Altenew April 2021 Inspiration Challenge

Hi crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing a card featuring Altenew's Wild Hibiscus stamp set.
The colors are inspired by the April challenge from Altenew.

I first stamped the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next I colored them with Copic markers.

Then I stamped the splatters from MFT as a background by using
Lavender Field Altenew ink.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from Altenew's Label Love set with Altenew Obsidian Black pigment ink and adhered everything with foam tape to create some dimension.

Rachel Vass Designs - Crocus Love

Hello crafty friends!

Today I am sharing a card featuring the Crocus Love digital stamp from Rachel Vass Designs.

Rachel Vass Designs - Crocus Love


I first used the print and cut function in my Silhouette Studio and colored the flowers with Copic makers.

I printed the sentiment on a piece of cardstock and used a stitched rectangle die to cut it out and matted this.
I did the same with the bigger rectangle but here I added some small purple strokes in the middle. Then I adhered the front panel with foam tape to create some dimension and I also used foam tape to adhere the flowers to the card.
As a finishing touch I added some small gem stones.

Missees By Karin Joan - Birthday Wishes

Hi all!

For this card I wanted to stamp 3 Missees next to each other so I first made a mask by stamping 1 Missee (STAMPKJ15) and cut it out by hand.

I then stamped the Missee in the middle onto a piece of cardstock and added the mask on top of it. Then I stamped the right and the left Missee so the lines of their body are only stamped on the mask.

Then I removed the mask and colored the Missees with Copic markers.
The sentiment is from the same set and is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

Next I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out this front piece.

I adhered a stroke of patterned paper (MPPKJ01) onto the card base and then added the front panel with foam tape to create some dimension.

The rabbits are very cute but I chose the kangaroos because we have some wallabies in our backyard and I love them :-)

I used the print and cut function in my Silhouette Studio and colored the kangaroos with Copic markers.

I also printed the sentiment on a piece of cardstock and used a stitched rectangle die to cut it out.

Missees By Karin Joan - Little girl with great big plans

Hi all!

For this card I started by die cutting the head and body by using the Primarina set (BASICSDCKJ06) and paper from MPPKJ01. I also stamped the eyes, nose and mouth with Versafine Onyx Black.
I also die cut the hair and hair accessory using the same set.
The hair as wel as the clothes are from MPPKJ01.
I assembled this Missee and adhered everything together.

Then I adhered the donut patterned paper from PPKJ03 to the card base and used foam tape to adhere the Missee on top of it.

The sentiment is from a vellum paper from MPPKJ01. I adhered it to a piece of pink cardstock from the same paper pad by adding some glue behind the golden dots. Then I used a yellow paper clip to add it to the card base.

AAA Birthday Challenge #24 - A Shaped Card

Hi everyone!

Another month, another game to play along with. This month we challenge you to create a shaped card, so let's see what you can come up with. Here's my take on this challenge.



I created this dinosaur card for a little boy.

Dinosaur shaped card

I used the dinosaur (Silhouette Design ID 135707) from the Silhouette Store and modified it slightly.
I colored the dinosaur parts with Volcano Lake and Emerald Altenew ink. For the offset of the dinosaur I used
Manatee Lawn Fawn ink. For the eye I used a googly eye as I think this would be a funny touch :-)

For the background of the card I used the Leafy Frame stencil from SSS and blended Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink.

I adhered everyting and stamped the sentiment from SU with Versafine Onyx Black ink.
