Feature products #1: Rose Mellow Stencil Set (3 in 1), Crystal Wall 3D Embossing Folder

 

 

Layered Stencils are all the rage! These stencils are super easy to work with and the results are amazing.

 

 

 It is a great way to use all your ink to create flower images.

 

The added textures from  Crystal Wall 3D Embossing Folder and Blue Turquoise Glitter-stock 

make the design pop.

 

 

 

 Feature products #2: Pots and Plants Stamp & Die Bundle, Woven Basket 3D Embossing Folder

 

 

 The Woven Basket 3D Embossing Folder provides the perfect backdrop for the Pots & Plants Stamp & Die Bundle.
 

 

 I did a Partial Inlaid Die-cutting with the the Woven Basket 3D Embossing Folder.  I also stamped the background and popped up the entire image.


 

Feature products #3: All Things Sweet Stamp & Die Bundle, Altenew Blends 6x6 Paper Pack


 

My color inspiration came from the Altenew Blends 6x6 Paper Pack. This paper is jam-packed with colorful and vibrant color paper.

 

 

 The stamping of the Ice Cream Sundae is made easy since the layered stamping provides so much details and depth.

 

 

The best part is to create your own yummy ice cream creations without any calories!

 

  

 

Feature products #4: Colorful Soul Stamp & Die Bundle


 

This set of stamps are a pure light to stamp and to look at!

 

 

The depth and colors of these flowers are simply eye-catching.

 

I stamped as many as I can with bright color combo. I also love the sentiment in this stamp set!

Spellbinders December Small Die of the Month

 Hello friends!

I am popping in to share a new project with Spellbinders Small Die of The Month. 

This month's "Sketched Florals & Frame" small die set is perfect for making cards, decor, and more.

Membership Includes:

• Exclusive Set of Small Versatile Dies that cut, emboss, deboss and stencil. Size is similar to Die D-Lites. $27 Value!

• Member Benefits & Savings: Receive exclusive member pricing in the Spellbinders store. Plus receive access to deals, savings, and gifts - only available to members.
  

 

 

 This set of dies come with flowers, leaves and a large frame. The outline dies are so fine and delicate.

 

 

 I used the pattern paper (from this month's Card Kit) and made the die cut for the frame.

 

 

 I then layered up gold foil paper and outline die.

 

 

 

 This truly is a fun way to create. I love using pattern paper because everything is matched in colors and designs are cohesive that way.

 

  

 

 The sentiment (ephemera) from the card kit makes this easy to complete.

 Thanks for stopping by!

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Queen of the Lilies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 Happy December, my friends!

It's time to share another exciting Altenew Build-A-Flower with you.
We are celebrating this month's Build-A-Flower Queen of the Lilies with a blog hop!

Build-A-Flower: Queen of the Lilies Product Description: This stamp set features 8 layers to create gorgeously detailed Queen of the Lilies flowers. You will also find a couple of leaves with an outline layer, a full-color layer, and a color shading layer for beautiful stamping possibilities. Stamp one of the sweet sentiments to finish your card or layout.

 

If you arrive from the blog of Jenny Colacicco, you are in the right place.

If not, come and join the fun hop for ideas and inspiration. 

This Queen of Lilies is like no other. Everything about this stamp set is divine!

I chose to use shades of blue to compliment the gold and white. I think the color combination gives the design an allure of sophistication.

I relied heavily on the Enchanted Gold Pigment Ink. By stamping it with MISTI, I was able to achieve a very defined gold outline. You can absolutely gold-emboss the outlines, too! 

 

To make the background more interesting, I partially dry-embossed the white card-stock with Buffalo Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. 

Ding---> you get way more mileage if you simply use just part of an embossing folder! You can change up so much more by adding touches of textures. This partial use of EF doesn't overwhelm the overall design also. It's a win-win! 😀

 

Last but not least, the embellishment can elevate the design even more. The thin strip of Navy Gold Washi Tape,  Gold Metallic Thread and gold sequins truly take this card to a new level!  

I hope that you are enjoying this blog hop. Be sure to leave me a comment for a chance to win yourself an Altenew gift certificate!

Giveaway Prizes: $200 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $20 gift certificate to 5 winners!

A QUICK Christmas Card

 Hello friends!

I am popping in to share a quick Christmas card! Yesterday I found out my local library is calling a card drive of 1000. The collected and signed cards will be hand delivered to the local seniors. How awesome is that? 

With my father-in-law's passing this summer, I now no longer visit his retirement home and give out Christmas cards to the staff to show our appreciation. This library card will be the way of sharing my handmade cards. I manged to find 30 Christmas cards to donate so far...

 This card, as you can see, doesn't require any stamping or die-cutting. 

 The paper, ephemera and thicker are all part of the Joyful Christmas Card Kit.

 This set of cards from the Poinsettia die set (included in the kit) are my favorite.

  The pattern paper and ephemera are absolutely yummy!

I hope that you are having a great day and appreciate that you stop by! In case you miss the Black Friday deals, Spellbinders has some amazing door-buster deals that are still available (listed below). Some of the older Cart Kit are now marked down to $25 (regular price is $55). Each card sets come with cardstock, envelopes, stamps, dies, foam tape, a roll of adhesive tape stickers, ..... and more. $25 is definitely worth it!

Shape Cards That You Can Make in Minutes!

Hello friends!

It's my turn to share a project with you over Altenew Card Blog.  I am delighted to share a shape card project with you. Shape cards are simply eye-catching and playful. Today's post is to show you how easy it is to mass product these super cute shape cards in minutes!

The Home Sweet Home stamp set comes with a sweet house shape and is perfect for creating a shape card. 

I started out with creating a colorful background with Altenew Pigment Ink.

 

 you can use the "Ink to Paper" approach by swiping pigment ink directly to paper. I used a Gel Plate and brayer to spread out the ink. The Altenew Pigment Ink are rich and vibrant and cane be easily mixed.

 Once I finished inking the paper and let dry. I then stamped the houses with Jet Black Pigment Ink and die cut them all.

  I die cut 6 more pieces of house on Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock (110 lbs). To create a fold on top, I scored a straight line at the half inch mark with Crafter's Essential Bone Folder. Once you applied the 2 in 1 Glue Pen, you have a house shape card!

 To make the houses even "funner", I added the silver glittery clouds with Dazzling Diamond Glitter Cardstock.

 This is a fun project to do with the special little ones in your life. Imagine that you can use them as gift tags, house-warming card, hostess card sets, thank you cards, placement cards...etc. You can even create a Christmas village! I hope that you are inspired by these houses of cards!
