Welcome to my blog, everyone! Thanks so much, Agnieszka Małyszek, for sending all of you over. If you what the complete information about this hop, make sure to visit the Altenew Card Blog here.
Take a look at all these wonderful products!!! You can find the whole collection here.
For my first card, I used the charming Home Sweet Home Stamp and Die Set.
DISTANCE MEANS SO LITTLE WHEN SOMEONE MEANS SO MUCH
STEPS:
- Stamp images from the Home Sweet Home and the Potted Plants stamp sets with Obsidan ink, emboss with clear embossing powder and color with Alcohol Ink markers.
- Create the sky using stencils and distress inks.
- Die cut the images and create the scene. Use foam squares for added dimenison.
I enjoyed coloring this huge image! I made a slimline card so that I have more room to play with. I added some potted plants to further emphasize the foreground and background.
For the next set of cards, I used two stamp sets– the Bold You Stamp Set and the Floral Halos Stamp Set.
YOU ARE BRAVER THAN YOU BELIEVE…
STEPS:
- Stamp the YOU from the Bold You stamp Set with dye ink.
- Mask the YOU and stamp the floral images from Floral Halos Stamp Set.
- Die cut the frame from the Fine Frames Cover die and color with the same dye ink color. Use the same ink cube to color the edges of the cardbase.
- Stamp the sentiment using Versamark Ink and emboss with Pure White embossing powder.
- Assemble the card.
There are so many lovely sentiments you can use from this set. I decided to fussy cut the black cardstock paper for a different look. This design is quite easy to mass-produce. Just stamp the same image several times then move to the next image and stamp again several times etc. Using a fine tweezer will help line up the masks better.
YOU ARE LOVED
STEPS:
- Stamp the image from the Floral Halos Stamp set onto Gel Painting: Soft Washes Paper Pack using Versamark Ink and Pure White Embossing powder then die cut with the coordinating die.
- Die cut 5 circles from the same paper pack.
- Stamp the sentiment using Versamark Ink and emboss with Caribbean Sky Embossing powder.
- Arrange the circle elements on the card front. Adhere the floral die cuts using foam squares.
This was a quick way to create “watercolored” cards. I love the Gel Painting: Soft Washes paper pack!!! Now you can skip making your own watercolor washes and go straight to creating cards. This CAS card has a lot of white space. I just made sure to adhere one of the circles around the sentiment to emphasize it more.
For the next card, I used the lovely Mid Century Cover Die.
HUGS
STEPS:
- Die cut the Neenah Solar White cardstock 5 times using the Mid Century Cover Die. Cut out the lower potion on all die cuts and adhere on top of each other.
- Die cut cardstock 4 times using the Fancy Hugs die and on the last one, adhere the Gold Foil Washi tape before die cutting. Adhere on top of each other.
- Use one of the sheets from the Gel Painting: Soft Washes Paper Pack as the card front and assemble the card.
I love the Gel Printing Soft Washes paper cause it saves a lot of time creating backgrounds! This card was the fastest to do. All I did was die-cut and use the beautiful watercolor paper as my background. I cut off certain areas of the cover die to give it a different look.
When I saw the negative die cuts from the cover die, I thought I could still make use of them.
I watercolored these strips using leftover watercolor on my palette then created a pattern to make mini monogrammed cards.
