Today I have a clean and simple card to share for Scrapbook Boutique. I wanted to play with my new embossing pastes from Ranger, so created my own background and then added some fun images from Lawn Fawn Fairy Friends. I decided to film as I created so that you could watch the process.

Hiya, today I’m here with a By Request video for Scrapbook Boutique. I made this card HERE and was asked if I could show how I created it and so I’ve made the ‘same but different’ , it’s much easier to show you how on a video.

If you don’t know what CASE means it’s simply ‘Copy and Share Everything’. You guys totally inspire me and to be able to make a card inspired by something that you created, it’s soooo much fun and hopefully it will inspire you too! We are all friends here, and there is definitely no need to reinvent the wheel, especially when someone has already perfected it!
So without further ado, this card is inspired by my incredible crafty friend Linda. This is the woman who said to me, ‘Yes, start a blog’, ‘Yes, submit your cards to the magazine’… and she’d never even seen one of my cards lol. Love you Linda! You can have a closer look at her card at her blog A Happy Scramper.
Her card is so amazing that I couldn’t resist the urge to CASE it, but it all went downhill from there… Did you ever have one of those days where it all kinda went wrong, I managed to finish the card and you get to see it all.

Hiya, today I have a focus post for Altenew and that means you get to see three cards all created using the same stamp set. It’s another fab layering flower set which we know Altenew does so well, this one is called Painted Rose.
When I saw this set I just knew that I had to do at least one ‘red rose’ card, and the crisp inks didn’t let me down. Don’t you just love the subtle recycled look of the Spicy Yogurt cardstock, I already know that I am going to have to ‘stock up’ on this one.
And for an easy to mass produce (especially if you have one of them MISTIs) here’s a quick and easy ‘Save the Date’ card, which could be stamped in any colour or in gold… silver…. well, you know where I’m going with this.
And did I say just one ‘red’ rose card, well, I did make it two. This version is a little different to the first with a watercoloury painted rose look.
So why not head over to the Altenew blog for some more deets on these cards as well as lots more inspiration from the rest of the team with this fabulous new release. Hugs,

I’m so excited to be taking part in Altenew’s 2016 May release and blog hop, and if you arrived here from Sveta Fotinia’s blog then you are exactly where you need to be. Today we will be releasing 16 stamp sets and 10 dies and to be honest I just couldn’t stop making cards with this release, it’s so wonderful! So this is a very photo heavy post, and the fun deets are there if you scroll on down, have FUN!
Here is my first card for today,
Time for a CAS tone on tone background using those fabulous gray inks and the pale gray cardstock from Altenew. I used the new Dahlia Blossoms layering stamp set and stamped out my own sentiment with the Calligraphy Alpha (I wish my handwriting was this beautiful).
I decided to film as I created this card to show just how easy it came together.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pIbeFPQGM4]
And for my second and fave card for this release I have used new flower set called Spring Daisy, but instead of being a daisy I have coloured them as gerberas on my design. Yes, they are my favourite flowers and I think it’s because they are so bright and fun. I embossed the sentiment and it’s from the Dahlia Blossoms set, and added some pale gray and woodgrain cardstock for a bit of punch.
And for my final set of cards I used the Best Dad and Best Mom sets which are both very special sets because if you buy them before June 19th Altenew will donate 20% of the profits to an internation charity organization, the Zakat Foundation, to support seniors in need. This is another great way for you to show the support an the love of our crafting communtiy! I also used some sentiments from the Beautiful Quotes stamp set, which I thought worked perfectly with these wonderful images.

A quick publication share today (I thought that I had already posted this card but can’t find it… or the card post I pre wrote, so I am not sure what is going on)…. Anyhoo, my card today is all about No Fuss Copic colouring, so I didn’t blend any of the colours and decided to leave just a small highlight by not colouring all the way to the edges. I made this for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine. BTW the grey’s do look similar IRL, they just didn’t photograph so well, or was it, I didn’t photograph them so well… Oh, well.
I’ll be back on Wednesday with a video for Altenew, I look forward to seeing you then.

We all approach stamping differently and sometimes you just gotta work out what is easiest for you. And that’s why I thought I would share with you today how I stamp out the layered flowers from Altenew’s Peony Bouquet set. These flowers are so versatile, with the outline, without the outline, with the layers or without the layers…. I think you get what I’m trying to say.
Today I have two videos to share, the first shows how I stamp out and die cut the images and you can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

And my second video is all about putting the card together and you can see that video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
