Heffy Doodle: You Are Amazing!

Hello crafty friends, today, I am sharing a cute card using some no-line coloring on Heffy Doodle blog.

I am using Big Bug Hugs, Hootiful and Gnome Matter What stamps along with the coordinating dies. I also used the Grassy Lass border die to create a mask.

I love making one layer cards as they are easy to mail. I started by die-cutting a sheet of acetate using grassy lass die and used this as my mask to sponge the grass. I then sponged some clouds.

Stamp all the images using any light color of ink and color them using copic markers. I then die-cut the images and created a scene onto the card.

Stamp the sentiment. I really love this cute simple font. If you place an order to the Heffy Doodle store, you get this stamp set for free. YAY!!!

Let's start the fun! I have 3 cards for you today!

For my first card I used the Illusion Spiral Stencil along with the Frosted Garden Stamp, Frosted Garden die and Signature Word Die. I sponged the panel using distress oxide inks and then embossed it using the stencil. I then sponged same ink colors through the stencil. Remove the stencil and flick some white paint mix. Stamp the image using versamark ink and emboss using WOW! Clear sparkle powder, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Die-cut the word thanks and emboss it using the WOW! Black magic embossing powder. It's such a pretty effect.

assemble everything together. Here is a close-up to see the sparkle and embossing effect using the stencil.

For my next card, I used the Deco Wonder Stencil and Mega Love Die. I simply sponged the panel using various distress inks. Apply Nuvo glimmer paste towards the top of the panel. Let this panel dry. I then die-cut the word "love". Make sure to keep all the negative pieces too. I stacked the word LOVE using 3 layers of die-cuts. Adhere the mat layer to the cardbase. Adhere the word to this layer, it fits like a puzzle. Adhere the negative pieces to the panel.

Here is a close-up to see all the subtle sparkle and the inlaid word :) Looks beautiful in real life.

For my last card I used the Floral Garden stencil and the Scripts Word Die along with the Dotted Swirls Debossing plate. I sponged the florals using pink and yellow ink. Now the special part of this stencil is that turn it 180° and then sponge the leaves. I then used copic markers and FaberCastell Polychromos to add some dimension to the panel. I then used the dotted swirl plate and debossed the panel. This gives a subtle texture to it. Die cut the word "HUGS" using white and black cardstock. Color using Copic markers to get the ombré effect. Apply shimmer pen to it and layer it with black die-cut slightly offset to get a shadow effect.

Here is a close-up to see all the texture.

Altenew May 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil/Ink/Enamel Pin Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello and welcome everyone! I am super delighted and honored to be a part of the May 2019 Stamp/Die/Ink/Enamel Pin Release Blog Hop over at Altenew.

You are going to love the various products with variety of styles. Check out all the May Release products HERE

You should have come here from the talented Sandra Dietrich's blog if not start at the Altenew Blog so you won't miss anything!

Here is the full release view, simply click on it to check on Altenew shop.

Now, this post is going to be a long one as I have 5 different projects for you so grab your favorite drink, sit/ relax and enjoy :)

For the first card I used Basic Blooms, A Walk in the Wood stamps, Dotted Swirl Debossing cover die from the new release along with the Super Script stamp and die. I also used Altenew Pinkalicious, Pink Pearl, Fresh Lemon, Cotton Candy, and Pure Graphite crisp inks.

Other than this I used WOW! Gold Embossing powder, Hero Arts White Pigment ink.

I stamped the A Walk in the Wood background using white pigment ink to a white cardstock. I then stamped the Basic Blooms florals using various inks. This gives a subtle texture. The to add more texture I used the Dotted Swirl Debossing cover die for that extra effect.

I stamped and embossed the word celebrate and die-cut it using the coordinating die. To finish, I added some sequins from Studio Katia.

For my 2nd. card I used the Everlasting Happiness stamp, Dotted Swirl Debossing cover die from the new release along with the Signature Word Dies.

I used the Dotted Swirl Debossing cover die onto a white panel and then sponged Altenew Pinkalicious, Aqualicious and Fresh Lemon crisp inks, I then stamped and embossed the floral cluster using white embossing powder onto vellum. Colored using Copic markers and adhered to the panel.

I die-cut the word Thanks using black and white cardstock and stacked them together. To finish, I added some Gems from Studio Katia.

For the 3rd. card I simply wanted to highlight the Everlasting Happiness stamp.

I stamped the image onto vellum and colored it using Faber Castell Polychromos and Caran D'Ache Luminance pencil colors. I stamped and embossed the sentiment using WOW! Gold embossing powder.

To finish, I added some Confetti by Studio Katia.

For the 4th. card, I used the GORGEOUS new layering stamp Delicate Clusters and the Delicate Clusters die along with the pretty patterned paper from Celestial Paper Pack

I didn't use the stems from this Delicate Clusters florals, I simply used the floral heads, stamped them in rainbow colors using the Shades of Purple, Cherry Blossom, Sweet Dreams, Green Meadows, Pocketful Of Sunshine and Warm & Cozy Crisp inks. These inks are made perfectly for your layering requirements. No need to think and match the colors :)

I wanted to turn it into a shaker card, so I stamped the sentiment onto velum and created a window in the pretty Celestial patterned paper, which looks like a galaxy. I used some stars and confetti by Studio Katia for the shaker element.

For my last project, I made a art journal page using the Basic Blooms Mask Stencil (they are awesome), Ombré Alpha, A Walk in the Wood stamp. The Ombré Alpha is perfect size to create the words and sentiment you want and I love the effect. Basic Blooms Mask Stencil made it so easy to apply the texture paste through the stencil and at the same time, I could mask the flower to overlap them.

I recently bought this spiral book as it allows me to make single spreads which I love making. I write Quotes or sentiments depending on my mood.
