The new BAF is these pretty Narcissus layering flowers. You can find more details, discounts and subscription details here.

Nothing says spring has sprung quite like an open daffodil bloom. This layering stamp set features an elegant narcissus in full bloom with a stem and leaf. The flower itself comprises eight detailed layers to give a beautifully realistic look to the bloom. Try using the leaf both ways on your projects to give variety, and stamp the accompanying heartwarming sentiments to inspire your loved ones.

I have two cards for you today. For the 1st. card I used the layering stamp as it gives a beautiful dimensional effect without much effort. I used Altenew crisp dye inks for the stamping and the 24 Artist pan colors for the background. I also used the embossing paste by Altenew.

For the 2nd. card, I used the outline image, stamped with versamark ink and embossed using white embossing powder. Color using watercolors.
