Altenew Build-A-Flower: Semi-Double Chrysanthemum Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Are you ready for a new Build-A-Flower?  I just love this series from Altenew!  Such an awesome way to add color.....especially for those of us who like quick and simple!  Today's newest bloom is the Semi-Double Chrysanthemum.  These stamps have some amazing detail and can create lots of different cards.  Keep scrolling to see my project for today, the prizes...yes, don't forget to leave a comment on each stop, and then the full blog hop list!

Here is today's creation....

I wanted a clean and graphic look for today's card so that bloom would pop!  I used Altenew's Striped Circle Background in Obisidan Black ink for the base.

I stamped the flowers from the set using just the fill in stamps and not the outline.  This almost gives it a realistic look!  To finish it off, I popped the flowers up with foam tape and added a simple sentiment from the Many Thanks Stamp Set.

You are my Sunshine {Concord and 9th}...

Concord and 9th has several new sets this month and I wanted to stop in and share a few more projects using these sets!  

First up I made a card using my favorite ever rainbow set called Rainbow Wishes from Concord and 9th.  Sadly, this set was just retired but you can still get the Rainbow Wishes Dies that you can use to make a card very similar to this!

To add detail to this card, I used the new Kids are Grand sentiment set and the Kids are Grand dies.  I added a frame using a straight edge and a pen to complete this card.   I just love that little sunshine die!  So cute!

I created 2 cards using the Petite Pals and the Petite Pals dies.....

I used a masking stencil for this first card and added the sky and grass.  Then I stamped the adorable little Pals and cut them out.  I popped them up holding the little banner die.  Just for a fun little detail, I added in some washi in the top corner. 

I wanted to try a different layout for this next card, using the same elements....

I added in the grass and sky color with some ink blending and then popped up the pals and their banner a little spaced out.  I did have to do a little mirror stamping to create her upper body so she could hold the banner in the correct way.  Again, I added the little bit of washi just for some added sparkle. 

Check out the full Concord and 9th February Release by clicking HERE!  I had so much fun guesting this month and can't wait to keep using these amazing new stamps and dies!  

If you haven't had a chance to check out the C9 ink,  I would highly recommend it!  They have some amazing colors and it stamps out beautifully! Check out the ink by clicking HERE!

Thanks so much for coming by today!  Hope you have a great day!

Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Clematis & Artist Alcohol Markers Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello friends!  Today Altenew has some new Alchohol Marker Sets available and I did a little coloring.  Altenew's markers blend so easily that it has really made it fun to color!

To create this card, I used the Tulip 3D Embossing folder to create a texture for the background.  Then using the new Sunshine Valley Garden Set, I colored up these roses and leaves.  I am no pro when it comes to coloring so I just simply layered in some color and let the markers do the blending. 

I added my favorite sentiment strip sentiment in to finish off the card!
