Hello Everyone

Today I am sharing a card which was truly an inspiration from a beautiful lady Natasha Davies . I am so inspired by her work that I tried to create and use one of her techniques in my card.

For my card I have used wow embossing powder to create my background and one of Altenew stamps called Botanical You.

Matrials:

-Botanical You stamps

-Botanical You dies

-Pick me up embossing powder and Embossing Ink

-Neenah Solar white

-Altenew Greenfields Ink pads

-Altenew Sea Shore Ink pads

-Altenew Black Permanent ink pads

Steps:

-For My background I have created a small video which you can watch and follow.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_n2qHL40Nug&t=13s

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.
• I stamped the sentiment with the black permanent ink to finish my card

Hope you all like it. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

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

• 

• 

• 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.

• Now making the lid;
• For the lid take a glitter card stock measuring 4 3/8 inch x 4 3/8 inch

Project 2: Fold Out Flat Box Card

Materials Needed:

• Altenew Circled Greeting Die Thanks
• Cardstock Measuring 5 1/2 inches x 8 1/2 inches (base cardstock)
• Cardtsock 1 inch x 5 1/2"
• 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
• Altenew Permanent Ink pad

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.

Project 3: Slimline Congrats cards

Materials Needed:

• Altenew Courageous You Stamp set

• Bristol Smooth 8 3/4 inch x 4 3/4 inch
• Back Cardtsock 9 inch x 5 inch

Once stamped my flowers I went and coloured my background with the Altenew watercolour Brush markers. I have used the following colours

• Ruby red ( Flowers)
• Midnight Violet ( Flowers)
• Sea Breeze ( Flowers)
• Turquoise( Flowers)
• Evening Grey (background)
• Moss (leaf)
• Limeade (leaf)
• Fresh Lemon ( Flowers)

After they were all dried I used white gel pen to give some little dots in between my flowers.

For my sentiments I stamped congrats with mega label and stuck on my card finishing it with the back mat behind. I also added some pearls on my card.

Project 4: Card with Floral In N Out Border Die

Materials Needed:

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.

Hello Everyone,

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.

• 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.

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.

Hope you all liked it.

Don't forget to leave your lovely comments.

Thanks

4. Once finish fussy cut out the extra piece from the bottom where the image was stamped.
5. For the yellow part which is done on the other piece of card stock ,I have used honey Drizzle from pocket full of shine and done some blending with my Blending brush.
6. Stick both the piece together so that the bottom yellow in underneath the stamped image.

2. Then on both the card stock score at 2" and 4" and folded and stick the middle together
3. I also die cut out the Delicate mandala die on neenah solar white 80lbs
4. I first stamped two times the floral image. First on Neenah Solar white and other on a masking paper. And fussy cut the masking paper one or use the dies if you have.
5. Once I finished stamping the first floral image I covered that with the masking paper and stamped one more so that I have three flowers together .I followed the layering guide provided on the back of the stamps set. I love fussy cutting so I cut out my floral image but you can use dies to cut them out.
6. I also stamped several leaves with Green field Ink pad and die cut them out too.
7. For my Sentiments, I cut out three piece of Thanks from Fancy Thanks die and layered them on top of each other to give depth.

9. To finish of my card I have used Antique Gold Sequins.

CARD 3 and 4 :

The two cards I am explaining together because they have the similar techniques , but I have used different Colours in them.

Materials Used:

1. Precious Blooms Stamp Set
2. Green Fields Ink Pad
3. lapis Ink Pads
4. Rose Petal Ink pad
5. Pocketful of sun shine ink pad
6. Shades of purple ink pad
7. Scripty Wold die 2
8. Halftone Happy Stamp
9. neenah Solar White for card base
10. Strathmore Watercolour paper
11. Altenew Obsidian
12. Antique Gold Sequins

Steps for water Colouring: this step is for both cards and you just need to just change colours as per your requirement.

1. Trim your watercolour card stock to 5.5 ” by 4.25” and stamps the floral image where you want using white embossing powder and versamark Ink. Use a heat tool to set.
2. Onto a piece of masking sheet, stamp the floral images again and cut these images out, leaving a little border. Place the equivalent mask over your first stamped image and position your next stamped image. Repeat the process as in Step 1 – use embossing ink, embossing power and heat to set
3. Do the above 1 and 2 for your leaves as well.
4. Press out your lightest ink colour on to a glass mat and spritz with water. Load up a brush and wash this over the surface of your water colour card. Pick up more of the wash and add to the centre of your stamped image, building the colour.
5. Take your next darkest colour ink and once again, press this on to your glass mat and spritz with water. This time, add this colour to where the darker areas would be in your design; in this case, it’s the centre of the flowers and areas that would be in shadow.
6. Next, take your darkest ink colour, press this on to your glass mat and spritz with water. For this final layer, concentrate your colour to thevery centre of the flower and areas where there would be the most shadow. The colours from your previous layers should blend together giving a more natural effect.
7. To make the image “pop” from the page, water down your darkest ink colour and add a shadow in the areas that would be underneath your design.

Additional Steps for Blue card:

1. I used the sentiments from Just Jasmin
2. I also splattered some black jet black ink pad diluted with water to add extra effects in the back ground.

Additional Steps for Happy Birthday card:

1. I cut our Happy word from the die set Scripty Word 2 and stamped Birthday from halftone Happy Stamp set.
2. To finish of my card I have used Antique Gold Sequins as flower centers.

CARD 5 :

Materials Used:

1. Just Jasmin Stamp Set
2. Cotton Candy Ink pad
3. Cotton candy Artist Marker
4. Fancy Thanks Die
5. Neenah Solar White
6. Altenew Obsidian

Steps:

1. Take a piece of 4.25'x 5.5' neenah Solar white
2. Place your Stamps on the cardstock to create your background with clear embossing powder and Versamark ink pad
3. Once you are happy with your background , take your artist marker and give same shading to your flowers as you like.
4. With the help of Blending brush and Cotton candy Ink pad, colour the whole background.
5. Cut out a piece of Thanks from the Fancy Thanks dies and adhere them to your card.
6. I stamped the sentiments from the Just Jasmin stamp which says "Thanks for all you Do" I trim the thanks out from the sentiment after stamping and just used the words "for all you do".

Hello Card makers and Bloggers
Its been a long time since I wrote my last blog. Was so busy after my Altenew Educator Program which I cleared in July. Yes you heard me right !! Finally I am a FIRST Australian Certified educator for Altenew . Yahoo!! I am very excited.
Now coming back to the topic. This time my blog is not about Altenew creation. Or you can say I have used some of the products from Altenew like their inks and sentiments to make few of my cards, but I had few Crafters Companions embossing Folders sitting with me so I though lets get some inspirations and spread some inspiration.
I have also followed Jennifer Mcguire for inspirations.
So here are few of the things I made:

I will try and Explain what I did with each of them one by one.
The one I took the Crafters Compaion Indian Summer 3D Embossing Folder and Altenew inks.

The Next one is the Crafts Companion Floral Fusion Along with Finnabair Metalic wax and Altenew Ink.

This one is just on white with Flourishing Frames

Trust me this was white paper and I have used crafters Companion Zen Garden , Redesign Wax along with picket fence blending brush

The Next one is my favorite and this Embossing folder is In the Garden

Spreading some love with Love Blossom

Now coming onto come cards which I have created

You can see the cards which I have made are with some of the folders which I have shown above. The Sentiments used on the cards are from Altenew.
Hope you all like it.
Thanks
