 Hello friends!

Welcome to Altenew x Hero Arts Stampwheel Collab Blog Hop! 

 

 I am super excited to share 2 projects with you. These two companies have a special place in my heart. I am beyond excited to be part of this collab blog hop. This is my last time to be part of the hop as a Altenew DT. I will always cherish the time I have while working with Altenew.

Feature products #1: Altenew Stamp Wheel, Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Classic Sept 2023,

Premium Edition

 

 

 This intricate wreath die is perfect for a shake card! There are a pack of acetate included in the

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Classic Sept 2023 and Premium Edition
 
 

 

 With a detailed stencil like this, Stamp Wheel has a Grid Mat that would secure the stencil piece in place. You can purchase Altenew Grid Mat (Low-Tack and Ultra -Sticky) separately. 

Shop Altenew here, Scrapbook. com here, Simon Says Stamp here

 

 I find it very helpful to have the mat when you do the detailed inking. The Detailed Blending Brushes are super fine and can be applied with any pressure. These ink detailed brushes are good alternatives.

 

 

 

 Once I finished ink-blending, I added foam pads and sandwich the acetate in between. I stamped "Happy Fall" with the help of Stamp Wheel and achieved the gradient effect.

 

The Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Classic Sept 2023 comes with a Unicorn white Pen. This white liquid pen is awesome for adding droplets. See those mushrooms? Yes, they are lovely, right? 

Feature products #2: Stampwheel,  Premium Edition, Stitched Scalloped Circle Die

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Classic Sept 2023, Hero Arts Cling Stamp Acanthus Prints

 

 

For this design, I want to showcase how Stampwheel really is wonderful to use cling stamps such as Hero Arts Cling Stamp Acanthus Prints
 
 

 
The 4 ink cubes (included in Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Classic Sept 2023) are easy to use with the Stampwheel. I love that Stampwheel provides just the RIGHT pressure when stamping. I find myself pressing too hard at times when doing Repeated Stamping.

 

 

How fun is that Stitched Scalloped Circle Die with glitter?

The Stitched Scalloped Circle Die is a classy die! I p[aired it up with my favorite glitter cardstock (Golden Sunrise). Shop Simon Says Stamp here, Scrapbook. com here.

 

 

 I looped the circle with Gold Metallic Thread. This adds a touch of glam and interest.

 

I hope that you enjoy seeing how I used Stampwheel for my projects.

A Fall-themed Anniversary Card

I am popping in to share an anniversary card. This very card was created for my daughter and son-in-law's anniversary. With the fall theme, the Small Die of The Month from Spellbinders seems to fit the occasion perfectly. 

The September "New Subscriber" registration window will be available September 6-27th. Last day today! This month's "Hiking Through the Meadows" small die set is perfect for making cards, decor, and more.

I am using the pattern paper from Spellbinders Quick and Easy Card Kit 

I also used the following for my first card (with the glitter shoe laces)

Shoe Lace: Glitter Cardstock Golden Sunshine (Altenew, Scrapbook. com, Simon Says Stamp)

Color Cardstock: Harvest, Christmas (ps: currently, this and this are the BEST deals)

Pattern Paper: Spellbinders Quick and Easy Card Kit (Sept)

 

The leaves from the Card Kit provides interest, textures and patterns to the overall design.

What do you think? The sentiment are anything you want to use for a design like this. You can, of course, use just one boot for any themes, too. The possibilities are endless!

Simple Stencil-Layering

 Hello friends!

I am popping in to share a simple stenciled project with the Spellbinders Stencils. 

Christmas Florals Die and Stencil Bundle from the Classic Christmas Collection 

 

Christmas Florals Die and Stencil Bundle is from the Classic Christmas Collection. It includes S5-599 Christmas Florals & Sentiments Etched Dies and STN-066 Christmas Florals Stencil.

 

  Together, it creates a lovely seasonal floral design perfect to welcome in the holidays through cardmaking. The flowers and sprigs shapes are amazing but adding in the stenciling for colored details or texture effect is sure to bring it to life!

 

If you like just the stencil option, HERE is a good one. Also, check out Noel Foliage set HERE

and the Layered Noel Foliage HERE

This stencil set allows you to add ANY colors with ease.

As you can see, I used darker colors and shades of Distress Oxide Ink for the accent colors.

The coordinating die gives the die-cutting a very polished look.

The most remarkable part of this set are the sentiment dies! The details are so detailed and intricate. If you like this look of the sentiment, it will be a great addition for your Christmas card-making.

You can find Christmas Florals Die & Stencils at Scrapbook. com HERE

  Spellbinders Envelope of Wonder

Cute Fruits 6x6 Paper Pad

Here are the beautiful gift card envelopes/

 Other than creating the envelopes, you can create a card!

 You will be amazed how easy it is to create the envelopes.

Next, I create the more elaborate envelope card with Autumn elements.

 

 These die cut elements are colored with Distress Oxide Ink.

The other day, I was invited to see a local music production of "Guys and Dolls". I thank my friend

Spellbinders Quick & Easy Club Kit-take 2 and 3

 Hello friends!

I am back to share two more projects with this month's Quick and Easy Card from Spellbinders. 

The September "New Subscriber" registration window will be available September 6-27th. While supplies last. Join this month and receive the pictured kit. Clubs will ship by the end of the month.

The Cardmaking Kit of the Month Club is NOW the the Quick & Easy Card Kit of the Month Club. We have adjusted the contents down and reduced the price so that the kits no longer require a die cutting machine. This month's "Jump Into Fall" Quick & Easy Card Kit includes a 6x6 paper pad, die cut shapes, tons of embellishments, card bases, and more!

 One tip I have about using these kits is....do not afraid of altering the pieces....

 For instance, I added subtle Distress ink color to the background. This way, it really make all the pieces come together and creates a cohesive look.

Like most things in life.....The more (practices) you do, the better you will get.

 I really enjoy picking out the pieces and assembled them. My next card is a fun one.

 The chipboard and ephemera make it easy to design.

 

I love creating fall themed cards. This card set will be given as a gift. 

 Here are the 3 cards that I created with this kit.

 Thanks for stopping by!
