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.

Supplies:

Meg’s Garden

Paper: Shabby Chic Backgrounds ephemera and lace

Altenew Vintage Roses Stamp and Die

Hello everyone! I have a one layered card to share today. It's eventually going to be part of a gift set of cards that I plan to make. I purchased this layering flamingo set and hadn't had a chance to play with it.

This card was very simple to make. I used the stamps plus the coordinating die to create the main image. The background is a Tim Holtz  stamp .

Supplies:

Stamp and Die: Hero Arts Color Layering Flamingo

Ink: Hero Arts Shadow soft pink, soft blossom and pale tomato, Hero Hues black (flamingo)

Background:  Tim Holtz Brushstrokes
Ink: Hero Arts shadow ink soft pool, tide pool and Altenew mango smoothie

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
