Blooming Trio STAMPtember® Exclusive from Studio Katia!

Hello friends!

I have a card to share with you today using the STAMPtember Exclusive from Studio Katia - Blooming Trio.

I stamped my image and the extra leaves using Spun Sugar distress ink and pencil coloured them with Prismacolors.

Nothing much to tell about this card, it's pretty simple, adorned with BEAUTIFUL Studio Katia Crystal Clear sequins.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Rose

Hello friends!

It's time for a new Build-A-Flower and this time our flower is the beautiful Rose.

I used Altenew crisp inks in Coffee Break to stamp my layered roses and leaves.

This looks so gorgeous. I am someone who isn't great at stamping layers and it was quite easy for me so it should be a piece of cake for all you terrific stampers out there.

I also added a little bit of pencil shading.

The stamp set has beautiful sentiments too. I stamped mine on a strip of cardstock and layered it with champagne coloured glitter cardstock. In the end I added a few beautiful sequins by Studio Katia.

I hope you like my card!

You should hop on over to the Altenew Card Blog for a chance to win one of THREE $30 gift certificates.

That is all for today. Thank you for sopping by.

Hello and welcome to Studio Katia's Fall + Winter 2017 Release Blog Hop.

You should have arrived from the amazing Michelle's blog. If you get lost you can find the full hop list at the end of this post or visit Studio Katia Blog!

 

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!

I have two cards to share with you today. First up using Meowy Halloween and coordinating die set.

Isn't this just the cutest! I watercoloured all the images using distress inks, die cut them and popped it on my card front. For my card front I used distress inks to make purple clouds and green ground.

I have used a few Clear Drops and the new Luminous Lavender Fusion sequins.

The coordinating die for this set has a few extra dies to cut out faces in the pumpkins! How cool is that?! I didnt use them here because I wanted the kitty to take the center stage here.

Next up is Winter Kobi.

For this card I inked the panel with distress inks then covered it with sparkly embossing powder.

I coloured all images using colour pencils and die cut them using the coordinating die set.

I also added white paint splatters to my background and added a few Silver Foil Crystals to act as stars.

I’m also giving away $35 CAD gift certificate to Studio Katia store. I will randomly choose a winner from comments left on this post. Please leave a comment on this post by by September 22nd for a chance to win. I will announce the winner here on the blog on September 23rd.

Fall + Winter Release Preview - Merry Poinsettia

Hello everyone!

It's preview week over at the Studio Katia blog and I am showcasing Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set today for day 3.

All the stamps and dies showcased during the previews will be released on September 15th.

We will have a blog hop with a prize on every stop so save the date!

 

Isn't it just a beautiful stamp set?! And you get THREE flowers with beautiful sentiment stamps.

I stamped the single flower from the Marry Poinsettia Stamp Set using Spun Sugar Distress Ink since I was going for a no-line watercolour look. I used several red distress inks to colour my flower. After I was done with the flower, I stamped several leaves with Shabby Shutters Distress ink and watercoloured them with random green distress inks.

For my card front, I embossed my panel using Papertrey Ink Embossing Plate then popped on Dotted Shaker Tag - 2 using foam tape. I then die cut my flowers and leaves using the coordinating dies for the Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set and arranged them on to the Dotted Shaker Tag - 2.

In the end I die cut the word "Merry" which is from the Merry Poinsettia coordinating die set in silver and glued it on the tag.

For some bling I added some beautiful Majestic Fusion Sequin Mix and for pop of colour I added some home made enamel dots in red.
You can check out more samples with this same stamp set by clicking HERE.

That is all from my side. I hope you like my card. I am quite pleased with how velvety the Poinsettia looks :)

Have an awesome day.

Altenew August 2017 Release Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway

Hello friends!

You are at the last stop on Day 2 of Altenew August Release Blog Hop.

You must be here from Kimberly Crawford's blog.

Apart from the stamps and dies, Altenew is also releasing storage pouches this month which are absolutely brilliant! There are nothing like the ones I have and believe me I have tried a lot of storage pockets. These are the best.

I have SIX cards to share with you so without further ado lets get started.

Products: Striped Leaves Cover Die | More Than Words Stamp Set |

Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink

I chose to make a simple yet elegant card which would work for both sexes in black, gold and offwhite.

I added a bit of foil onto my black pieces of die cut so that they don't stand out a lot.

This is one of my favourite among all the cards I made for this release.

Product: Charmed Stamp Set | Artist Markers Cool Summer Night Set

Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder

This is a beautiful stamp set. I stamped the floral stamp repeatedly onto Sea Glass cardstock and heat embossed it using Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder.

I coloured in the flowers and leaves using the entire blue range of the artist markers and coloured the flower centers with black artist marker.

Products: Sweet Friend Stamp and Die Set

Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder | Woodgrain White Sheets | Amazing You Stamp Set

I heat embossed the frame twice and several flowers from the Amazing You stamp set.

I layered the floral part of the frame and added flowers from the Amazing You stamp set to continue the floral design.

Product: Eid Mubarak Die | Eid-ul-Adha Stamp Set 

Antique Gold Crisp Embossing Powder

For my background I used several distress inks and then stamped an image from Eid-ul-Adha stamp set with versamark ink. I used the Antique Gold Crisp Embossing Powder to emboss it.

The Eid Mubarak die has been die cut from Gold Foil cardstock.

Products: Point It Out | Speech Bubbles

Inks: Coral Berry | Volcano Lake | Parrot | Orange Cream | Maple Yellow

This is a fun card! I used Point It Out and Speech Bubbles to form a text.

Inks used; Coral Berry, Volcano Lake, Orange Cream, Parrot and Maple Yellow.

Products: Halftone Hearts Nesting Die Set | Halftone Hearts | Point It out

Circled Sentiments | Basic Borders | New Day Card Kit

Inks: Ruby Red | Parrot

For my background I did something I have previously done on a layout. Here I drew some horizontal lines and used Basic Borders stamp set to build my design.

After that I took out a couple of elements from the New Day card kit and arranged all the pieces in  a collage style.

That's it!

Now on to the more interesting part of the post.

Prizes:

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to THREE lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Scrapbook Blog by Thursday, August 31st at 11:59pm EDT for a chance to win. The winners will be announced on the Altenew Scrapbook Blog on Saturday, September 2nd.

Additional Prize:

I will be giving away $30 gift certificate to ONE lucky winner from the comments left here.

Altenew: A Little Inspiration Using Beautiful Day

Hello friends!

I have a new post over at the Altenew blog for those of you who were having a little trouble with the current inspiration challenge.

Hop on over HERE.

Altenew Bulid-A-Flower: Anemone

Hello friends!

As you all know by now that every 15th of the month Altenew reveals a new Build-A-Flower stamp plus die set and this time we are introducing Anemone.

Isn't it gorgeous?!

Here is what I created.

I went for the no line watercolour look using distress inks as my watercolours.

I wanted to give this card a watercolour illustration look and I think it looks close enough.

I stamped the flowers in Antique Linen and the flower centers are stamped using Black Soot so that they are not crispt but more faded or distressed.

I spent the whole afternoon colouring this layer over layer and waited for it to air dry before adding all the details. I used a very light hand to add my "veins".

I stamped the sentiment over part of the image with Versafine Onyx Black.

When I was gluing down the sequins with Glossy Accents, a big blob dropped on my sentiment and the ink started to run! I had to fix it with a white gel pen and some more watercolouring. You can see the blurry "B".

I added more watercolouring outside the lines to give an illusion of more plants in the distance.

I hope you like my card. I am kinda proud of it since this is a 100% watercolour piece and NO pencils were used in adding details.

You can hop on over to the Altenew Card Blog and the Scrapbook Blog to check out what the other designers made.

Click here if you want to purchase this gorgeous set.

That is all from my side.

Have a great day.
