Today I have two more cards using some fun products from Neat & Tangled, this is my last post as Guest Designer… I can’t believe how quickly this month has flown by.
My focus today is the Floral Heart stamp set and matching die and the video is a little longer than usual as I filmed both cards, almost in production line style.
Altenew have done it again, today they are not only releasing some fabulous new stamp sets and dies but now they have their very own luxurious embossing powders! We are all hopping along to celebrate and you should have arrived here from AMY’S fabulous blog. I couldn’t stop making cards with this release, so scroll down to see them and the video that I have made showcasing the fab new Layered Plaid Cover Dies as well as to find out how you can WIN!
To created my Plaid background I used Moonrock, Dark Gray and the blue cardstock from the New Day Card Kit, then I added a Modern Cat (coloured like the lilac burmese that we used to have…. and she did manage to sneak a photo into the video today).
and I used the Pure White Embossing Powder for the first time and am totally impressed with the ‘brightness’ of the white, tick!
My final card was heaps of fun and came together very easily. To create the background I stamped a panel with one of the Watercolor Frames.
Two of the flowers from Best Buds were stamped directly onto the card front and the final one coloured with Copics, fussy cut and popped up on the front. One of the best things about this set is that if you want, you can also get the layering set separately if you prefer to add colour with stamp layering.
Now, to the good stuff and onto the Prizes and there are
two ways to win!

A quick card share today as I’ve got heaps happening behind the scenes at the moment… so keep posted. Today it’s time for a clean and simple design using some surprised looking sheep!
Hope you are having a great week, I’ll be back Thursday! Hugs
Today I have a very clean and simple design to share. I used one of the cute Penny Black hedgehogs to sit on top of a sentiment that was discarded from a previous card…. and I didn’t want to put it aside because you already know that I would never use it, so while I’m motivated I’m using it!
It’s Friday and time for my second Guest Design post at Neat & Tangled. I’m seriously having so much fun with these stamps and dies that I couldn’t stop at just one card, so I made two!
This month Altenew is introducing Build-A-Flower: Magnolia. On the 15th of every month a new flower set is released and each set offers a 6×8 stamp set with a coordinating die so you can easily create your projects (it is only available as a set, not as individual products). Isn’t this Magnolia beautiful!
I decided to stamp out the word ‘you’ with the Calligraphy Alpha stamp set, one of the easiest alpha sets I’ve ever used (it’s so so easy to line up the letters, I love it)!
I can’t wait to play with the Magnolia Build-A-Flower set some more, I have heaps of ideas and know that you will also be inspired by the other designs, as well as the chance to WIN at the Altenew Blog!
Other Supplies: Prismacolor Pencils – Warm Grey 20,70% / French Grey 50,70% / Putty Beige / Chartreuse / Limepeel.
Colouring on design paper is one of the funnest ideas for sure, and when I saw these little cuties at Scrapbook Boutique, and the rainbow plaid paper, I just had to play!
Don’t ask me why…. but I thought it would be funny to have the mice pedaling around the card.
You can find all of the supplies linked below or you can head on over to Scrapbook Boutique. And I will give you the heads up, this is going to be a big week for me here, so I will be seeing a lot of you.
Other supplies: Prismacolor pencils – Cream / White / Light Peach / Peach / Canary Yellow / Spanish Orange / Yellowed Orange / Greyed Lavender / Violet / Apple Green / Yellow Chartreuse / Light Aqua / Aquamarine / Pink / French Grey 50% / Cool Grey 50% / Black / Light Umber.
