ALTENEW A YEAR IN REVIEW BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY



Hello everyone! Today I’m very excited to be joining to Altenew's A Year in Review Blog Hop. Altenew such a great company with amazing talented designers.

This year was very productive for me. If you don't know, I'm started making cards in a middle of 2016. And I'm so excited to get inspiration from Altenew products, because I love them so much! As you know, I love to make floral cards, and use colored pencils, alcohol markers or watercolors for coloring.

Here are three cards I made as a guest designer for them.

Studio Katia I Love You Shaker Card


Hello everyone! Do you like to make a shaker cards for St.Valentine’s Day? I think new Studio Katia Kobi’s Hugs & Kisses stamp and die set just for this fits perfectly! For today’s post, I decided to make a cute pink shaker card with this lovely bear!
I’ve started by stamping the images from the set using black ink, colored the images with Copic markers and die cutting the images with their coordinating dies. Then I blended the background of my shaker base with Picked Raspberry distress inks and sprinkled with water to do some splatters.

Next, I’ve die cut the panel out of white cardstock using new Dotted Patterns: Loops Creative set, for my shaker base.
I put the shaker together adding Cupid’s Kiss Crystals Mix and adhered it all together. After that, I’ve adhered Kobi with bouquet on top of my shaker with foam tape and attached my it to the kraft card base.

Then I cut out a small banner out of kraft cardstock and stamped I LOVE YOU sentiment and heat embossed using white embossing powder and foam mounted onto my card and my card is complete. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful week!
Supplies:
Dotted Patterns: Loops | Creative Dies
Kobi’s Hugs & Kisses | Clear Stamp Set
Kobi’s Hugs & Kisses | Coordinating Dies
Cupid’s Kiss Crystals | Mix
