On to the projects!

Craft Your Life Project Kit: Seasonal Blooms

I stamped the large floral image from the Seasonal Blooms kit in Obsidian Pigment Ink on paper from the 6x6 Alluring Blooms Paper Pad and then heat embossed with Crystal Clear Crisp Embossing Powder.

Once cooled, I die cut with the coordinating die from the, lightly inked the white card stock with Caribbean Sky Crisp Dye Ink, added black splatters with a Jet Black Watercolor Brush Marker and then arranged the die cuts to create a frame around the page.

Prior to adding the matted photos I also splattered some white acrylic paint mixed with water on the page.

The gold mirror card stock is die cut with the Creative Edges Scalloped Die Set and adhered along the middle of the layout.

I inked white card stock with Crisp Dye Inks and then die cut the letters with the Fine Alphabet Die Set. "Hi" is die cut with the die from the project kit and is a play on words as "hello" sunset and the abbreviation for Hawaii.

Now stamping and die cutting from patterned paper means there are negative portions of the die cuts remaining that can also be used.

I lined up the paper with the stamp set and stamped the image on the front of an A2 size card and then glued the patterned paper negative around the image.

I added a little bit of shading on this image and die cut thanks from the kit dies, below is a closer look as the shading.

I left the image below white since the paper is vibrant on its own.

Craft Your Life Project Kit: Hello Beautiful

Each Craft Your Life Project Kit comes with a stamp, coordinating die, coloring stencil and 3D Embossing folder.

I stamped the image, added a light layer of blue ink with the base layer of the coloring then stencil, then added detail coloring with the Woodless Coloring Pencils, then die cut with the coordinating die.

You can see the beautiful detail of the 3D embossing folder on the gold foil card stock above. I embossed the gold foil card stock and then adhered the colored, die cut blooms with Instant Dimension Foam Tape over the embossed piece.

The final step was to heat emboss the sentiment on black card stock by stamping with Clear Embossing Ink and heat setting Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder.

Craft Your Life Project Kit: Elegant Motifs

You can see already how versatile these kits are and this next one is no exception! The Elegant Motifs kit includes a 3D embossing folder just perfect for slimline cards!

I embossed watercolor paper with the 3D embossing folder and then colored the embossed areas with Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers.

Once dry, I added splatters with the Jet Black Watercolor Brush Marker, matted on Gold Foil Cardstock and added a sentiment cut from gold foil cardstock with the Slim Sentiments Die.

I've embossed kraft cardstock with the 3D Embossing Folder and then applied ink with the coloring stencils and a Small Ink Blending Tool. After inking, I sanded the high points with a sanding block to create those "highlighted" areas on the blooms.

The sentiment is cut from black cardstock with the Mighty Alphabet Die set and a few clear drops from my stash finish the card off.

These kits are my "New Favorite" because of their versatility to be used on many types of different projects and I am so looking forward to taking time in the New Year to put them to good use!

Projects

I have been wanting to create an Inside Tunnel Card for quite some time since I first watched a tutorial by Jennifer McGuire and I took the plunge with this kit.

You can see the layers built up starting with embossing the bottom layer with the Hello Beautiful 3D Embossing Folder which I've applied Clear Embossing Ink to the high points and heat embossed with Rose Gold Embossing Powder.

Altenew Love and Friendship Stamps, Dies, Stencils and Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop and Giveaway

Hello! I'm thrilled and honoured to be among such wonderfully talented company for the Altenew February release party which is packed full of fabulous products sure to spark your creativity!

If you are here from Anna Mahtani's blog you're in the right place. If you want to make sure you don't miss any inspiration, click back to the Altenew blog to start at the beginning.

Here's a quick look at all the new products, if you see something you like, pick it up right away as items sell out quickly!

Tall Foliage Stamp/Slim Deco Cover Die/Organic Linen 3D Embossing Folder

There are two sizes of dies in the Slim Deco Cover Die set, this card uses the small die which I cut 3 times then placed from top to bottom across an A2 card front embossed with the Organic Linen 3D Embossing Folder. The edges of the die cuts were trimmed along the edge of the card front.

I stamped the images from the Tall Foliage Stamp set in Clear Embossing ink, covered with Platinum Embossing powder and then heat set. The sentiment is heat embossed and layered over metallic thread.

Modern Greetings Stamp Set

This is a large stamp set that can easily take center stage on your card.

This image is stamped multiple times with Vanilla Cream, Aqualicious, Sweet Leaf, Sunkissed and Heartbeat ink.

I've got a short video walking you through the details of creating this card:

For this card I stamped the image multiple times in Heartbeat, Sunkissed, Warm Sunshine, Sweet Leaf, Persian Blue, a combination of Lavender Fields and Desert Night, and Deep Iris. Each image is fussy and then cut apart and pieced back together in rainbow order.

I adhered the pieced image with foam adhesive to a watercolor washed card front which I added a little bit of iridescent paste to with the Calligraphy Maze stencil.

The sentiment is stamped in Obisdian Pigment ink and heat embossed with Crystal Clear Embossing Powder.

Painted Hummingbirds Stamp and Die Set

Did you know a group of hummingbirds is called a charm? I've stamped a charm of hummingbirds for this card.

The lighter colored images were created by inking the stamp and then misting with water before stamping on the paper.

The images are all die cut with the matching die and the black card stock is misted with Iridescent Spray Ink before creating the background of hummingbirds.

I colored a small piece of alcohol marker friendly paper with the following Artist Markers:

-YG05 Summer Afternoon

-R304 Coral Berry

-G715 Forest Glades

-WG03 Evening Gray

and then die cut Thanks with the Bold Thanks Die.

Painted Hummingbirds/Slim Deco Cover Die/Tall Foliage Stamp & Die Set

I die cut the large die in the Slim Deco Cover Die set from kraft card stock three times then stamped the images from the Tall Foliage Stamp set on mixed media card stock with watercolour ink.

Brush the stamp directly with the watercolor brush marker, spritz with a little water and stamp.

Jet Black, Emerald, Moss, Rouge, Warm Sunshine and Rubellite watercolor brush markers were used for the Tall Foliage.

Hummingbirds are stamped in Coral Bliss, Sweet Leaf, Just Green, Sunkissed and Evening Gray. Once dry, die cut all with matching dies.

Black splatters are added with the Jet Black Watercolor Brush Marker prior to adhering die cuts.

After adhering all die cuts, I double matted the photo, popped it up with foam tape and created a visual triangle around it with hummingbirds.

Painted Hummingbirds/Slim Deco Cover Die/Tall Foliage Stamp Set & Coloring Stencil

I die cut the large die from the Slim Deco Cover die set in Gold Mirror card stock and framed the watercolored Tall Foliage Stamp Set floral image.

The image has been watercolored by adding a small amount of Warm Sunshine ink through the Tall Foliage Simple Coloring Stencil and blending it out with water.

The leaves are colored in the same manner with Moss watercolor ink.

Tall Foliage Stamp Set and Simple Coloring Stencil

A super easy way to use this stamp is to create background by stamping the leafy image multiple times in Jet Black dye ink, then coloring the leaves with the Tall Foliage Simple Coloring Stencil in Moss Ink.

I created my own shade of green card stock to die cut Hello by inking a piece of white card stock with Parrot and Olive dye ink.

The shadow hello layer is cut from black card stock.
