Thank You

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing a thank you card that I made using Altenew's Peony Bouquet stamp set. I have had this stamp set in my stash for a while and I have so many challenges in lining up the stamps. I felt like making a card with just stamps as I haven't made a card like that for a while so I sat down, watched a few tutorials on Youtube, failed miseably, gave up and tried again but tried a differently and finally did it ....Yah!!!! If you like me have had problems lining these stamps up, this is how I did it.

I had to use my MISTI. I stamped the outline stamp first, then the first detailed stamp, then the second detailed stamp and finally the solid image. This worked for me for all of the stamps in this stamp set. You also have to look straight down over the stamp to line it up before inking it up on the MISTI.

This is just a quick post.

Hello everyone! I haven't made a card for a little while and I thought I needed a break from writing my school reports and decided to have some creative time. I liked the Tic Tac Toe challenge and decided to play along!

I have used specialty papers - thread- and builder stamps in my card.

I used papers from Kaisercraft Bow and Arrow collection as my base papers. I machine stitched around the edge of my papers (thread part of the challenge). I then stamped the largest flower and leaves from the Altenew Peony Bouquet and die cut them with their matching dies.

I have been wanting to have a card that had a trellis, so I created one using two Spellbinder dies. I used two rectangular dies to create the frame and then used a background die to create the rest of the trellis. I die cut the Kensinton Brand die by Memory Box and used sponge daubers and distress inks to colour it in! Once dry I added clear Wink of Stella to the butterflies and to the flowers.

Supplies:

Paper: Kaisercraft Bow and Arrow  6 1/2" paper pad

Stamps: Altenew Peony Bouquet and dies

Inks: Distress inks spun sugar, worn lipstick, picked rasberry, shabby shutters and gathered twigs

Altenew frosty pink, cotton candy, coral berry, frayed leaf, forest glaciers and evergreen, Wink of Stella clear

Dies: Memory Box Kensignton Branch, Spellbinders Long Classic rectangle and Grateful Lattice

Hello everyone! It is the start of school holidays and now I can stuck into all of the craft projects that I have been wanting to do but haven't had the time to start. I have been wanting the Altenew Peony Bouquet Stamp set for a while and I ordered it and I had a play with it. I just love it! I think that I will need to order to the matching die as I fussy cut this one out and I think having the die would be much easier. To create my card, I actually stamped the flower twice and I have applied foam tape and to the second flower to add some dimension. I had to use my MISTI to be accurate as when I used my stamp block, I was hit and miss with the layers.

Supplies:

Paper: Maja Design Summer Crush

Stamps: Altenew Peony Bouquet and Build A Rose Stamp and Die

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versafine Onyx Black
Altenew  Crisp Inks Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy and Coral Berry, Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades and Evergreen

Dies: Spellbinders A2 Filigree Delight, Dienamics Fishtail Flags Stax

Other: Hemp and Bakers Twinw, Kaisercraft Pearls, MISTI
