I took a piece of 4 1/4' x 5 1/2' Cardstock and put painters tapes on the gaps. Then I applied embossing inks on those middle parts.
Once happy I heat embossed using the wow embossing powder Punch.
After that I went ahead and used the ALtenew botanical you stamp set using my green Ink fields ink pads and Sea shore Ink pads . I stamped the word you on another sheet of neenah solar white and die cut the word to stick using foam tape.

Today , I have created a peony flower and sunflower using helmar 450. the flower tutorial was given by a lady from Thailand and I just put them together with the help of her tutorial. She did send me all the supplies to make my flowers.
Today , I am sharing a project which was created partially created by my son and the rest by me. As I my son is in his school holidays so we went to local bunnings shop and bought a MDF frame.
I also bought some Acrylic colour pens from Life of color and I loved how smooth they are to work with.
So firstly my son did some zentangle on the frame with Life of colour Black pen and made some geometric design on it.
Then i went ahead and filled it with the some coloured life of colour pens .
Once finished off my painting I sealed it 2-3 layers with the Crystal Kote Gloss Varnish. to get a glossy finish.
Hope you like my project .
The products which I used from Helmar you can buy them on this website.
Today I am sharing my project as a guest designer for Altenew again . Sorry my post is a bit long as wanted to explain on how I create my cards.
Here are my projects. Its was really a fun and a good way to challenge myself for this. Projects which I have created are show casing the new July release for Altenew.
Project 1: Luminary With Floral In "N" Out Border Die
Materials Needed:
Altenew Floral In N Out border die
Cardstock Measuring 8 inches x 13 inches ( do not cut the barcode out)
Glitter or Mirror Cardstock 4 3/8 inch x 4 3/8 inch
Glitter or Mirror cardstock 2 inches x 13 inches
Lights to put inside the box
Altenew Tabbed Die
Steps:
First take a piece of cardstock measuring 8 inches x 13 inches
Keeping the shorter side on the top Score at 1 3/4 inches
Now keeping the cardstock on longer side score at 3', 6' , 9' and 12 inch. (see the picture for reference).
Before moving on to cut the edge put your dies on the box area to die cut the images out.
Now cut the areas as shown in picture. Only till the 1 3/4 inch fold.
Once its ready put everything together with the help of glue or strong tape.
Your semi finished Luminary will look like the picture below.
Now making the lid and the legs.
For the lid I took a glitter card stock which measures 2 inches x 13 inches.
Now score the glitter cardstock at 1/2 inch on the long side.
Also score on the short side at 3 inch , 6 inch, 9 inch and 12 inch.
For making it look like legs I used the Altenew Tabbed dies to make the legs.
Assemble the legs just like the box was assembled and stick at the bottom of the box.
Bottom once put together will look like this
Now making the lid;
For the lid take a glitter card stock measuring 4 3/8 inch x 4 3/8 inch
Score it at 5/8 inch all around and cut slits on 4 sides as shown in the picture
Once they are all assembled together the finish Luminary will look like these.
Pattern paper from Cheerful meadows paper pack 4 pcs 2 inches x 5 1/4 inch
back cardstock
Pattern paper circle slighly bigger to cover your thanks circle
Halftone circle dies
Two small circles from halftone nesting circle dies
Sentiment from Courageous You stamps

Steps:
First I took the cardstock 5 1/2 inch by 8 1/2" (base cardstock) and score at 2 1/8 inch, 4 1/4 inch and 6 3/8 inch.
Also score the 1 inch strip in half too.
The I glued all my pattern paper to my bases. I have got two red base , 1 flower side and one black for sentiment side.
Once I was happy with everything then I stamped my sentiments from the Stamp set Courageous You , the sentiment which I used is "You are great".
Now for the assembly of this. Take that 1 inch strip which was scored in half and stick on the one side of the base cardstock from inside ( this will look like a flap). apply some adhesive on the other 1/2inch and stick on the other side of the base card stock making it look like a box.
Now coming on the other side.
First I cut out my Thanks circle on a black cardstock then I took a circle die which is slightly bigger than your thanks circle and die cut that out. Once this was done I used the same circle die to cut my pattern paper circleout too.
Adhering that to the corner of your box. This was not that tricky. Here is how I did. I used those two smaller circle and scored each of them in half . See the picture below on how I stuck them on the base box. ( I used one of the button punches instead of circle dies)
Then on top of this I stuck my circle thanks. To finish of my card I used some of the clear heart embellishments.

I die cut out the border from that Strip of cardstock.
Then I took the back card stock with same measurements I turned my border die and outlined the die on the black cardstock.
Then fussy cut my out line to give a back backing on the cut out image.
On my base Kraft cardstock I then went and made a line slightly on the left of the middle of my card stock so that I can stamp some foliage on the other side of the card . For my foliage I have used the coral charm stamps.
After that I stock my die cut out Border with the Black mat on the line of the back cardstock. Sprayed some white and put my Satin white emblishments.
Stamped my sentiments from the stamp set called Starry flowers and then got my black and white backing on the back of the base Kraft cardstock.
Today I have tried to make a desktop calendars tutorial. I have used Helmar Scrapdots. This glue is fantastic to work with and they are quick to dry too. They do give you ample time to play around and get the things at right place.
I have tried to create a video tutorial for easier understanding. I may not be great at making videos (its like teething problem) but I have tried my best to explain myself on how I created this Desktop calendar.

Hello All, I am here again with another Card I created with Altenew stamps, dies and Wow! Changers embossing powder. When I saw these wow embossing powder , I was so fascinated to use them. So here is a card that I made.
Here is a step by step tutorial for you to try it yourself too. Materials Needed for this card:
Neenah Solar white
Altenew Black permanent ink
Altenew Cheerful Meadows paper pack
Altenew Flowering Cistus Stamp set and Coordinating dies
Altenew Greenfield Inks
Altens Lapis Ink pads
Altenew Warm Sunshine ink pad
Altenew Expresso Ink Pad
Wow! It changes Embossing powder
Wow Embossing powder Blue .
Altenew Colour Wheel Die
Altenew Golden Spray
Wow embossing powder red glitz
Versamark embossing ink pad
Steps for background:
First I die cut out a colour wheel and will make it work as a stencil.
Then I mixed Wow sheen from wow Changers with a wow red glitz embossing powder in a separate container.
Then I took my die cut and placed over the neenah solar white and gently dabbed over it with versamark ink pad so that I can sprinkle my mixed red glitz and sheen over it.
Then heat embossed.
Can you see the difference in both the embossing powder? Wow Changers really changes!
Steps for Flowers and Leaves:
For my Flowers I used the ink pad Lapzis. Since its a 3 layer flower so for my lighter flowers I took the lightest to the 2 generation ink pad * and for darker I started from 2nd light and 3rd ink pad*.
* when I was doing last layer instead of using my ink pad I used versamark embossing ink and a mixed embossing powder ( which is now mixe of Wow Blue embossing powder with Wow Changer Glisten)
For my leaves I have just used and layered them with Green field Ink pads.
For my final touches before arranging my cards I splattered some Gold spray from Altenew and stamped my Thank you sentiment at last.
