Hello, crafty friends! Welcome to my blog! Thank you so much, Virginia Lu, for sending everyone over! By now, you’ve seen what a lovely release this is!

FOR YOU

STEPS:

  1. Create a background using the Gelli plate and acrylic paints.
  2. Emboss the background using the Starbust 3D embossing folder.
  3. Die-cut 4 white cardstocks using the Fancy for You die. Add a layer of Peachy Tiles washi tape before die cutting the fifth and adhere to each other to create dimension.
  4. Assemble card.

Don’t throw away the excess! I used it as a border for this second card and lined up the design when I embossed the blue card base.

The sentiment from the All Things A stamp set was stamped with Obsidian Ink then embossed with Crystal Clear Crisp embossing powder.

MONOGRAM A

STEPS:

  1. Die-cut white cardstock using the Mega Alpha A. Secure the A with tape.
  2. Ink the debossed side with Caribbean Sky dye ink and emboss.
  3. Add Arctic dye ink to the high areas and emboss.
  4. Die-cut 4 more cardstocks and add to the A.
  5. Assemble card.

I love the texture of this embossing folder! I will be using this for sure in my future projects.

I’M TOUCHED BEYOND WORDS

STEPS:

  1. Color the image with Mixed Media Inks from the Glacier Caves and the Red Cosmos bundles using the Vintage Lace Simple coloring stencils.
  2. Emboss with the coordinating Vintage Lace 3D embossing folder.
  3. Stamp and emboss the sentiment with Rose Gold embossing powder.

Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Fragrant Florals Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Welcome to my blog, everyone! Thanks so much, Tenia Nelson, for sending everyone over. For the complete details of this hop, make sure to drop by the Altenew Blog.

I’m excited to share what I made for the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Fragrant Florals release! You can find this new release here. This is such a gorgeous kit, and there are many ways you can use the stamp, stencil, die, and embossing folder. Here are a few ways you can use them.

SENDING HAPPY THOUGHTS YOUR WAY

STEPS:

  1. Stamp image using a very light ink.
  2. Color the image using the stencils and Frosty Pink, Corral Berry, Ruby Red, Caribbean Sky, Arctic and Persian Blue Mixed Media Inks with a blender brush and detailed blender brush.
  3. Loosely outline the image with a .03 pencil.
  4. Emboss the sentiment on navy blue cardstock using Pure White Crisp Embossing powder.
  5. Die cut the image and trim down to fit a mini slimline card.
  6. Assemble the sentiments using foam squares.
TIP: Don’t throw away leftovers from the colored image. You can always add them to the inside of the card.

Blending the Mixed Media Inks was a dream!!! Since these are pigment inks, they stay wet long enough so that you can get a nice blend. Just use the same stencil to add layers to the petals and leaves. Always start with the lightest, then work towards the darkest. The detailed blending brushes work well, mainly when you apply the darkest to the areas where there should be shadow. I learned the pencil outline technique from the amazing watercolorist Danielle Donaldson and thought this technique would look wonderful with the Altenew images.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

STEPS:

  1. Emboss Neenah Solar White cardstock using the CYL Fragrant Florals 3d Embossing folder.
  2. Watercolor using the following dye inks: Hydrangea, Pinkalicious and Turquoise.
  3. Die cut image using the coordinating die.
  4. Emboss the image again with the 3D embossing folder.
  5. Add outline using a mechanical pencil.
  6. Stamp and emboss sentinent from the Ornamental Bliss Stamp set using Rose Gold embossing powder.
  7. Assemble card with foam squares.
TIP: Mist the front and back of the paper with water before embossing. This will help break down the paper fibers and prevent tearing.

Altenew March 2022 Whimsical Fairy Tale Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Welcome, my crafty friends and thank you, Tenia Nelson, for sending everyone over to my blog! For the full list, please visit the Altenew Blog. You can also find the full release here.

I just love 3D embossing folders!!! Technology has made it possible to make the designs look more 3D and this release does not disappoint. For this set of cards, I chose to use light and pastel colors. Take a look at the 4 cards I made below using some of the 3D embossing folders.

SO KIND… I’M TOUCHED BEYOND WORDS

STEPS:

  1. Wet the front and back of a Mixed Media white cardstock.
  2. Emboss using the Flower Bed 3D Embossing folder.
  3. Color the flowers and leaves using the following dye inks– Aqualicious, Hydrangea, Sand Dunes and Coral Berry using the wet on wet technique. Add more concentrated pigments for the shadows.
  4. Die cut a circle to form a window.
  5. Emboss the sentiment from the Inside and Out: Thanks stamp set on clear acetate and at the bottom of the die cut window.
  6. Assemble the card using foam squares.

I love how this card turned out. I wanted to create a set of cards using pastel colors to keep them light. The flowers in this card look so ethereal and delicate! And because the panel was big, I was able to create a second card.

TIP: Make sure to paint flowers/ leaves that are separated from each other to prevent the different colors of inks from blending with each other. Also, mist the front and back of the paper before embossing. This will give it a more crisp image and it will also prevent the paper from tearing.

STAY SAFE

STEPS:

  1. Trim the embossed panel to 2″ x 5.5″.
  2. Add a gold trim using Gold foil washi tape.
  3. Stamp the sentiment from the Pot and Plants stamp set on light blue cardstock and emboss with Pure White embossing powder.
  4. Assemble the card with foam squares and adhesive.

I kept this card clean and simple by using the leftover embossed image from the first card as a border. I love it when I can create more than one card using a single embossed image.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP

STEPS:

  1. Cut different widths of strips from paper scraps.
  2. Adhere to a thin sheet of paper with adhesive.
  3. Emboss using the Scalloped Frame 3D embossing folder.
  4. Die cut a circle that will fit the center of the Scalloped Frame embossing folder then add pattern using the Fine Tulle stencil and dye ink.
  5. Stamp the sentiment from the Pots and Plants stamp set and emboss using a mixture of Fluorescent Green and Rose Gold embossing powder.
  6. Assemble the card using foam squares and adhesive.

I’M TOUCHED BEYOND WORDS

STEPS:

  1. Ink up the flat side of the embossing folder and emboss. Repeat using a 2nd color.
  2. Cut the panel to form the embossed circle.
  3. Stamp the plant image from the Pots and Plants stamp set on vellum and emboss with Rose Gold embossing powder. Die cut the image.
  4. Stamp the sentiment.
  5. Assemble the card with foam squares and adhesive.

The embossed circle acts as a frame for the plant image. I can imagine so many other possibilities with this embossing folder.
