Hello! Are you ready for the next STAMPtember® exclusive? It’s adorably awesome!!! The next collaboration set is designed by Mama Elephant for Simon Says Stamp called Rain or Shine and I’m in love.
I am giddy over how fantastic the Mama Elephant images work with the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop-up die. It was like they were meant to be together!
I also used the hills dies from the Shadow Box Card die to add some grassy hills for my critters to stand on. The box is made out of Lemon Chiffon cardstock and then hill out of Green Apple.
I stamped the images with Memento and colored them with Copics. I blended Picked Raspberry & Mustard Seed onto distress cardstock for the accent panels and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx black ink.

Altenew-Hello
September 12, 2017Hi there! Today I have a project that was up on the Altenew blog yesterday and I wanted to share it here as well. It’s featuring a few of the new products from Altenew’s August release.
I started by embossing the geometric image from Building Blocks repeatedly for the background using clear embossing powder. Then I blended Mountain Mist for the color. I also flicked some Volcano Lake ink on with a wet brush.
I embossed the floral image from the Charmed stamp set with white embossing powder and blended in color using several Altenew inks. I used Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Citrus Burst & Bamboo.
For the sentiment I used a die from the Envelope Liner die set on gorgeous glittered cardstock. I also added a few clear droplets to finish it off.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.
I’ll be back with another STAMPtember® exclusive tomorrow! It’s an adorably good one, too! Thanks so much for stopping by!
STAMPtember® Tim Holtz

Hi there! I’m back with another fantastic STAMPtember® exclusive stamp & stencil set designed by Tim Holtz.
I’ve created two cards using the diamond border stamp to create embossed backgrounds. I embossed one in clear and blended distress inks for a colorful, festive look and I embossed the other in gold onto kraft cardstock for a classic, elegant look.
