Layered Stencils

Hello friends!

I am back with the layering stencils that was released yesterday. I simply had too many projects and couldn't share them all in one post! 

Meadow Burst Layering Stencil

Here is the one I made with the Fabulous Flora Embossing Folders/Stencil release.

 

There are all kinds of layering stencils. This particular kind allows you to add more and more branches and details with each stencil.

 The price point is higher, however, it is the detailed stencil what makes this set so special. Basically, I took out all my favorite shades of green, pink, yellow and orange. Why not!?

This is the time to make great use of all your inks! If you line up each stencil as you go, you can actually mass produce cards with this set of stencils!

It was so therapeutic to play with this set once you see it got layered up. I hope that you like my project today. Be sure to check out yesterday's post and leave me a comment for your chance to win $20- $50 Altenew Gift Card! Thanks for stopping by!

Altenew Fabulous Flora Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

 Hello friends!

Warning: Super-heavy photo post 

Welcome to Altenew Fabulous Flora Collection Release Blog Hop ! This hop is about Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folder release.  I am super excited to share 4 projects with you. If you arrive from the blog of Colleen Balija, you are in the right place!
All the details about this blog hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog 

Feature products #1: Curving Leaves 3D Embossing folder, Lovely Daisy Die Set, Sentiment Banners Cover Die Set, Sentiment Strip 3 Stamp Set

 

As you can see that the vellum panel was dry-embossed. After running this Curving Leaves 3D Embossing folder through the die cut machine, I inked up the alcohol ink.

 

The stamped sentiment with cute Sentiment Banners Cover Die Set is simply perfect in this.

 

Feature products #2: Fringe 3D Embossing Folder, Essential Sentiment Strip Die Set

 

 

This Fringe Embossing Folder makes you want to party, party, party!

 

 

I inked up each section with various colors. For the extra fun factor, I trimmed and cut up the end part into tiny strips. 

 

I then took out my Quilling Tool and curved up each piece in various curls.  It does take some effort to curl up the pieces, but I love the result and thought it was  "worth it"!

Feature products #3: Loving Birds 3D Embossing Folder, Mega Stamp Frames Die, Sentiment Strips Stamp Set 3

 

 

 This Loving bird image is absolutely darling and can be used all year round. I applied various ink to the embossing folder and loved how it turned out!

 

 

 I framed the entire image with "Mega Frame Die Set".

 

 The sentiment " I love you just the way you are" from "Sentiment Strips 3"  fit perfectly in this. 

Feature products #4: Ixora 3D Embossing Folder, Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set , Sentiment Strips 3 Stamp Set

 

 This embossing folder is simply exquisite! After dry-embossed it, I applied the silver metallic paint (from Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set)

 

 

The sheen from the coloring looks absolutely amazing.

I then used the gold and green and highlighted the flower center and leaves.

 

 If you love elegant style, the Ixora 3D Embossing Folder should be on your must/wish list!

Are you still here!? What do you think? Do you have a favorite? I can't decide since each embossing folder has its special image and design!

Use Your Pattern Paper for Diecutting

Hello friends!

I am back again with Be Bold Blooms Etched Dies.

 

About this die set: This Be Bold Blooms Etched Dies is part of the Be Bold Collection. The set of 21 thin metal dies creates a fabulous spray of big and bold blooms! Use some or all of them, it goes well with any type of projects that calls for a wonderful floral motif! 

 Have you tried diecutting with pattern paper?  It is one of my favorite things to do. The pattern paper makes diecutting easy and fun.

 For the framing, I am using the die from Geo Foliage Glimmer Hot Foil and Die Set. This set comes with 10 beautiful dies and 11 hot foil plates. If you have a Glimmer Hot Foil Machine, this is definitely a set to be considered.

  The pattern paper I used is from This month's January Card Kit. Isn't that font beautiful? The sentiment is from Yana Smukula's Layered Script Sentiment.

  I also used the new Spellbinders Gemstones. These new and improved gems are shiny and dimensional! You want instant bling? This is it!

Spellbinders offers "Feel The Love Sale". If you are looking for love/Valentine's themed products, this is a great chance to acquire a few! Check out my blog post HERE for more details.

FEEL The Love Inspiration

Hello friends!

I hope your Friday is a great one so far. I decided to do a brief reviews on my projects based on love/Valentine's themed. I am focusing the products from Spellbinders. Currently, Spellbinders is running a "Feel The Love" sales offer.  

This card has a base plate and that makes it super easy to assemble. The peeking out flowers are extra shiny and firm thanks to the Glossy Accent.

Another take with the SAME die.

 This Trefoil Panel and Tile do all the work! All you need to do is die cut and assemble.

Changing up the colors and embellishments give you a total different feel! 

If you have a soft spot for birdies, Vickie P's collection is not to be missed.

 If you love the look of love notes, the Sincerely Yours Card Kit is the ticket!

 The Heart Hand Collection has a huge markdown is is worth checking out!

These delicate die can be the focal point of part of a border design.
