SSS STAMPtember® 2017 Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends! Happy STAMPtember®!!
It’s September, my favourite time of year, and I am SUPER excited to be a part of the first day of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Blog Hop today!!

For my first two cards, I used the brand new You Got This stamp set & Damask stencil along with other SSS products.
To create this card, I laid the Damask stencil over the watercolour panel, and then inked over the stencil using some Distress inks and sponge daubers in rainbow order: (from the top left corner) Festive Berries, Scattered Straw, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans, and Victorian Velvet. I then freely brushed on the panel with a wet paint brush – Distress inks react with water!! I added water drops and opaque white ink splatters all over the panel. Once the panel was dry, I heat embossed the edges of the panel with gold. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the You Got This set on black card stock in white, and then die cut it with the Stitched Banner die. I mounted the background panel on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment banner, vellum butterflies (I used the Butterfly Drift die), gold sequins, clear droplets.
“You are strong and God is stronger, together you are unstoppable.” – I love this sentiment so much!!

For my second card, I created my own damask patterns on soft navy card base using the Damask stencil and white embossing paste. I die cut nearly half of the soft navy panel using the Wavy Scallop Stitches die. I then applied the damask pattern on the soft navy panel using white embossing paste. Once the panel was dry, I added some metallic silver & opaque white ink splatters. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the You Got This set on red card stock in white, and then trimmed it down as a small banner. I mounted the background panel on top-folded white card base using foam tape first, and then added the sentiment banner & gold sequins.

For my last card, I used the new Amazing Messages stamp set along with the Tickle Breeze die. I die cut the Tickle Breeze from an A2 sized watercolour panel, and then added rainbow colours using Distress inks and a wet paint brush: Festive Berries, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Faded Jeans, and Seedless Preserves. I added water drops. Next, I stamped the image from the Amazing Messages set on white card stock using Onyx Black pigment ink, lightly coloured inside the alphabets with watercoloured pencils, then fussy cut it. For other words, I heat embossed them on black card stock in white. Once the background panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using foam tape first, and then added all elements as shown to the card front using foam tape as well.

Altenew: Thanks

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
I’m up on the Altenew blog with my floral “Thanks” card using the Amazing You stamp set and Script Words 2 die set.
I started by stamping flowers and leaves from the Altenew Amazing You set on white paper panel in black dye ink. I then coloured the stamped images with the Altenew Artist Markers & Copic markers. I added tiny black dots between images using Copic multiliner. For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Thanks” from metallic gold card stock using the Altenew Script Words 2 dies five times, glued them together using fine tip glue pen. I mounted the floral panel on white card base using Altenew glue tape first, and then added the sentiment die cut on the card front using foam tape. I added water droplets using Glossy Accents.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!!

Altenew August 2017 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, happy Wednesday!
Welcome to the first day of the Altenew August 2017 Release Blog Hop!! We have 13 brand new stamp sets, 12 new dies, and medium & large storage pouches in August! If you arrived here from Kymona Tracey’s blog you are on the right track!

For my first and second card, I used the Thick and Thin Alpha and the Charmed stamp sets along with the Painted Butterflies stamp set.
I stamped my own sentiment “Save the date!” from the Thick and Thin Alpha set on the centre of watercolour panel in black pigment ink, and then outlined flowers (from the Charmed set) and butterflies (from the Painted Butterflies set) around the sentiment area in black ink as well. I loosely coloured the stamped images with Distress inks and a wet paint brush. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using glue tape first, and then added water droplets using Glossy Accents.
In my second card, I stamped the word “Praying for you” from the Thick and Thin Alpha set on watercolour panel in black pigment ink, and then outlined flowers (from the Charmed set) and butterflies (from the Painted Butterflies set) around the sentiment area in black ink as well. I chose blue, green, and yellow Distress inks for watercolouring.

For my third card, I used the Circled Sentiments stamp set. I stamped 6 circled sentiments on watercolour panel in black pigment ink, and then roughly coloured around the stamped images with Distress inks in rainbow order. I added some ink splatters, then mounted the panel on navy card base using foam tape.

For my last card, I used the 3D Star die! I created a galaxy background using Distress inks first. I ink blended the panel with Faded Jeans, Seedless Preserves, and Black Soot Distress inks, then added metallic silver & opaque white ink splatters on the blended panel. I then die cut the 3D Star from watercolour paper, lightly coloured on it with Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink and a wet paint brush. Once the background panel was completely dry, I mounted it on white card base using glue tape first, and then added all elements as shown to the card front using foam tape.

Altenew New Day Card Kit Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!
Welcome to the Altenew New Day Card Kit Blog Hop!! If you arrived here from Barbara Engler’s blog you are on the right track!

New Day Card Kit:
Thirty four cardstock die cuts
Six 8.5 x 11 inch cardstock (Made in UK)
Forty eight 6×6 inch pattern paper sheets (two of each design)
Two alphabet sticker sheets
12 wood veneer frames
6×8 inch photopolymer clear stamp set (Made in USA)
One gold glitter tape
Frame die, hearts and stars die
Enamel dots and hearts (4×6 inch sheet)

For my first card, it took me 10 minutes to make it! Isn’t that amazing? I didn’t stamp or heat emboss, just used the pattern paper, white rose die cuts, sentiment banner die cut, and enamel dots in the New Day Card Kit. Easy-peasy, right?!

For my second card, I used the Floral Garden stamp set in the card kit. I stamped flowers and butterflies from the Floral Garden set on white panel using several dye inks:
Flowers: Coral Berry & Ruby Red, Orange Cream & Autumn Blaze
Leaves: Bamboo, Parrot, Olive, Moss
Butterflies: Honey Drizzle (Yellow), Ocean Waves (Blue)
I then heat embossed the sentiment on black card stock in white, cut the small banner. Lastly, I mounted the stamped panel on white card base using glue tape first, and then added the sentiment banner using foam tape.

For my last card today, (I think some of you might already see this card on the Altenew blog before) I white heat embossed images from the Floral Garden set on watercolour paper panel and then ink blended on the panel with some Distress inks.
