Altenew Educators “Alphabet Name Game” Blog Hop and Linky Party + Giveaway



Hello! Today I’m joining in the Alphabet Challenge along with other Altenew Certified Educators! The Challenge was to use the FIRST LETTER of your FIRST NAME and share a card technique with that letter!!

My first name starts with a “K” and let me tell you…there are not many card techniques starting with that letter! But I did come up with a good one to share: KISSING!!

So today I have four cards to share using the KISSING technique.


The idea of this technique is to take a solid stamp and “KISS” it to another stamp to add some design.

The best way for me to share this technique is through a video, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

This is a really fun technique, just search for some solid stamps and stamps with a design you can combine together. I think this would be a really fun technique to try on a large flower, too!

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!

Ghosts that Trick or Treat

Hello! Just popping by to share a Halloween card that I love! These little ghosts are new from Miss Ink Stamps and they are the cutest trick or treaters.

I created a video to show you how to easily put a card like this together, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I just adore these products I’m sharing today. If you’ve been following me, you might notice this stencil is a favorite…I used it before on THIS Alice in Wonderland Card.

I used a light grey and purple ink this time on this stencil, I think those colors are great for Halloween!

Feline Spooky!

Hello, I’m back with another Halloween card this time with new supplies from Miss Ink Stamps. This stamp set is called Feline Spooky, and I combined it with the new Halloween Sentiments stamp set.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I also used the “Square Dance” stencil to add a little interest in the background. I think this stencil looks a little like Gauze…so perfect for a Halloween card!

This is a fun one to color! In my video I share a way to add texture to your copic coloring.

The copic colors I used are:
Oranges: YR18, YR16, YR15, Y35
Black/Grey: N1, N3, N5, N7
Purple: BV17, BV13, BV11
Green: YG25, YG23, YG21
