Altenew January 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway





Hello everyone! I am so excited to be a part of Altenew January 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop today! You should have come from Reiko Tsuchida, but if not please start at the Altenew blog.






I made a several cards to celebrate Altenew January release!





My first card featuring gorgeous Garden Picks 3D Die Set. I absolutely love that Altenew's 3D roses. I've started by blending some reds and pinks ink onto pieces of watercolor paper and splattered them with water and silver paint.


Once it was dry, I die cut the roses and glued them together using liquid glue. I repeated the process with green inks for the leaves.


For the background, I blended some beige inks onto piece of watercolor paper and splattered it with water and gold shimmer spray.


Then, I adhered the flowers and the leaves on top of my panel.


At last, I decided to add glittery branches for more interested look. I know, that die is a part of the leaves, but I think it's looks perfect as a branch, too. To finished my card I added a few sparkling sequins.

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

January 2019 Full Release Bundle







My second card with beautiful Wonderland stamp set. I stamped the images from the set onto kraft cardstock with clear embossing inks and white heat embossed. 


Then I colored the flowers using Altenew watercolors. Altenew watercolors are opaque and perfect for coloring onto kraft paper. 


Then, I splattered my panel with leftover paints and also silver paint. 




Next card featuring beautiful Floral Heart Frame Die. That die is perfect for quick Valentine's Day cards. 



 I blended some coral inks onto watercolor panel and splattered it with water and silver paint.

Next, I die cutting heart out of white cardstock two times and glued them all together with liquid glue before adhered on top of my panel. 


Next, I die cut the word Love out of gold glitter cardstock and mounted it onto my card with foam tape. 


Next card featuring gorgeous Dainty Bouquet stamp set. I decided to make soft muted vintage card with this beautiful layering stamp set. 


 I stamped first layer onto kraft cardstock with white pigment inks and heated with a heat gun. 

Next, I stamped the other layers using brown and green Altenew inks. 


Then I splattered my panel with white paint. I white heat embossed a sentiment onto stripe of kraft cardstock and blended some green inks on top of this and foam mounted onto my panel.



My last card with absolutely amazing Radial Hearts Cover Die. I blended some coral inks onto watercolor paper and splattered it with water and silver paint. 


 Next, I die cut the heart panel out of white cardstock and adhered on top of my blended panel. For the sentiment I die cut Friend using Simply Friend Die out of white cardstock and blended orange inks on top of it. 


Next, I coated it with Ranger Multi Medium Matt and sprinkled with clear glitter.
I used two leftover leaves from my previous card, and also sprinkled it with chunky glitter.

SSS You Are Loved Release Blog Hop Day 2

Hello and Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp You Are Loved Release Blog Hop, Day 2! 

I'm so excited to join this Blog Hop today! Make sure to read until the end if you want to know all the details and how to participate in a giveaway. You should have come from Lea Lawson, and your next stop is Elena Salo.




This latest release from Simon Says Stamp perfect for the upcoming Valentine’s Day. Today we celebrate with an inspirational blog hop and lots of giveaways and a free gift.








I made two cards to celebrate this Blog hop! For my first card I stamped the big heart and word LOVE from Ornate Love stamp set onto pink cardstock and white heat embossed it before die cutting. Then, I blended some pink inks onto white panel and splattered with the same inks.



 I blended pink and red inks on top of the heart and LOVE for more depth and adhered on top of my panel with foam tape.


 I white heat embossed the sentiment onto stripe of kraft cardstock and finished my card with sequins.







For my second card I used All My Heart stencil. I blended pink inks through the stencil onto white piece of paper and splattered it with pink ink and silver paint.



Next, I stamped LOVE with clear inks onto kraft cardstock and white heat embossed before die cutting. Then, I adhered it on top of my panel with foam tape.


I adhered my card onto pink card base with foam tape and finished my card with sequins.
