Altenew November 2017 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway
November 8, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Altenew for their November blog hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from the Altenew Card Blog.
I have a couple of projects to share featuring a few new products from the November release.
This first card features the Snapshots stamp & die set. I inked the camera stripes with Pink Diamonds & Pinkalicous and added a fun puffy sticker to the center of the camera. I made this card for my daughter Alex. She loves polaroids so I cut a small frame using this cut file on my Silhouette to frame a photo of us.
I layered some Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper for the background and used the Creative Edges: Notebook die to add detail to the sides of the pattern paper. I embossed a sentiment from the Story of Us stamp set.
This next card features the Story of Us stamp set. I layered two of these gorgeous multi-step stamping blooms and popped them up to frame the sentiment that is also from the Story of Us.

Pretty Pink Posh November Blog Hop
November 3, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pretty Pink Posh for Day 2 of their November blog hop.
My first card features the Joy Shaker Die & the Wild Rose stamp set.
For the background I embossed the blooms from the Wild Rose stamp set all over a panel of Neenah Solar White in clear and used distress inks to create a colorful emboss resist pattern.
I adhered a few Joy Shaker die cuts together for dimension topping it off with a die cut from glittered cardstock. I filled the shaker with some of the gorgeous new Sparkling Clear Snowflakes Mix.
Next up is the Sparkle Dot Patterns 1 stamp set. I had so much fun with this set!!!
For the first card I adhered sequins to the rainbow dot image. Oh my heavens:) I stamped the rainbow image in a super light Lemon Chiffon color so that nothing would show through.
I used the “you” from the Thank You Script die and added an embossed sentiment from the Fox Friends stamp set.
For this next card I used Nuvo Jewel drops to the rainbow dot image. This is the most delicious thing I’ve ever seen!!!
GIVEAWAY!!

SSS-Trick or Treat Shadow Box
October 31, 2017Happy Halloween! I’ve been so in love with the Lawn Fawn shadow boxes lately that I wanted to make one featuring these adorable Trick or Treat critters, but the images were too large so I had to get creative and make my own.
I created the shadow box by trimming 2 pieces of Royal Purple cardstock to 3.5″ x 6.75″. Then I scored both of those at 4.5″ & 6.5″. I used one of the Stitched Rectangle dies to create the window opening and the Stitched Slopes & Hills to add some hills inside the shadow box.
For the images I used a combination of the Trick or Treat & Ghostly Greetings stamp sets. I stamped them with Memento ink & colored them with Copics. How fun is this? I think I wanna make a shadow box for everything now:)
Wishing you a safe & happy Halloween! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I also have a winner to announce from my Spellbinders blog hop post.
Congrats Marjorie Dumontier!
Altenew-Halftone Stars
October 30, 2017Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Altenew blog featuring the Halftone Stars stamp set along with the Halftone Stars Nesting die set.
To begin I die cut one of the larger star dies repeatedly all over a panel of white cardstock. For the background I blended Arctic, Carribean Sky, Persian Blue & Sapphire ink onto bristol paper. I also die cut some smaller stars and blended them with Citrus Burst & Honey Drizzle.
I added one final layer of stars using the smallest star die on glittered cardstock. For the sentiment I used the Halftone Stars stamp set and embossed in white onto a strip of black cardstock.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial! Thanks so much for stopping by!
SSS-Kind Flower Card Kit
October 28, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project I created using some of the fun goodies included in the latest November Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.
I just had to create a layered project becasue there are so many beautiful papers in this kit. I started with a cream card base and added a layer using the gorgeous silver embossed paper. Next I stitched a strip of the soft pink pattern paper from the Pebbles paper pack.
Then I used my Silhouette machine to cut a few flowers of green cardstock & vellum using this 3D Flower file by Lori Whitlock. I topped the flowers with one of the beautiful accents stickers included in the kit and then embossed a sentiment from the Kind Flowers stamp set onto slate cardstock.
I finished the card off with some Pretty Pink Posh sequins. I don’t normally create such layered projects like this, but I love how the textures & colors work so well together. You can see many more gorgeous projects featuring the November Card kit in the gallery. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Mama Elephant-On the Hills
October 27, 2017Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the new On the Hills Creative Cuts.
To begin I blended distress inks onto the background using Mermaid Lagoon & Blueprint Sketch.The I die cut two of the clouds into may blended background and popped the panel onto a white card base.
I die cut the houses & trees and blended distress inks onto them as well for color and tucked them in behind the hills.
For the sentiment I used the “hello” word die that is included in the On the Hills set and stacked several together using spray adhesive. I topped it off with one that had been cut from glittered cardstock.
Nothing better than a row of rainbow houses to brighten your day, right? Thanks so much for stopping by!
