Altenew March 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello friends!
You must be here from the amazing Heidi Jakobs blog.

 I have four projects to share with you today. They are all relatively clean and simple so there is not a lot of explaining to do.

My first card uses the following products:


Altenew Focus on You Stamp Set  Focus on You Die Set  Sincere Greetings  Dotted Scales Debossing Die | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I used the Dotted Scales Debossing Die to die cut a panel, snipped off some portion from the top and adhered plain cardstock there. I covered up the cut line with a strip of light gray cardstock.


Altenew Focus on You Stamp Set  Focus on You Die Set  Sincere Greetings  Dotted Scales Debossing Die | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I watercoloured my stamp images with these two brush markers I have by Kuretake. They are not zigs. I use them for brush lettering practice.

Altenew Focus on You Stamp Set  Focus on You Die Set  Sincere Greetings  Dotted Scales Debossing Die | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

The sentiment is from Sincere Greetings Stamp Set.


Altenew Focus on You Stamp Set  Focus on You Die Set  Sincere Greetings  Dotted Scales Debossing Die | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Isn't the pattern just beautiful?

Next up, my second card uses


Altenew Dotted Scales Debossing Die  Mega Succulent Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0diigy0

On this card I used the Dotted Scales Die as is and added pearls to the connecting points. I glued the pearls more spaced out as I went down the panel.


Altenew Dotted Scales Debossing Die  Mega Succulent Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0diigy0

The sentiment is from Mega Succulent Stamp Set. I heat embossed it on vellum with Pure White Embossing Powder.

Next up is my third card.


Altenew Focus on You Stamp Set | Coloured with Artist Markers | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

On this card I did a little masking and built my border using the stamps from Focus on You Stamp Set. 


Altenew Focus on You Stamp Set | Coloured with Artist Markers | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I coloured the stamps with Artist Markers and added shadow with a gray pencil.

Now onto my last card.
Product used


Altenew Miss You Word Die | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Again, I went with a simple design. I cut out Miss You several times to make my own chipboard words. The top most layer was inked with distress inks.


Altenew Miss You Word Die | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I added white paint splatters to the card front and a strip of washi behind the stamped sentiment. I also covered my die cuts generously with glossy accents.

That is all from my side today, now on to the good stuff.

Studio Katia March Release Day 1



Hello!
Welcome to Studio Katia March Release Blog Hop Day 1.
You should have arrived here from Galachko's blog.
Studio Katia is releasing 9 new Clear Stamp Sets and 5 sets of Coordinating Dies, 4 new stand alone Creative Dies, 2 new Stencils and 12 new Embellishments.

The card that I have to share today will be featuring one of the new stencils, the Mandala.
This is SUCH a gorgeous stencil. I will be sharing just one card today but I have a video that is not ready yet. I will be sharing that on the Studio Katia blog soon.

Studio Katia Mandala Stencil | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I made a very simple card. I really wanted to highlight the beautiful pattern of the stencil, so I decided to use gesso and holographic glitter.


Studio Katia Mandala Stencil | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0
I spread the gesso and then sprinkled glitter heavily all over.


Studio Katia Mandala Stencil | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0
Once it was dry, I popped up my sentiment which is from the Label Messages Stamp Set.

Studio Katia Mandala Stencil | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0
I also added a bit of silver string behind the text label. In the end I adhered the beautiful, new Iridescent Bubbles.
