Altenew September 2017 Release Blog Hop Day 2

Hello everyone! Welcome to Day 2 of Altenew September release blog hop.

You must be here from Laura Bassen's blog.

I will make this short and quick. Let's get on with the cards.

First up is the Halftone Stars and Coordinating Die Set.

For my card I used the Halftone Stars coordinating dies to make a shaker card. I also added gold glitter mat which I made by using the gold glitter tape.

Next up is Just Because Stamp Set,  Holiday Script Words and Happy Holidays Stamp Set.

I used Pure White Crisp embossing powder to heat emboss my image. I then went in with a white Prismacolor to colour the image. I have done this previosuly last year for Advent Calendar Etravaganza. You can find the older card HERE.

I cut out the word "Merry" a few times, glued them together then covered it with white glitter.

I also added a white strip with the sentiment from Happy Holidays stamp set.

In the end I added some sequins and gems from Studio Katia.

This is my favourite. The  most clean and simple card using With Gratitude stamp and die set. I will be featuring this stamp soon on theAltenew blog in a Stamp Focus post, don't miss it.

I heat embossed the bigger of the two leaves from the set and watercoloured it using different distress inks.

The sentiment was stamped using Dark Chocolate Crisp Ink.

Altenew & Ellen Hutson UWF Poppy Field Blog Hop

Hello!

Welcome to Altenew & Ellen Hutson United We Flourish Poppy Field Blog Hop.

You must be here from the awesome Lydia 's blog.

I have a complete hop list at the end of this post in case you lose your way.

I made a super CAS card for this hop. I stamped the images from Poppy Field stamp set in Alenew Permanent Black Ink and pencil coloured the images with Prismacolors.

ETA: I apologize for not mentioning this earlier but I stamped the images directly onto Altenew Pale Gray Cardstock. I did add a bit of shading around the images with a couple of gray pencils. Please know this is not a colouring cardstock hence the white spots in the closeup photo.

Prizes:

To celebrate two randomly selected commenters will win a $30 gift certificate to the Ellen Hutson shop and two commenters will win a $30 gift certificate to the Altenew shop. To enter just leave a comment on the Ellen Hutson Classroom blog or the Altenew blog by 12pm PST on Wednesday, September 27th.

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.

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.
