Add a Little Glitz

Hello friends!

Once in a while, a new product came around and it makes you want to go a bit more bold.

Along came the Wild Leopard Stencil.....
(please see the products listed at the end of this post)

I actually had a wild time creating with this stencil. 

To start, I stamped Halftone Watercolor in Antique Gold Pigment Ink. 

I then created a glitzy panel with Embossing Paste and Glitter. Once that was done and completely dry, I stamped the sentiment. It is now a very wild card with a bold sentiment!

How do you like it? Different, right? But I like it!

A Simple Card With Washi Tape And a Die

Hello friends!
For the Stencils, Decals and Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop, please click HERE.

It has been a while since I made a CAS with Washi Tape.

I am sharing one with this gorgeous Misty Meadow Washi Tape

If you love green, gold and elegance, this Washi Tape is for you.

 I am using Pressed Leaf Die for my example.

As you can see, there is little stamping required with this card. The Pressed Leaf Die allows the partial die-cutting and that itself is quite intricate already.


The Washi Tape is just the right size for covering the entire card front.

I merely dressed up the leaf stem with gold sequins and stamped the sentiment with "Sentiment Strips Stamp Set".

 The best thing about this design is that it can be for all occasion/gender and it sure will brighten up someone's day!

Lastly, here is a chance to grab a few Washi Tape of your choice!

Altenew February 2020 Stencil/Decals/Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop

Hello friends!
Warning: Super-heavy photo post

Yay, it's February Stencils, Decals and Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop from Altenew!
I am super excited to share 4 projects as I was having so much fun creating.
If you arrive from the fabulous Mindy Eggen's blog, you are in the right place!

All the details about this blog hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog

First up, let's start with my favorite dies from this release!

#1 Feature products: Dotted Starburst Debossing Cover Die, Nesting Frame Dies 

This gorgeous cover die can be used in many creative ways. 
I applied the "Spotlighting" and "Inlaid/Stacked Die-cutting techniques into this card.

 

I lightly colored the focal point with Altenew Artist Markers and inked up the edges with Sea Breeze. The sentiment is from Ornamental Bliss Stamp Set.

If you are wondering how I got the blue ink onto the cover plate, please come back for a simple tutorial in upcoming weeks!! 

#2 Feature products:  Hand-Drawn Tile Stencil
 
 
This stencil not only comes in as TILES, it also has some beautiful borders. You are not limited to just create the tile look because you can use it for borders and frames. 
 

For my focal point, I tiled the stencil and applied Altenew Embossing Paste first. I then added Nuvo Pure Sheen Gold Glitter over and that's it!

 

The Scrip Words Die Set was used in this card and next (4th ) card.
#3 Feature products: Tranquil Wings Stencil 
 

I love adding gradient effect with stencils. This Tranquil Wings Stencil is perfect for that.

 

The Painted Orchid Washi Tape was adhered at the bottom and I ran the Dotted Swirls Dobossing Cover Die (one of my favorite) and did the "Partial-Die-cutting". 


 
I added some details and shine with Crystal Stickles.
 


#4 Feature products:  Fine Frame Square Dies, Open Blooms 3D Die Set
 


This clean and simple card has all the lovely elements thanks to the well thought-out dies.


The 3D flowers were created with Cherry Blossom and Green Meadow Gradient Card Stock.


 I hope you enjoy seeing the new products and get some inspiration from the blog hop.
