The Stamp Market: Poppy Hugs

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a card I have over the My Sweet Petunia's blog.

I used bunch of The Stamp Market goodies and of course my MISTI! To make the card I started by stamping the Diamond Tile Background using Silver Lake Altenew ink, once stamped I trimmed my panel down to 4" x 5 1/4" and set it aside. 

Next using my MISTI I Stamped the layered poppies and the leaves and cut them out using the coordinating dies. 

I die cut the HUGS sentiment and then stamped HUGS in black using the MISTI.

Once I had all the elements I arranged and adhered to the panel stamped previously. Using fun foam I adhered the panel onto top folding Pitch Black note card and added few black Nuvo drops. 

Impression Obsession: Old is New

Hi everyone,

Sometimes we get so busy with new released stamps that we forget about our old favorites. The Impression Obsession team has set aside a couple days a month to share some new projects using some great older stamps. You can see the list of today’s participants on the Impression Obsession blog.

For my card today I made alcohol ink background using blue, pink and purple hues and stamped the flourish image and Thank You Script sentiment in Versamark, then quickly embossed in white. Trimmed the panel down to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered to white top folding note card.

Picket Fence Studios: July Release is LIVE

Hi everyone!
And welcome to the Picket Fence July Release Reveal! It's another amazing release!!! And you don't want to miss it, there are stamps, dies, stencils and hot foil stamps and dies!!!

My first card uses the Peacocks Mandala stencil and the Hey You word die. I used a Jennifer McGuire technique to create by stenciled background. I stenciled first in pink, then turned the stencil for few degrees and applied white pigment ink.

For my next two cards I used the foiling dies, these are SO MUCH FUN!!!! I used the Merci one and the African Succulent. 

Last, but not the least is another stenciled card, but this time using the Fairy Wings stencil and again Jennifer McGuire technique. 

Altenew July 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil/Stamping Mat Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi everyone,
Today I am honored to participate in the new Altenew Release blog hop. There are so many wonderful products in this release and you don't want to miss it. Also there are prizes!!! Scroll to the bottom.
It's a blog hop full of wonderful creations from some amazing designers. So, if you are following the hop you should have arrived from The Hedgehog Hollow blog and your next stop would be Hussena Calcuttawala. If you just stumbled upon my blog by chance, then scroll down for the blog hop list or just go to the Altenew Card Blog to start the hop.

Along the amazing stamps, dies and stencils, Altenew is releasing a STAMPING MAT. It's amazing one!
Here's the description
The silicone grid mat is great for stamping, watercolor, ink blending, heat embossing, and everyday crafting! The mat features inches as well as metric measurements on the edges and a half inch grid. Due to the nature of the silicone surface, some grid lines have slight imperfections and are not completely straight. This will not affect the quality or functionality of the mat. Please note that due to the white color of the mat, using inks or coloring mediums may stain the mat. This will not affect the performance of the mat.

Material: Silicone Color: 

White Size: 12"x16" 

Surface: One side printed with a grid, one side non-slip 

Heat Resistant

Now, lets move onto the projects. For my first card I used the Sophisticated Wreath set and dies and paired it with the Mega Blessed die and Medallion layered cover dies. I kept my background white so it brings out the flowers more and the sentiment.

While I had my MISTIs all set up for the layer stamping on the Sophisticated Wreath, I stamped bunch and created bunch of same design cards but different color schemes. These are great for mass producing 

For my next card I used Charming Doodles and Something Wonderful sets. 

Here's another card using Charming doodles set, but this time I paired it up with a sentiment from the Sophisticated wreath and used the Geometric Frames die set to create the frame. I used the Charming doodle stencil to do my masking. I used the Antique Gold Pigment ink to stamp the images and sentiment on black. Don't you just love the results?

Then, I have a card using Graphic Brushstrokes set. I stamped the background twice in different shades of pink and added a sentiment stamped on black and embossed in white for some contrast.
