Hi Crafty Friends and Happy Friday! I've got a post today that's jammed packed full of crafty goodness! I'm honored to be invited as a stop on the Altenew "Blossoming Creativity" Blog Hop, so let's get started!
My projects today feature sets from the Just Imagine Stamps, Dies, Embossing Folders and More Release found HERE.
Card #1 was created using the Cherry Blossoms Bunch Complete Bundle. This bundle includes the stamp set, coordinating dies and 2 piece stencils for easy coloring. I've used shades of pinks for the florals and did a ghost stamp on the background panel using Altenew Silver Lake Crisp Die Ink.
Card #2 features the Bloom With Grace complete Bundle. I've colored the image with Alcohol Markers, embossed a panel using the Altenew Rows of Squares 3-D embossing folder (after embossing, I cut the panel at an angle so the squares would appear as diamonds) then accented with a strip of gold mirror card and black twine.
Card #3 showcases the new Triangle Madness Die Set and Versatile Greetings Hot Foil Plate Set with matching Dies. I love Geometric shapes for masculine cards and this card was a quick and fun make using colored card scraps.
Card #4 appears difficult to create but it's as simple as blending a panel and cutting the cover die. I've been experiementing with non-traditional holiday colors this year and I loved how these colors complimented each other. I've used the Geo Tiles Cover Die, Holiday Greetings Hot Foil Plate Set and Coordinating Die Set. Wow, I love Hot Foiling and Splattering!
Card #5 features a more traditional holiday color palette. It was a quick make and the candy cane syled background was so easy to create using the Altenew Stripe Builder Stencil. I've also used the Essentials Alpha Complete Project Bundle, which consists of the foiling plates, dies and stencil set.
