Altenew Educators “Floral with Geometric Elements” Blog Hop and Linky Party + Giveaway

Hello! I’m delighted to be a part of the Altenew Educators Floral with Geometric Elements Blog Hop today. There’s also a giveaway and a Linky Party for another chance to win by participating!

If you have arrived here from Nanette Madero’s blog, you’re on the right track! I have a full list of the blog hop links listed near the end of this post.

Today I’m sharing TWO cards. I started out with the stamped geometric background (shown below) and had my poinsettia already die cut, but this background really needed some red tulips for that Christmas vibe I was going for.

This card uses a favorite of mine: Spheres and Spirals stamp set. I stamped these in black and added some glitter embossing powder for extra sparkle. I used Evergreen Bough to ink up the background and then colored in a few spots of the spirals with various green shades of marker. Then I added some red tulips from another favorite of mine: Craft A Flower Tulip!

Then I just HAD to use my poinsettia for another card, so I made a different background using another beautiful stamp set.

That poinsettia is die cut with a very fun technique (adding versamark ink) so I could silver heat emboss those veins in the petals! For a video on how to do this, watch below or in HD on YouTube:

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!
