SSS Floral Easter Cards

Hello crafty friends, happy Easter weekend!!
Today I want to share with you my couple of floral Easter cards with the Suzy’s In Full Bloom Watercolor Paintable Prints.

Here is what I came up with:
To create the card, I watercoloured the image with Peerless watercolors and a wet paint brush. Once the panel was dry, I trimmed it out using the Stitches Rectangle panel die, and then mounted it on top-folded Lipstick Red card base using double-sided tape. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Uplifting Thoughts set on black card stock in white, fussy cut it, then added it on the card front using foam tape.
It’s so easy to make with the Suzy’s In Full Bloom Watercolor Paintable Prints!!

My second card is pretty much the same as the first. I watercoloured the flower image with Peerless watercolors. Once it was dry, I fussy cut it, and then stamped the sentiment (from the Happy Easter stamp set) on the yellow flower in VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I mounted it on Lipstick Red card base using foam tape. I embellished with a few PPP clear droplets & sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy Easter, everyone!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

This blog hop is in honour of celebrating the 3rd Anniversary of the Altenew. I am so honoured to be taking part in this blog hop celebration!!

I made a happy birthday card for the Altenew!! I love making white heat embossed images + Distress ink blended background with the Altenew flower stamp set! I randomly heat embossed flowers and leaves from the Floral Garden set in the New Day card kit on watercolour panel in white, and then ink blended on it with some Distress inks in rainbow order: Festive Berries, Scattered Straw, Crushed Olive, Peacock Feathers and Victorian Velvet. I then lightly brushed on the ink blended panel using a wet paint brush. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on Spicy Yogurt card base using foam tape first, and then added the sentiment banner using foam tape as well.
Happy 3rd anniversary, awesome Altenew!!

MFT April Release Replay

Hello crafty friends, welcome to the My Favorite Things April Release Replay Challenge!
Today our team is taking a fresh look at our most recent release with inspiring ideas and innovative takes on the complete collection. We love the opportunity to look at our products with fresh eyes, envisioning entirely new ways to showcase the possibilities they present. We can’t wait to share our ideas with you!

Here is what I came up with:
My card today features the new Springtime Blooms Stamp Set, Up in the Air Stamp Set & Die-namics along with other MFT products. I started by stamping flowers from the Springtime Blooms set on A2 watercolour paper panel in Black Licorice hybrid ink – I used Post-It Notes for masking flowers. I coloured them with Copic markers. Next, I stamped puppy (so cute!!) from the Up in the Air set in Black Licorice hybrid ink, coloured it with Copic markers as well, and then die cut it with the Up in the Air Die-namics. I die cut tea cup from watercolour paper using the Tea Party Die-namics, then watercoloured it with Fired Brick Distress ink.
For the sentiment, I used the Springtime Blooms stamp set. Lastly, I mounted the flower panel on A2 white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added all elements using foam tape.
Make sure to head over to the MFT blog today for more great projects from the design team for this months challenge.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

SSS He is RISEN!

Hello crafty friends, happy Monday!
Easter is just around the corner!! So today I want to share with you my Easter card with the Simon Says Stamp More Spring Flowers and Happy Easter stamp sets along with other SSS products.

Here is what I came up with:
I started by stamping flowers and leaves from the More Spring Flowers set on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel in Antique Linen Distress ink, then coloured them with Distress markers – I used no-line watercolouring technique. I coloured the background of the panel using Pumice Stone Distress ink. Next, I die cut the Cross from watercolour paper using the Crosses die set, stamped the sentiment from the Happy Easter set with VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink, then roughly coloured the Cross with Antique Linen and Tea Dye Distress inks. Once the watercoloured panel was dry, I mounted it on A2 white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the Cross using Foam tape.
He is RISEN! Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. (1 Corinthians 15:20)

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a blessed day!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Altenew Card Kit/Layering Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, welcome to the Altenew Card Kit/Layering Dies Release Blog Hop!
Altenew 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)

To create the first card, I simply stamped the flower and butterfly from the Floral Garden set in the card kit on white paper panel with several dye inks: (Petal) Coral Berry, Ruby Red / (Leaves) Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen / (Butterfly) Sunkissed, Autumn Blaze. I then stamped the sentiment in Jet Black dye ink. I decorated the stamped panel with gold glitter tape in the kit and natural twine. For the card base, I used one of the pattern papers in the card kit.

For my second card, I wanted to create a clean and simple card using the new Layered Floral Cover Die A and B (This set is One and Only!!). I die cut the Layered Floral Cover Die A and B from blue shades of card stock, then adhered two layers onto Spicy Yogurt card base using foam tape. For the sentiment, I used the word “Thank you” in the Majestic Bloom die set. I embellished with some enamel dots in the card kit.

Here is one more card with the new card kit! Those flower stamp, elegant frame die, sentiment banner, and beautiful watercoloured pattern paper.. I am so in love with the New Day Card Kit!!
