Quick thank you cards

Don't you just love it when you partner says can I grab a dozen thank you cards and you only have 3 in your stash. I managed to whip up half a dozen yesterday and if I realised I could do two as quick as one yesterday I would have created 2 more.

I grabbed out the Build-A-Garden: Pristine Peonies (ALT) and stenciled in different colour palates. This is an interesting set as it contains 2 big bloom stamps, each bloom has 3 stencils. I chose to use the stamp that was a double flower but both  flower stamps are stunning.

Each stencil has elements for petals and leaves on it. I found it really easy to use apart from stencil 3 for one of the leaf clusters but this maybe due to the fact I had decided I was stamping off the panel and I may have got a bit confused with what was the place I was looking for. This was only one element I couldn't really work out and in all honesty I don't think it really matters.

All the images have been stamped and blended with Pinkfresh Studio inks. The base colour is Rocky Slope and I thought about restamping with my Versafine Nocturne ink once I blended but decided I actually liked it with the grey outline and it made the black thank you pop more. 

In case you didn't know Versafine ink is very slow drying and I would have had to wait to blend with the stencils BUT by stamping in a grey or brown ink you can work out where to place your stencil, blend and then just put the panel back in the Misti or your stamp positioning tool and restamp with black afterwards.

The first card was done with Grey inks: Misty Coast, Rocky Slope and Metropolis. Green inks Fresh Pear and Grassy Knoll. Yellow inks: Sweet Mustard and Marigold. I used my Gina K Master layouts to do the wee black mat but didn't really line it up perfectly so decided that was an extra step that we weren't doing again!

Second card Peachy inks: Sunkissed, Mimosa, Mango Sorbet. Yellow inks as above. Green inks also added Olive to the blend as well.

Pink inks: Ballet Slipper, Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum. Yellow and green inks same.

Aqua inks: Waterfall, Turquoise, Paradise. Yellow inks: Sunshine and Marigold: Green inks: Mint, Meadow and Emerald City.

It was probably a couple of hours to create them all but I feel I'm on my way to create him a dozen by the end of this coming week easily!

I have a real crafty weekend coming up with my friend Sarah so should have something to blog and share real soon. Hope yours is as equally as fun!

Anything CAS with a twist of Spring

This is the new challenge at AAA Cards. Thinking about Spring I think of lambs, spring bulbs, green grass, green leaves and flower blossoms. So pretty easy to make a CAS card.

I started off looking through my bin of small Altenew stamps when I spied this mini delight set called Apple Blossoms. Even though it's a mini set it has multiple layers of stamps (4 for the petals, 2 for the centre/stamens and 2 for the leaves). I've used all Altenew inks apart from the stamens where I used a PFS ink called Sweet Mustard (A6). Altenew inks: Blush (A1 and A2), Rouge (A3), Crimson (A4), Buttercream (A5), Frayed Leaf (B1) and Forest Glades (B2). The wee set comes with 3 dies one for the flower, one for the leaves plus the mini care die. I always look forward to seeing what the Mini delight set is in each Altenew release as (a) they work perfectly with CAS cards and most importantly (b) I can still afford to buy them!

Well I'll start reminiscing about Spring now, we are still in the heat of Summer and it's being very hot, dry and at the same time humid but I can tell at night that Autumn is coming down under.

Hope you can play along with us, as always you have 2 weeks to play along and if you don't like the optional twist of Spring or Spring colours; "anything CAS goes too".

AAA Colourful's latest colourboard

I'm liking the Halloween vibes of the latest colour board at AAA Colourful so I thought I'd play with my favourite moon stamp and do some ink blending to make a wee scene. It also gives me the chance to play along with Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge to go spooky and/or add some purple and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to go Halloween/spooky.

I masked my moon after stamping with the 3 inks (I stamped off the Paper Bag ink once as it was too deep a brown stamped directly), masked and then added the following Distress oxides; Dusty Concord, Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion and Black Soot. I also added some white pigment ink directly around the mask. I used my darkest green oxide I own to go behind my die-cut to ground my trick and  treaters. I now wish I had added some Black Soot to it too for the colour challenge to tone down the green .

Supply List:

Stamps: To the Moon (ALT)

Paper: Basic Black (SU!), Pumpkin Pie (SU!), Mango Melody (SU!), Grape Soda (C9), Buttercup (C9), Distress Heavy (RNG), black glitter (CTMH)

Ink: Buttercream (ALT), Warm Sunshine (ALT), Paper Bag (ALT), Unicorn white pigment (HA)
Distress Oxides (RNG): Dusty Concord, Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion, Black Soot, Rustic Wilderness

Dies: Halloween silhouettes (Sizzix), Mini Alphabet (SU!)

Other: Masking Magic (GKD), foam blending domes, white Gelli Roll pen, black gel pen, white paint (SP), Frost shimmer spray (imaginecrafts)

Challenges: AAAC#9, SSS Monday challenge, SSS Wednesday challenge

Seize the Birthday: adding stripes

Hi everyone this is my 3rd Guest Designer card for Seize the Birthday and the optional topper is stripes this time, but as always you can just enter a birthday card to play along.

 

I normally love adding stripes using a stencil but thought I would try something different and use my Pinstripe background stamp by Altenew. One of the cool things about Altenew is that all stamps come with an idea booklet with multiple examples. I've played with one of the ideas for my card and used some left over flowers etc. from a Virtual mixed media event I took part in awhile ago with Hero Arts using their Beautiful Day set, so this was a very easy card to create and packs a bit of WOW. The sentiment comes from Pinkfresh's Simply Sentiments. I've also added some black splats using Liquorice IZINK Dye Spray by Seth Apter.

Well I hope I have inspired you to go "stripey" with your birthday cards this week.

Challenging colour combo

Gosh the colour combo is a challenging one this week at Just Add Ink and I'm looking forward to seeing what the fabulous design team and also what YOU create with this combo. Even though it's a challenging combo I learn so much by trying to have a go and also seeing what others create, so don't be shy just start stamping or colouring or blending and join in creating something.

I have the 4 card stocks listed above but not all the inkpads so I've used the following inks: Crushed Curry (SU!), Candy Corn (TE), Cherry Pop (TE) and Peacock (C9) and a fun modern, uplifting stamp set A Fresh Start (ALT). Like most Altenew stamp sets they have a wee booklet with card ideas and I modified one of their ideas to stamp my fun panel out. I then used my Master Layouts 2 dies (GKD) to mat it all up with some Pumpkin Pie card (SU!). I've also die cut out extra sentiment dies and the hearts to provide a tad more dimension. The sentiment has also been clear embossed so it appears darker to make it stand out more.

I look forward to seeing everyone's creativity in the gallery. Thanks for popping in.

Bold Bouquet Revisit

AAA Colourful have a really vibrant colour board this month which is stunning and I've revisited a class from Altenew which was part of SCT's March 23 event to play along with them. 

At the time of the class the die for cutting part of the embossed image hadn't been released but when I heard they had released it, I think myself and the 3000 other attendees went hallelujah as it sold out real fast! For this class we added ink to the embossing folder and we were using coloured card stock. In class I used red onto pink card stock. This time I took a strong red ink onto a strong orange card stock and let the magic happen.

I also think adding the die-cut flower back is a real pop and makes the card shine. My first go I just ink blended my die-cut with a small blending brush and it was pretty but I felt it wasn't quite right, so reread the class instructions and the light cream ink was swiped over the raised areas of the flower and then the die-cut flower placed back in and the ink looks like its flowed out and definitely is smoother. 

I ended up mounting the panel on some natural white as I had a card base made in my stash and I liked that it wasn't a stark white. I think the rest is pretty obvious, this technique works for all sorts of embossing folders. I'm really happy how the red and orange worked together for this technique. If you'd like to see the original card that I created in class you can click HERE to see them.

I'm also going to enter into Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge as this weeks challenge is beautiful flowers with Altenew, plus AAA Birthday is looking for Fabulous Flowers this month too.

Supply List:
Stamps: Easy Expressions: Birthday (The Ton Stamps) - sentiment and in my case of ready made sentiments

Ink: Berrylicious (PFS), Buttercream (ALT)

Paper: Pumpkin Pie (SU!), Neenah Natural White and Solar White
Other: Bold Bouquet EF and Flower die (ALT), Aura Opalescent sequins (SP)
Challenge: AAAC#6, SSSW challenge, AAAB#63

There's still 2 weeks to play along with the fab colourboard at AAA Colourful and it is rather cool with the reds, yellows and oranges. These colours pushed me a wee bit outside my comfort zone but I do love how vibrant my card is and the bonus is I have an "adult" birthday card to give away.

Thanks for popping in.

I was a bit stumped with this colour combo

I have to admit the latest colour combo challenge at Just Add Ink had me a bit stumped: Coastal Cabana, Starry Sky and Berry Burst - these are all Stampin' Up! colours and I have in my stash the first two. I thought Dragonfruit (C9) looked pretty close to Berry Burst so that's what I used instead. Often when I stumped I will just watercolour something up using the reinkers and as I had recently received a hydrangea stamp I thought that would be a great flower to colour as hydrangeas often have a real range of shades.

I also wanted to play along with the latest Tic Tac Toe challenge using the first column (flowers, embossing, gems). I have dry embossed with an embossing folder plus white embossed the sentiment and added lots of gems.

Of course the flower I coloured doesn't have a die so I ended up fussy cutting it out and as it was watercoloured I used my 100 Copic black marker to try and blacken the edges and tidy the cut edges up a bit, this worked fine apart from where the marker went for a skid on the petal!!

I've also acquired from the SU! retirement sale the Dots & Spots coverplate die, I was so happy they reduced it finally to a "real price" as it retired. I wasn't prepared to pay $72 (kiwi dollars I'm talking about) for a coverplate die no matter how cute it is, when most companies charge half that price and I added a really old SU! embossing folder for some more dots (Perfect Polka Dots).

Supply List:

Stamps: Paint-A-Flower: Hydrangea (ALT)

Ink/re-inkers: Versafine Clair Nocturne, Versamark, Coastal Cabana (SU!), Starry Sky (SU!), Dragonfruit (C9)

Paper: Coastal Cabana (SU!), Starry Sky (SU!), Dragonfruit (C9), Neenah solar white #110lb, Watercolour (Fabriana Artistico cold pressed)

Other: Dots and Spots die (SU!), Perfect Polka Dots EF (SU!), white EP, no. 4 round paintbrush, Magic Potion Ombre glitter drops (PFS), 2mm foam squares (SP), Copic 100 black marker

Challenges: JAI #699, TTTC #246

I'm really happy how my card turned out - I don't make enough flower cards, so it's nice to tuck one away in my stash. Also, again those colour combos that stump me always look fab when KReated too, Thanks for popping in.

EDITED: 2/5/24: Really happy to be chosen as the JAI Winner and big thanks to them for pushing me outside my comfort zone. This was the kind comments from their DT:

Striking combination of dotted background and

beautifully soft hydrangeas

Beautiful hydrangeas are a lovely way to use

the challenge colours in Karen's fun design

Such a pretty use of the challenge colours.

AAA Card Challenges 261: anything CAS goes

I hope you can see there is a pattern this year at AAA Cards the odd-numbered challenges are anything CAS with an option, the even-numbered challenges are a sketch challenge.

So this week AAA Card's Challenge optional twist is Spring, which is funny as we are heading into Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.

I'm playing with a new stamp set to me from Altenew called Simple Flowers Add-on. It's interesting what smaller sets Altenew puts out apart from the affordable price they often also have matching dies. I've gone real CAS on this and stamped directly to an A2 card base using a block. I've actually CASE-d Altenew's sample for the stamp set as that is what made me buy the set in the first place. 

I was happy with the stamping and design but would you believe it there must have been a piece of something on the edge of the darkest flower (where the bee is). I thought no worries I'll re-stamp it again but the second time I grabbed the lightest ink again for the misbehaving flower, so decided I would fix the first card if I could before making a third card. I tried adding white gel pen on top which didn't really remove the smudge so to cover it up I ended up using these bought and not used for a long time Bumblebee trinkets from SU!

Inks above are all Pinkfresh Studio: Sunkissed, Mango Sorbet, Fruit Punch; Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll and Misty Coast. I finished off with a sentiment from Label Love (ALT).

This is what the repeat card looked like, I added a bumblebee even though not needed to use another one up out of the stash.

I definitely prefer the first card colour combo but a really effective set to make some quick cards. I like the modern look of the imagery too and the extra dots/spots. I hope you can make sometime to play along with AAA Cards as Spring colours are the bestest but anything CAS goes too!

I also thinks my card fits perfectly with Addicted to CAS's latest challenge "Bloom" so will play along with their challenge too.

Thanks for popping in.

AAA Cards Challenge 260: Sketch Challenge

The challenge at AAA Cards turned out to be a real easy one for me this week as I had the perfect set to just do the sketch "as is". I've used  a few of my oldest Altenew stamp sets; Painted Butterflies and Label Love. I'll also pop my card up in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge with "Anything Goes".

The only tricky thing was getting 5 butterflies along an edge, so I made a bigger card (7" x 5") to squeeze them all in). 

I was stamping on a 6-3/4" x 4-3/4" mat when I decided I wanted to add some washi, at this stage the balance looked wrong to me, I was worried I had too much white space. I found an old striped black and white washi in my stash which I feel works perfectly. As I ended up "placing" the mat on the RHS directly I ended up cutting  off 1/4" off the top of the card to balance it all up and my final card's dimension is 6-3/4" x 5".

Pinkfresh Studio inks used for my colour combos (top > bottom; lightest > darkest):

• Cherry Blossom/Peony
• Sunkissed/Mimosa
• Limoncello/Bay Leaf
• Waterfall/Paradise
• Soft Lilac/Lavender

And the sketch which was my inspiration:

Just a reminder what CAS means to AAA Cards, we maybe the most restrictive of all the CAS Challenges but it also means the card is relatively easy to create. Now the trick is to make your images pop, and I hope I have done that today.

As always you have 2 weeks to rise to the challenge and I hope you can join us and please do check out the other fab designs on display at the AAA Cards blog. Thanks for popping in.

Staring into the night sky

I was very excited to see that Sue from Addicted to CAS's design team has stepped up whilst Kylie takes a break and ensured that one of my favourite challenge sites is "business as usual". So I had to join in with their first challenge for 2024 but I've been stewing over in my head lots of different ideas on how to do a SKY Clean and Simple. I've been making a lot of cutie cards lately so I just didn't want to do a circle and use my cloud stencil to make some blue or pink clouds inside it and have a cute animal inserted somewhere.

Now one of the coolest things about being on the DT for AAA Cards is I get to check out more blogs and one of the lovely blogs I visited today was sharing a fab card for a new challenge blog to me called Power of Positivity, I'm sure we all agree we need more of that in our lives so I will enter my card into their challenge as well, as I feel like my sentiment is positively uplifting.

Anyhow I settled on a rectangle instead of a circle and then ink blended a night sky with my distress oxides and then added a wee critter from my Lavinia stamps staring at the moon. I'm really happy with my night sky, moon but wished I'd stamped Pipin using my Misti, he stamped beautifully as a practice run on white scraps but I ended up stamping him 3 times and I got it pretty close but interestingly Lavinia stamps are not really clear photopolymer they're quite hazy. So I learnt my lesson and stamped the tree branch using my MISTI and stamped it 2x. 

I masked the moon with some masking magic when creating the scene but added some scattered straw around the mask after adding just above the grass. When I finished creating the night sky I removed the masking magic and used the base for the moon by stamping it off twice and then the 3rd impression to add a hint of colour (Antique Linen), I then stamped the crater stamp directly with the Antique Linen ink and rapt how it turned out.

Distress oxides used to make my scene:

Grass: Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness, Black Soot
Night Sky: Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion, Black Soot
Moon: Antique Linen

The other images have been stamped using Versafine Clair Twilight ink

Supply List:

Stamps: Mini Pipin (LAV), Moments in Time (ALT), Mini Moon (ALT)

Other: Grass stencil (LF), Just Stitched Rectangles (LF), A2 Layer dies (WF), masking magic (GK), dark green pencil, white gel pen

Challenge: Addicted to CAS #250, Power of Positivity #119

EDITED 8/2/24: My lovely night sky and contemplative bunny was chosen in the Top 3 at Addicted to CAS. Again this was a first for me, being chosen as a winner at this site,  so very exciting news.

A is for Altenew

One of my online crafty friends Anne from Shack's Papercraft has challenged herself to use NBUS stamps in 2024. She's starting off with Altenew, so I thought I could join in for January too and give some of my never before used stamps (NBUS) from Altenew some love.

I know she overdid it a bit in December but hoping she's feeling up to starting on A is for Altenew real soon.
 
The first set I grabbed is Moments in Time which has incredibly lovely sentiments, which could be used on multiple encouragement cards. I did some easy (rough) watercolouring with my Zig Real Color brush markers.

I've stamped the image using Lawn Fawn's Crunchy Leaf ink as I wanted a soft brown stamped image and as you can see looking at the sentiment which I have stamped with my Versafine Pinecone, it is much too dark. ZIGs used : Shadow Mauve #303, Milk Tea #607, Sepia #605, Bright Flamingo #216 and Lime Green #409. I've used a slightly damp no. 2 paintbrush to spread the colour. The gems are from Homey Bee. I used Strathmore Bristol smooth for the image as that is my favourite paper to colour with my ZIGs and I mounted up on Neenah Natural White as that is off-white.

I've still got more unused Altenew sets so will try and make more cards in January using them as time permits but we have tennis on TV and we're also going camping at Whangamata, so I have good intentions, I'm  just not sure if there will be time. I do intend to use more of what I have already bought in 2024 and not just buy as "I have to have it".

Is Tasnim the new Queen of Fussy Cussing???

Firstly let me say how much I LOVED my Altenew card classes at my #SCTbigboxevent but I sincerely hope Altenew brings out a die to cut out the lily from the Bold Boutique stamp set and 3D embossing folder if they release this set. I'm sure there will be 2900 stampers wanting one. 2900 is the number of people attending this virtual event from around the world.

At the last event I took part in, Vicki Boutin had us cutting out so many images and I heard the saying fussy cutting is fussy cussing for the first time and it sounds like she is infamous for making you do it in her classes. 

VB was not one of our tutors this time but Tasnim Ahmed one of the co-founders and designers for Altenew was and even though the lily is biggish it is very detailed, especially when just an embossed image on white card stock but it was worth the extra effort these are fabulous cards and I love them all.

These were the fab class supplies we received:

And the sneak peek of Tasnim's cards:

As always we have to work with our own inks for each class (everything else is provided), the first card we embossed a panel using the 3D embossing folder and then using the four piece stencil blended colour through the stencils. 

Colours I used were Puffy Heart (ALT) and Apricot (CP) for the lily. Apricot and Ginger (CP) for the roses. Fresh Pear (PFS) and Pear Pizzazz (SU!) for the leaves, these 2 colours worked really well together as a blend. We have used a gold Signo gel pen to highlight the stamens.

The second card was interesting and no way was I cutting the lily out but I didn't mask off the stencil on the RHS and had a blue line, which is why I have done a watercolour wash, so thought if I popped up the lily I might distract from my bad watercolour washing which I did in a rush as trying to keep up with the live lesson on screen. 

We had actually decided beforehand we were going to go rogue and have lilac/violet roses until we saw the class and realised we were using the teal blue ink on the leaves as well, so back to blues. I have no idea what colours we used but they came from my Pinkfresh stash. I can see one of the greens used is Grassy Knoll looking at the image and I think one of the blues maybe Blue Jay. Glitter drops are PFS Lagoon. The sentiment comes from a SU! retired set as I needed a card for an colleague that is retiring.

This is what the card looks like as a monolayer:

And it makes a huge difference IMO adding the cut-out lily. Tasnim said she only did it as she got ink on her "white space" and had to cover it up. Good mistake to make a great card FABULOUS.

The last card didn't work out on the day, so I actually made it last night and it is actually my favourite of the three. We had to die cut out a lily (AGAIN) and it was actually really hard without a stamped line.

Swipe "cream" ink on the raised portion of the lily on the embossing folder, place die cut in the debossed area and run though your embossing machine. 

Tasnim was using Altenew pigment inks which are the same colour as their dye inks but to me look chalkier like distress oxides. We never tried doing the lily on Sunday as we weren't happy with our go trying Candied Apple distress oxide on a pink card stock. 

I think we were both too hasty to say it hadn't worked, we just needed to let it dry. The test piece from Sunday was the wee strip on the RHS and it looks fab now. The one on the LHS I added shims when embossing last night trying to get a deeper impression, it looks good but too dark for my liking. Next try and oops I have lines so not smooth enough with my swooshing. Fourth time I think I got it, i.e. that's the one on the card :)

I ended up using Sweet Sorbet (SU!) on Blushing Bride cardstock for background and Shortbread (CTMH) ink for the lily. It's not as pretty as Tasnim's example above but it looks magnificent IRL. I have used a word from a set we got in our Spellbinders class kit along with their sequins which were creamy but also opalescent. I have made a wee mat of Blushing Bride using my Waffle Flower A2 layering and more layers dies.

Isn't is just heavenly. I'll be trying this technique out on other big 3D flower embossing folders I have bought from Altenew.

To the Moon

Is the name of one of my oldest Altenew stamp sets and for myself almost the start of my fascination with ink blending with distress inks. I used this set for my Christmas card in 2015 HERE and I still love that card looking at it.

I'm really behind on my card challenges as it's full steam ahead at my place getting myself and my craft room tidy enough for 2 big virtual events I am about to participate in. I have tidied up lots of "junk" in my shelves which I don't know why I keep it, apart from you never know when it will come in handy but I really wanted to rearrange my stamp sets and give the companies I love their own fridge bin; some got 1/2 a bin, some got a whole bin, and some even got 2 bins. The majority are just in bins with a lot of other stamp companies. I wanted to make sure there was room for all the new stamps, dies etc. that are winging their way to my place. 

AAA cards has "circles" for their latest challenge plus the clean and simple aspect of their challenges. As always there are some fab ideas from the DT to inspire us. I worked out quite quickly I only had 2 stamp sets I thought I could use. I settled on my "To the Moon" stamp set as I think it's wow and then so many ideas. In the end my card is inspired by this video on the Altenew channel which is a perfect pairings video showing Jaycee pairing old and new to make something FAB, FAB, FAB. Jaycee uses To the Moon and stamped in a way I hadn't really thought about using it that way and then he watercolours some poppy flowers and makes a frame on one side of his moon, mounted all up on foam and placed on an ink blended night sky. His card is very dramatic with a lot of grey used (leaves, little flowers and the night sky plus the moon).

The first thing I did was stamp one of the moon images (there are 3 in the set to build layers) but I liked what Jaycee had done as he only used the stamp that had all the craters and bumps in it. I inked it up with my lightest grey ink in my Misti, stamped  then added the next grey down the bottom and blended out with small blending brush so no harsh lines, restamped, then added darkest grey ink down the bottom but a tad higher and again used wee blending brush so no harsh lines. Die cut out with a circle die. I don't own any wee flowers like he used but remembered my craft shop sent me a mini delight flower set in a "curved spray" for Christmas as a thank you.

I decided I would stamp it on some of my backgrounds that hadn't worked when I did my Distress Watercolor Pencil class with Jenn Shurkus a few weekends ago.

I was attempting to make a rainbow background here but didn't have enough pigment down on my media mat but thought this was a good place to start laying down some more colour.

One of the cool techniques we learnt in class was splatter with the Black Soot pencil, isn't it fab!

I then fussy cut out the wee spray, which was not that easy as thick watercolour paper but I did it.

I thought about blending a background but thought it might become too busy for a CAS card so went with splattering some black card stock with white gold watercolour paint to make some stars. I liked this sentiment but used some really old embossing powder which I've had for ages and I probably needed something finer but liked the pewter with my grey. I think that is all the process.

Supply List:
Stamps: To the Moon (ALT), Flower Delight (ALT), Lift Me Up (Your Next Stamp - sentiment)

Ink: Misty Coast (PFS), Rocky Slope (PFS), Smoky Slate (SU!), Versamark, Black Soot Archival (RNG)

Paper: Watercolour (RNG), White (Lavinia), Basic Black (SU!)

Other: Pewter EP (SU! - retired), white gold watercolour paint (Gansai Tambi), distress watercolor pencils (RNG), no. 2 round paint brush (Nuvo), 1mm square stamping foam (SP), circle stack die (HB)

Challenge: AAA #234

I have chosen my round moon for my inspiration for this challenge.
