ALTENEW: JUNE 2022 MINI STAMPS WITH PURCHASE (Sneak Peak)

Hello,

I have a little sneak peak of some upcoming free sets in the month of June. They will be available for sale following their free debut. I just love the mini sets, but I am guilty of not pulling them out near enough. These are not in any order. 

First up- products used are:

Blooming Bundle Stamp Set
Blooming Bundle Die 
Diamond Frame Cover Die
Artist Marker Island Garden/ Set H
Artist Marker Sunshine Valley Garden/ Set F
Icy Water Crisp Dye Ink
Small Blending Brush
Permanent Black Ink
Obsidian Black Ink
Instant Dimension Foam Tape

I stamped the flowers with the Permanent Black Ink and colored them in with the Artist Markers, then die cut them out. I cut the Diamond Cover Die out. Ink blended the center of a white card base with the Icy Water ink, and stamped the sentiment. Adhered the Diamond Frame and then the flowers, adding Foam tape to the center flowers. And added a couple water droplet little things (found in my stash- do not know the name).                                                        (Free with Purchase Now)


Next one- products used are:

Bold Floral Stamp Set
Bold Floral Die 
Brick Rosette Builder Stencil Set
Tropical Leaf Mix Dies
Leaf Mix Dies
Permanent Black Ink
Northern Shores Crisp Dye Inks
Green Fields Crisp Dye Inks
Pocketful Of Sunshine Crisp Dye Inks
Pure White Embossing Powder
Embossing Ink
Small Blending Brush
Instant Dimension Foam Tape

I stamped the flower with the Permanent Black Ink and colored it in watercolor style (very little water) with a paintbrush and the crisp dye inks smashed onto a craft mat. Used the Die to cut it out and cut the leaf dies out of some white cardstock as well. I blended the Northern Shore Inks through the Rosette Stencils onto another piece of cardstock. Adhered the rosette panel and another panel with Winter Lake applied to the outer edges underneath to a white card base. Adhered the die cut leaves and the colored flower to the card. Stamped and embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered it to the card with some Instant Dimension Foam Tape.



 
Last up- products used are:

Cupped Flower Stamp Set
Classy Stripes Stencil
Woodless Coloring Pencils
Orange Cream Crisp Dye Ink
Warm Sunshine Crisp Dye Ink
Heart Beat Crisp Dye Ink
Aqualicious Crisp Dye Ink
Lavender Fields Crisp Dye Ink
Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink
Mini Blending Brushes
Obsidian Black Ink
Fine Liner Pen Set

I stamped a panel all over with the flower in Permanent Black Ink and colored them in with the Colored Pencils. Blended the inks through the stencil on another piece of cardstock with the Mini Blending Brushes. Cut the two panels in an angle and adhered them to a white card base. Stamped the sentiment in the Obsidian Black ink and adhered it along with a black strip underneath it that was slightly wider. Finally, I drew a line around the panels on the card with a Fine Liner Pen.


I hope you have enjoyed the sneak peaks, and look forward to the free sets when they become available.

MONOCHROMATIC DREAMS COME TRUE / ALTENEW VIDEO HOP + GIVEAWAY

Hello!

So glad you are visiting.

I was feeling some monochromatic vibes in my craft room today, and thought I would do something besides the gray cardstock with colored pencils that seems to be the go-to monochromatic color scheme the I tend to like the most. 
 
I stamped the outline images from the Wispy Joy Stamp Set onto some khaki cardstock with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it using Pure White Embossing Powder. I'd like to say that I was resisting buying more embossing powders until what I have was gone. But I went ahead and bought some of the Altenew ones besides the Platinum. They are very nice powders, and melt and react very well.

I used the Warm Gray Crisp Dye Inks with the flower layers to fill in the images and then used the Dies to cut them out.

I took another panel of khaki cardstock and dry embossed it with the Sylvan Baroque 3D Embossing Folder. I used Lave Rock and some white acrylic paint to add slatters on the panel. The panel needed something so I rubbed the raised parts with Morning Frost ink and adhered it to a white card base.



I colored a piece of cardstock with Lava Rock ink. When the ink was dry, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Dainty Swiss Dots Stamp Set.

Adhered the flowers and leaves- some with Instant Dimmension Foam Tape and some liquid glue and the finished by adding the sentiment.

ALTENEW: CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: FLORESCENCE RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY (300 in total prizes)



Hi Everyone!

Hope you have enjoyed the hop so far. You should have found your way from Bridget Casey, or you can go back to the beginning of the hop over on the Altenew card blog Here.

It actually took me a little while to think of what I wanted to do with the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Florescence. I’ve come up with two examples to share with you.


I began by stamping the two large images onto some Neenah cardstock with Permanent Black Ink. I used the Stencils and Small and Mini Blending Brushes to color in the images with Pink Pearl, Heart Beat, Ruby Red, Citrus Burst, Maple Yellow, Persian Blue, and Shadow Creek


I used the Dies to cut them out, and cut two blank ones out as well. I adhered them to a clear acetate card base. I heat embossed the sentiment on the front and added a drop shadow on the sentiment with a Fine Liner Pen.



For the second card, I heat embossed one of the  images onto some watercolor paper with Platinum Embossing Powder
I used the 24 Pan Watercolors to color them in. Then I used the 3D Embossing Folder on another piece of watercolor cardstock and ran it through my die cut machine. I added a wash of color over it with the 24 Pan Watercolors

I splattered the panel with some black gauche and then adhered the 3D Embossed panel to a white card base with a strip of The Gilded Glitter Cardstock. I cut the painted panel out with the Die and adhered that to the card. Finally, I stamped the sentiment with some Obsidian Black Ink.
