Hello my crafty friends! I hope all is well and everyone is having a wonderful week. Today I wanted to share with you about how I made this handmade card using Altenew Outline Stamp Set called Treasured Memories, Die Set and Botanical 3D Embossing folder.

I love the way this card looks. I decided not to put any sentiments  on the front of this card. Because sometimes I think it is a card I can turn into a Happy Birthday or Missing You or a Thank You card. So I wait until I need a card for a special occasion. Then I’ll created some sentiments and put them to the side.
I took the Lattice Fence die that I purchased from Amazon and 110 cloud light blue cards stock and cut it out using my Sizzix machine.
The colors I used to paint the flowers are by Karin Brush Marker Pro : Gold 283, Apple 210, Turquoise 654, Cool Aqua 204 and Cerise 375.
First I took VersaMark embossing ink, Altenew Treasured Memories stamp set and stamp on water color card stock. Then I used white embossing power and cover it. Then heat set the embossing powder. Doing this process helps keeps the water colors inside the flowers while painting them.
The background I did I used 110 white card stock and Altenew Botanical 3D embossing Folder. The picture on the right is Altenew Treasured Memories outline Stamp Set.
I also thought that the flowers were too big for the A2 card, so I cut where I thought it would look good, then replace the flowers and leaves where I wanted them on my card.

Thank you for checking out my website. If you have this stamp set I hope you try these techniques with your cards. Please let me know what you think and if you like my card. Have a wonderful weekend.

Hello my crafty friends! A coupe weekend ago I meet with some of my crafty friends for 5 hours. I started these two cards there and finished them all at home. I really like the way the cards came out. I hope you guys will like them too.

This Stamp set is by Altenew called Rustic Rose, plus I used Altenew Rustic Rose die set to cut them out. So there was no fussy cutting for me which is a plus. I don’t mind fussy cutting but if there’s a die set I’m a happy crafter.
I really love this set by Altenew. Roses are my favorite flowers because my maid name is Rosas.
First I took some Strathmore water color card stock, some VersaMark ink and stamp the roses on card stock. And then took white embossing powder and heat set it.
I used Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers called Tropical Fiesta Set. Colors are Crimson, Lime, Sun Kissed and Fresh Lemon.
Background was done with Altenew Flourishing Garden and Basic Plaid 3D Embossing Folders. Card stock is Recollections Color Splash. Other card stock I used was !10 White and Pink Cloud.
Lattice Fence I purchase from Amazon.

I hope you guys will try making these cards for someone special. Thank you for checking out my website. Please let me know if you like these cards or leave a comment. Have a great day everyone.

Tulips & Friends

Hello my crafty friends! This morning I was watering my Tulips on my front porch. They look beautiful right now. After I was done watering everything around our home.

I went into my craft room, started to create a card using Altenew Build-A-Garden: Tulips & Friends layering stamp set, stencils and die set.

Plus I combined Altenew Tulip 3D embossing folder and their tulip simple coloring stencil set too. I will explain what I did and how I made this beautiful cards.

Handmade Tulips card!
I stamp the tulips with Altenew black pigment ink on 110 white card stock. Then took the the stencils and color with Altenew ink: lavender fields, deep Irish, parrot, olive, pink diamond, maple yellow. The colors combinations are beautiful. Took the Tulip die and cut them using my Sizzix machine. 
Frames I used is the one I got at Amazon lattice fences and wrapped stitch rectangles die from memory box.
I needed the background to look like it was full underneath the lattice fence. So I took the other Altenew Tulip embossing folder and stencils set that goes with this one, used 110 white card stock and put it through my machine. I colored the tulips using the same inks and started blending colors together.
I cut out each tulip that I color again and put it in my embossing folder each one at a time. I wanted to give dimension for the front of my card.
Here are all the pieces I need to make my card. Then I started just glueing everything together.
Here’s a picture of everything I used to make this pretty card.

Hope you like my card, if you do please leave me a like and comment. Also I hope you try making this card with whatever you have in your stash. Thank you for checking out my website. Have a great evening.

Hello my crafty friends! Today I want to share my thoughts about how I made these two beautiful cards. I just used Altenew Stencil Art: Charming Delight and their Charming Delight die set. I will list other products used to create theses cards. I made these two for my mail lady because she is always makes sure my Happy Mail is delivered with care.

Handmade Thanks Card
I used Simon Says Stamp Pawsitivelty Saturated ink to color the flowers: Melon, Cantalope, Sherbert, Latte, Bubblegum, Sweet Taffy, Sprout, Fairway and Field. Took Altenew Charming Delight stencil and used 110 white card stock with all these colors.
Then die cut the flowers with Altenew Chaming Delight Die Set.
The Lattice frame cut it out on 110 white card stock and pink. Took Tim Holtz 3D embossing folder called Lumber and run it through my other frame. Which gave it a look like a Lattice Fence. My background underneath the fence is Altenew Treasured Memories 3D folder.
Put my cards together and used SSS Thanks die and other frame I used is Memory Box die wrapped stitch rectangles.

This card was pretty simple to make and I really like the way it came out. I hope you guys try all these techniques with whatever you have in your stash and share with me.

Thank you for checking out my website. Have a wonderful day!
