Heartfelt Wishes

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing a card which features dies and stamps. I love the detail in the Altenew stamps and in particular one of my favourites is the Vintage Roses set. I have made a few cards in the past using this set and I manage to find new ways to showcase the stamped flowers in a configuration that I am pleased with.

My first layer is a complimentary pink cardstock followed by Spellbinders die cut which is adhered with foam tape. A pink oval followed by a white oval and then the two fishtail flags are layered on top. I adhered the ovals with foam tape, as well as the leaves to add dimension and depth to my card. Finally I added the flowers and some sequins to complete.

Supplies

Stamp: Altenew Vintage Roses, Hero Arts Everyday Messages

Paper: Kaisercraft Coconut and Musk Cardstock

Ink: Altenew Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen, Versafine Onxy Black Ink

Dies: Altenew Vintage Roses, Die0namics Fishtail Flags, Cheery-Lynn Horizon Fishtail Banners,  

Other: Darice Crystal Cup Sequins

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Love Always plus a tutorial

Hello everyone! This post has taken me a while as its been a very busy week! I was inspired to do do some stamping and created this card using Altenew's Vintage Roses Stamp set. I have a few of these layering stamp sets as I love the depth and the beautiful images you can create with them.

I decided to have a heart shaped wreath as the focal of my card and to stamp my flowers around this.

I selected the lace background paper from the Shabby Chic backgrounds as I thought that the stamps would compliment it the best. I fussy cut the butterfly from the ephemera to add another soft romantic touch to the card. I stamped my sentiment onto some vellum so that my stamping would still remain visible.

Below is a tutorial demonstrating how to create the stamped heart floral wreath.

Thank You

Hello everyone. Today I am sharing some thank you cards that I made last year. I had five parent helpers who assisted in my class throughout the year. I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire who shared a tutorial on mass producing cards using the MISTI. You can watch her tutorial here. I also fell in love with the Altenew stamps which she used in her demonstration...vintage and roses... I practised stamping the roses and I can say it does take practise and managed to create five cards in one night. I had the same design for each, but just changed the papers.

I used Maja Design Enjoying Outdoors Collection and each card still looks unique! The MISTI tool is expensive but is certainly worth the investment...particularly for layered stamping and also for mass producing cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
