Altenew Whimsical Wonder Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello and welcome back to my blog! It’s time for the April release and I am so excited to join Altenew for the Whimsical Wonder Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Release Blog Hop. You should be arriving here from Jenny’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 stamping the cup from the Tea For Two Stamp Set on an A2 watercolour cardstock using Embossing Ink. Then I sprinkled antique gold embossing powder on it, dusted off the excess and heat set it. After masking it, I repeated the above step to stamp the cup and teapot.

I then masked them and inked the top portion of the card panel using Pumpkin Pie and Sicilian Amber Crisp Inks along with my blender brushes. I then smooshed these inks on my craft mat and splattered them on the background. I also splattered Jet Black Ink on it. After unmasking the images, I used the Pumpkin Pie and Sicilian Amber Crisp Inks and a round detail brush to colour them. Next, I used the coordinating stencil to lightly ink the images using Pumpkin Pie Crisp Ink along with an ink blending tool.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Obsidian Pigment Ink and stuck this panel on an A2 card base.

Project 2

For this card, I stamped the outlines from the Scalloped Ornaments Stamp Set on Neenah Solar White cardstock using Obsidian Pigment Ink.

Then I stamped the rest of the layers using the below Crisp Dye inks:
Flower 1:
1st Layer – Fresh Lemon and Orange Cream
2nd and 3rd Layer – Coral Bliss and Vineyard Berry
4th Layer – Pink Pearl
5th Layer – Citrus Burst
6th Layer – Firefly and Just Green
7th Layer – Hunter Green

Flower 2:
1st Layer – Coral Bliss and Vineyard Berry
2nd Layer – Fresh Lemon and Orange Cream
3rd and 4th Layer – Pink Pearl and Coral Bliss
5th Layer – Firefly and Just Green
6th Layer – Pink Pearl
7th and 8th Layer – Firefly and Just Green
9th Layer – Hunter Green
10th Layer – Heart Beat

Next, I die cut these images using the coordinating die set.

After that, I die cut the vase from Neenah Solar White cardstock using the Mod Vases Die set. Then I inked one side of the Ornamental Feature 3D Embossing Folder using Ultramarine Crisp ink, placed the vase in it and ran it through my die cutting machine.

To create the background, I inked one side of the Enchanting Vines 3D Embossing Folder using Limestone Crisp Ink. Then I placed an A2 cardstock on it and embossed it. Next, I stuck the washi tapes from the Fall Harvest Slim Washi Tape Set on a cardstock strip and stuck it on the card panel. I then assembled the card and stuck the panel on a card base.

Project 3

First, I stamped the image and the sentiment from the Dreamy Cat Stamp Set on an A2 Neenah Solar White cardstock using Obsidian Pigment Ink. Then I sprinkled clear embossing powder on it and heat set it. Next, I masked the image and inked the edges using Starlight, Desert Night and Jet Black Crisp Inks along with my blender brushes.

After that, I unmasked the image and inked it using the coordinating stencil. Below are the colours of the Crisp Dye inks I used:
Cat – Silver Stone
Moon – Fresh Lemon
Blanket and pillow – Heart Beat

Lastly, I stuck this card on an A2 card base.

Project 4

I decided to make a quick CAS card using the Tie Dye Motifs Stamp Set. For card 1, I stamped the images using Fresh Lemon, Autumn Blaze, Sunray, Frosty Pink, Citrus Burst and Vineyard Berry Crisp Dye Inks. 

For card 2, I stamped the images using Firefly, Grass Field, Wisteria, Starlight, Sea Breeze and Ultraviolet Crisp Dye Inks. 

Next, I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Obsidian Pigment Ink.

Project 5

For my last card, I used the stamp from the Folk Art Stamp Set and embossed it on an A2 red cardstock using antique gold embossing powder. Then I inked the edges using Grapevine and Jet Black Crisp inks along with my ink blending tools. Next, I coloured the image using a white colour pencil and a white gel pen.

After that, I embossed the sentiment on a strip of red cardstock from the same stamp set using gold embossing powder and inked the edges using the above inks. As the last step, I stuck the card panel on an A2 card base.
