Altenew June 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello Everyone and Welcome the Altenew June 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Blog Hop and Giveaway.

If you have hopped over from Lilith Eeckels blog you are right on track, or you can just start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog. Details on the giveaway at the end of the post 😊

CARD DETAILS

For my cards today I created a set of Rainbow inspired Encouragement cards using the Leaf Cluster Stamp set. These actually came together really quickly. 

In order to mass produce cards this way, I found it easier to use multiple stamping tools. One for each color I was stamping (3 for each card). First I would stamp out the leaf cluster that I wanted in the background and then move my piece of paper to the next stamp positioner and stamp out the next color and so on until I stamped out the last layer which below would be like the red leaf clusters in the image below.

To stamp out these images I used Distress Oxide Inks. Rather than wiping off any of the ink left behind on the stamps I misted them with water and then did some second generation stamping onto new panels in the same order to give me the watercolored look.

I then added some splatters to the top area of each card panel in a coordinating color and then stamped out the sentiment in the white space. The Encouragement greeting stamps come from both the Sentiment Strips set and the Leaf Clusters set.

For this next card, I chose to go with a traditional Red Rose color. I stamped out one of the floral clusters from the Forever in Love stamp set and then colored it in using Copic markers. I then used the coordinating Forever in Love die to cut it out. 

To create some drama in the background I used the Warp Speed Stencil to add some black Diamond Glimmer paste and then finished it off with the Always and Forever sentiment from the Sentiment Strips set.

I hope you were inspired by my cards today, I can't wait hop and to see all of the inspiration too. Thank you Altenew for having me once again!

Kobi Turns Three | Studio Katia Release Sneak Peek | Day 1

Hello Friends!

This week we are celebrating Studio Katia's 3rd Birthday! So, of course, there will be lots of great inspiration, giveaways and a new Release available this Friday! Today is Day 1 of our Sneak Peeks.

CARD DETAILS

For my card today I have used a few of the new sets. The fun Balloon cluster comes from the be BIRTHDAY BALLON TRIMMINGS set. I never have enough birthday cards so these balloons will come in handy!

I also used another new set KOBI MAKES A WISH and it's coordinating dies, which will actually be revealed on the Studio Katia Blog tomorrow, Shhhhh... it's our secret! So you're actually getting two sneaks here with my birthday card!

To color in these images, I used Zig Clean color brushes and added some glitter and glossy accents for shine. I also used some distress oxide inks to create the background for the images and also finished the card by embellishing it with some new SILVER FEVER FUSION sequins. LOVE how these shine in person!!!

Make sure you head on over to the Studio Katia Blog for more Day 1 inspiration and to enter the giveaway! Links in the post will go live on Friday the 14th.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Spread Kindness Card | Studio Katia

Hello, my sweet Crafty FRIENDS!

Today I am over on the Studio Katia Blog with this beauty! I am so in love with how it turned out  😍 As you can probably tell from my last few posts I am on a rainbow kick so why mess with a good thing?  Rainbows brighten my day and I hope they do the same for you!

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the background of the card panel using the KIND BOUQUET (SSS | SK) stamp using Blackout Ink onto watercolor paper. Rather than fussy cutting the stamped image, I die cut a few masks using the KIND BOUQUET dies (SSS | SK) to cover up the stamped images as I covered up the card panel. The little lines that didn't connect because of the die cut mask I drew in by hand with a fine line marker. 

I then used Zig Clean Color Brush markers to the Roses in colors of the Rainbow.

Once the background was dry I die cut the entire panel out using the frame from the DARLING RIBBON AND FRAMES DIE set (SSS | SK). I then stamped out the Kindness onto the floral design and then used the coordinating KIND BOUQUET DIES (SSS | SK)  to die cut the sentiment. I also die cut 3 more layers to add under the Kindness from black cardstock to pop it off the card base.

To make the sentiment stand out, even more, I added a coat of Glossy Accents to it.

To finish the Kindness greeting I stamped out the "spread" onto black cardstock and heat set the letters in white and popped the strip up with foam tape. For embellishments, I added some of my favorite IRIDESCENT BUBBLES (SSS | SK).

Hope this card has brightened your crafty day and inspired you a little today! For more inspiration using these products visit the Studio Katia Blog.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time keep on spreading Kindness and ... Happy Crafting 👋
