Altenew Celebrating Parent's Card Drive Blog Hop




Hello everyone! Welcome to Altenew Celebrating Parent's Blog Hop! You should have come from amazing Kathy Racoosin, but if not please start at the Altenew blog. Today I am showcasing four different projects for this event.



For my first card I used Best Dad stamp set and Best Dad coordinating die set. I combined the light grey cardstock with Watercolor Stripes Cover Die and Create-a-Wreathe Die set. I die cut the oval out of glitter cardstock and glued them onto my panel.

 Next, I stamped the images from Best Dad stamp set, colored them with Copic Markers and die-cut with Best Dad Coordinating die set. Lastly I've added the leaves from Wings of Hope stamp set to finished my card.



For my next card I used Gorgeous Winter Rose stamp set. First, I stamped the flowers and leaves with Altenew inks on watercolor paper. 


 Then I took my wet paintbrush and went over them with water to blend them and give them a watercolored look and die cut the images with Winter Rose coordinating die set. 

Then I watercolored the background with light beige inks and foam mounted the images on top of my panel. 

For the sentiment I used Love from Script Words Die set.

For my third card I decided to make a vintage look. 

I stamped the flowers from Wildflower Garden stamp set on watercolor paper using Altenew inks and blend them with clean water to give them a watercolored look. 

Next, I blended some beige ink over my flowers and splattered with paint.







For my last card I used Wings of Hope stamp set. I stamped the images with Altenew inks and die cut with Wings of Hope coordinating die set. 

Next, I blended some pink ink in the center of my panel and splattered with water. I decide to add two gold heat embossed branches from Forever and a Day stamp set on my card for more intersting look. 


 Next, I foam mounted the flowers on top of my panel and added clear sequins to finished my card.

Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway + VIDEO






Hello everyone! Today I'm participating in Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1! 

If you came from Laura Bassen you are on the right track, but if not please start at the Altenew blog. 


VIDEO TUTORIAL

A detailed process of this card you can watch here on this post or in HD at my YouTube channel.



Thank you so much for watching!

In celebration of these past four years, Altenew is hosting a special four-day blog hop! With four days, you know there is going to be so much Altenew inspiration heading your way from many talented designers! There are also prizes up for grabs, and even a shopping discount code. All these details will be listed at the bottom of this post.


Thanks Altenew for inspiring me to make my first card in 2016 with their gorgeous Vintage Roses! It's been a real delight to see how they turn into such a successful crafting company!

To celebrate Altenew's Anniwersary I made a card with beautiful Peony Spray stamp set.



 CARD DETAILS

  I've started by stamping peonies set 3 times onto light grey cardstock using clear inks and white heat embossed.


Next, I colored the peonies with Prismacolor pencils. I love the soft look of this pencils on light grey cardstock. I used four shades of pencils along with a white pencil for highlights. 


 Once my coloring was done, I die cut the images with coordinating die. Next, I heat embossed peonies onto light grey panel with white embossing powder for the background. I foam mounted peonies on my grey panel and cut out the excess.

For the sentiment I used the Hello die from Flower Arrangement die set. 


Sometimes I have some troubles with detailed thin dies. So I decided to show you little die cutting trick in my video tutorial. 


At last I glued my panel onto white card base and finished the card with some sequins and drops.
