Hello there, and welcome to my blog! I am super excited to join Altenew for the March 2023 Stamp/Die/Stencil & More Release Blog Hop #1 + Giveaway. You should be arriving here from the talented Dana’s blog, but if not, you can go back to the start, at the Altenew Card Blog and go from there.
Project 1
I started by die cutting the tree from Jet Black cardstock using the Archways Die Set. Then I die cut the background panel using the Mix and Match Frames Die Set. To create the sun, I die cut a mask using a circle die and stuck it on the card panel. I then inked it using Citrus Burst, Orange Cream, Heart Beat, Vineyard Berry and Rhodolite Crisp Dye Inks and an ink blending tool.
Next, I stuck the tree on the card panel. After that, I stamped the sentiment from the All Things Orange Stamp Set using Obsidian Pigment Ink. Lastly, I stuck this card panel on a Jet black cardstock.
Supplies:
Project 2
First, I die cut the dragon fly from Jet Black cardstock using the Delicate Dragonflies Die Set. Then I embossed the wings using antique gold embossing powder.
To create the glow in the background, I inked an A2 Jet Black cardstock using Arctic and Persian Blue Pigment inks.
After that, I embossed the sentiment from the Paint-A-Flower: Hydrangea Outline Stamp Set using antique gold embossing powder. I then stuck the dragon fly on the panel and stuck this panel on an A2 card base.
Supplies:
Project 3
I stamped the moon from To the Moon Stamp Set on a white A2 cardstock using the below Crisp Dye Inks:
Layer 1 – Pink Pearl and Heart Beat
Layer 2 – Heart Beat and Vineyard Berry
Next, I embossed the card panel using the Bamboo Branches 3D Embossing Folder and inked it using the coordinating stencil, Jet Black Crisp Dye Ink and an ink blending tool.
Then I die cut the sentiment using the Vertical Greetings Die Set. Lastly, I assembled the card and stuck it on an A2 card base.
Supplies:
Project 4
First, I stamped the panda from the Roaming Pandas Stamp Set using Obsidian Pigment Ink and die cut it using the coordinating die.
Next, I embossed the bamboos in the background on an A2 cardstock using the Bamboo Branches 3D Embossing Folder. Then I inked it using the coordinating stencils and Bamboo, Parrot, Olive and Moss Crisp Dye Inks.
After that, I die cut the grass using the dies from the Roaming Pandas Die Set. I then inked the panel using Just Green, Hunter Green and Green Onyx Crisp Dye Inks. Next, I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Obsidian Pigment Ink. As the last step, I assembled the card and stuck it on an A2 card base.
