Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 5 + Giveaway (over $2,000 in Total Prizes)

By on April 9, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello and welcome to Day 5 of the Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop! I am so thrilled to be joining in to congratulate and celebrate Altenew!

Today I have made a project using some of my favorite products (and you KNOW it’s not easy to narrow it down!) I love the dies and embossing folders from Altenew, so I’ve put them together for this card.

Oh, that Dreamy tile embossing folder is so so beautiful!! Here I gently swiped an ink cube (in 2 colors) over the top to get color on the embossed portions. I have a video of how this came together, and I’ve linked it below for you:

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.

Wild Cheetah Card

Hello! Today I have a Cheetah card to share using multiple stencils from Miss Ink Stamps. I love how striking this card turned out and it’s so easy!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I used the mask stencil from Cheetah Portrait stencil to begin…I LOVE that the mask stencil was included. There are so many options you can do with this mask included!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I inked the background first with one of my favorite colors, then I added the Cheetah Spots using the same colors.  After that, I was able to ink on the Cheetah using the layers of the stencil. (see all the details in my video)!

Patterned Background Design with Sprays
By  on February 26, 2022  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a favorite technique to share…using stencils and sprays. I created a short video to show the technique, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













This is a favorite technique…and I challenge you to try this with at least 2 different stencils and 2 different colors for one panel! It’s surprising and fun to see what you get in the end.

SUNSHINE-candy-box-with-card-2
Chocolate Truffles
By  on February 19, 2022  in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a delicious post to share with Chocolate Truffles on a card! I also am creating a Chocolate Heart Box (that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day), but the chocolate truffles can be used all year.





Watch my video below or in HD on YouTube:













I’ve been so excited to share this, but had to wait for these to come back in stock again (they have sold out twice!) So, while this is after Valentine’s Day…the truffles can still be used at any time of year!





For the chocolate truffles, I die cut them with some white pearlized paper and colored them with Copic markers in brown, pink and grey. I built them up with foam squares to get a 3-D look.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I am completely in love with these boxes and can’t wait to make more for next year! I will use different patterned paper to get different looks. There is also an accent die that you can cut out a heart shape on the top of the box and replace it with acetate to make a see-through box lid!

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.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I just love those little truffles with their liners.
