Altenew Mixed Media Ink Lovers Blog Hop + Giveaway

13 August 2020

Welcome to the Altenew Mixed Media Inks Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Audrey Yeager 's blog you are right on track and this is also your last stop on the hop. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

The Mixed Media Inks are super fun and I have already used them to customise t-shirts but there are many other possibilities.

I am a teacher and currently planning my lessons for the coming year. This year I have decided to create interactive notebook with my students so I needed one to plan all the interactive elements.

Having a pretty notebook makes it so much more fun so I decided to customise mine with a butterfly stencil and the Mixed media inks. I can't wait to add all my interactive class lessons elements.

I love how the ink sits on the craft paper. It is soft and really pretty.

You can see how I created this cover below or watch it in HD on YouTube.

My next project, is a personalised napkin. I love finding ways to reduce waste and we use washable napkins at home. Having a personalised one with the initial makes it extra special. I love making these when family over. They each have a personalised napkin.

The inks make it super easy to create these napkins and they are washable.

You can see how I created these fun custom napkin below or watch the video in HD on YouTube.

Altenew August 2020 Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Wax Seals Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

11 August 2020

Welcome to the Summer Nights Blog Hop. If you have hopped over from Erum Tasneem's blog (my crafty

hero), you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

Today's release is spectacular and there are so many new fabulous products to fit everyone's style. I created three projects that are all very different.

My first is a card using the Baby Shower Stamp Set that I coloured with some watercolours. It is such a cute set and can be used for many occasions.

For my second card I used the Darling Rose Stamp and Die Set.

How to:

Brush water to a piece of watercolour paper and add two or three watercolour colours. Let the colours mix and blend together naturally adding water if needed. Create two shades: one for the flower and another for the leaves. Leave to dry.
Stamp the rose and leaves onto the coloured paper.
Cut out the shapes.
Pull out a fun stencil and create a contrasting background.
Adhere your rose and leaves using foam tape.
Stamp a sentiment and add your favourite embellishments (enamel dots, sequins, ...)

I really love the loose look of this rose and it is easy to do. This is a great technique if you want to create a whole bunch of cards and don't have time to colour each flower separately.

My last project is a 12 by 12 layout. I picked the whimsical Floral Minimalism Stamp, Die and Mask/Stencil Set. This set is super easy to use as there are only two layers.

My design is based around one horizontal line with a cluster of floral elements around it and a photo. I also added two repetitive elements to the top and bottom of the layout to add flow and frame the centre part.

For added whimsy I doodled on the leaves and added a couple of swirls around my floral arrangement. Inks splatters using the crisp inks that I used for the stamped images fill up the white space. When adding the splatters I tried to keep them on a diagonal to guide the eye over the photo.

You can see how this layout came together in the video below or watch it in HD on YouTube.

I had such fun with this release and I'm sure you'll find a product to fit your needs.

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Daisy Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

7 August 2020

Welcome to the August 2020 Craft-A-Flower Daisy Release Blog Hop. If you have hopped over from Kelly Griglione's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

This month's CAF set is WONDERFUL. I loved putting together these amazing flowers and they are just the right size. When I use layering dies I usually BATCH die cut a whole bunch. I have a couple of flowers that I'll be able to use on several projects. I put the extra flowers in my little embellishment bowl.

I picked out some pretty cardstock papers from my paper stash. I went with yellow and added some brown for the centre.

Once I had cut out the different elements I assembled all the flowers and leaves. For my card background I used a patterned paper from the 6*6 Cheerful Meadows paper pack. The sentiment comes from the Floral Shadow Stamp Set and is stamped with Obsidian Black Ink.

As I was looking a my card I felt something was missing so I added some stems by drawing some fine lines with a black journaling pen.

I'll be using this set a lot as I love the size of the flower and the simplicity of it. It is so super easy to put together.

You can see how this layout came together in the video below:
