Video : Altenew Focus Post – Extra Special!

Today at the Altenew Blog I have a focus post featuring the new Extra Special stamp set. That means three different cards using this set as well as a video which you can find linked below.

For my first card I created a stamped background with the main flower image from the Extra Special stamp set and then for the sentiment I couldn’t help myself but I just had to get out the Bold Alphabet dies (sorry Wida) and I used one of the new cardstocks, this one is the Deep Iris and isn’t it pretty!

and did you see that I had the Ink Sprays out again….. I used Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields and Frayed Leaf to create my background.

For my second card I also used the Halftone Stencil and the Artist Markers to create a more classic ‘Mother’s Day’ design.

My final card (and video) was probably the easiest and funnest, I created a subtle background for the Thank You die which I made all shimmery….  but you can watch the whole process on video if you scroll just a little further on.

Video : Lawn Fawn Fairy Friends with Scrapbook Boutique!

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.

Video : I need more masculine cards!

Why is it that as my girly stash of cards grows every day and the masculine one dwindles…    couldn’t we just give the girly cards to the guys, we all know they hardly even look at them (except for our other halves of course who know just how much money – maybe…  we spend and wouldn’t dare not to have just one ooh or aaah when they open their card) lol!

Today I made one for the stash, it’s for Scrapbook Boutique and using some fab Mama Elephant products, I filmed as I created so that you could watch the process.

You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

Not sure that I’ve ever stamped black flowers before, but I am kinda liking the boldness and I decided to try embossing the Delicata gold on the stencil stripes and it seemed to work a treat!

Masculine runway…..

This gorgeous challenge at Runway screamed elegance to me, so go figure why I decided to make a masculine birthday design, might have something to do with the fact that it’s my hubby’s birthday today and also that I came across this awesome Ferro Effect Paste (that I had ‘ahem’ purchased but not used yet), doesn’t it look all metallic and glittery.
