Altenew June 2023 Stamps, Dies, Stencils, and More Release Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the June 2023 Release Blog Hop!  There are some amazing new stamps and dies so check out the full release by clicking HERE!

I am using a new favorite die set...Orange Blossom Die Set!

To create this card, I added some washi tape to the card front for a framed mask.  I added a little bit of Volcano Lake ink for a light blend.  

Next, I die cut all the colors of cardstock to create this fun little branch.  I added a sentiment and some dew drops to finish off the card.

A little info about commenting here on my blog....

My comments are moderated because I get a ton of spam.  The kind of spam that tells me about cholesterol medication, among others, and just weird bot comments so I filter those out.  If you leave a comment and don't see it, thats ok!  I will see it and I will get it posted for you.  

The other issue is wether or not you need a google account.  I have my comments set to "anyone" so technically you should be able to leave a comment with any type of login, but Blogger is a pain.  If you can't leave a comment and are not sure if you your name is posting along with your comment, please add your name and email address to the end of your comment. This way we can see who you are if your comment gets chosen as a winner!  I am sorry for the annoyance.  I have no idea why it doesn't work like it should.  I have googled and switched settings around and tried all the things but again... 

Blogger is a pain.

Altenew April 2023 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

HI friends!  Hopping along with Altenew today for their latest release! Click HERE to check it out! 

Today's card showcases the new Bundle called Sweet Bouquet.  In this set you will find a stamp set, a coordinating stencil set, and the coordinating dies.  You can purchase each item individually too, if you'd like!

To create this card, I stamped the main image, used the stencils to brush in color and then popped it up onto a card base.  I added in the sentiment from the stamp set and then finished the edge with some striped paper.  Super simple!  I just love these blooms and how easy they are to create!

Altenew March 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop #1 + Giveaway

 

Welcome to the March 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Blog Hop!  I have the most adorable new Hot Foil Plate and its coordinating stencil to share with you today.  Keep scrolling to see my project, learn all about the giveaway and to check out more creative projects from the Design Team.  

Let me show you the latest, Spark Joy: Sweet Strawberries!

To create this card, I hot foiled the Strawberries in Gold Foil and then used the coordinating stencils to add in the color.  I love how easy this is! 

Next, I added a scored frame around the card front for a little extra detail.  To finish off the card, I used the Versatile Greetings Die set, along with some Brushed Gold Metallic Cardstock to add in the sentiment.  LOVE this Brushed Gold Cardstock!!  Such a gorgeous look!

See the full release by clicking HERE! 

_____________________________________

Are you new to hot foiling?

To get the gorgeous hot foiled look, you need a platform called Glimmer Hot Foil System.  This platform heats up the Hot Foil Plates.  Altenew has Hot Foil Plates in ALL different types....sentiments, florals, backgrounds, graphic details etc....and add the most gorgeous foiling detail to your cards.  And the foils?  There are LOTS of different colors to chose from!

Here are some links to help point you in the right direction....

Glimmer Hot Foil System

Glimmer Hot Foil Rolls

Altenew Hot Foil Plates

The Glimmer Hot Foil System works great with a Platinum 6 Die Cut machine from Spellbinders but also works with other die cut machines. You can click HERE to see a compatibility chart.  

First you heat up the platform and your glimmer plate on the Glimmer System Platform.  Then you add in the foil and the cardstock and run it thorough your die cut machine.  Once you pull off the foil negative, the magic happens!  That foil that is set on your cardstock and the results are just gorgeous!
