Altenew Mixed Media Ink Lovers Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi there crafty friends! I am thrilled to be joining Altenew today in their Mixed Media Ink Lovers Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from the blog of the amazing Maryam Perez.

Today I have created a card and a canvas pouch with the new Altenew Mixed Media Ink Collection. This pigment ink is water-based and will leave a gorgeous detailed impression every time. Best of all, you don't have to worry about the ink fading. It becomes permanent once heat set with a heat gun or iron. It stamped beautifully on the solid heart images on my card, and also on the canvas pouch as well. I set the ink on the canvas with my heat tool once I was done stamping. 

There are currently 8 colors of Mixed Media Ink available and you can get them all here. Here is a swatch chart so you can see them displayed all together.

hero arts: summer 2017 catalog blog hop

 

Hooray for summer! No better way to celebrate than to be participating in the Hero Arts 2017 Summer Catalog Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from the blog of the fabulous Amy Tsuruta...

Have you seen the new catalog yet? So many WONDERFUL images and all the items are in the Hero Arts shop right now! I could not decide one set or theme, so I have a few cards to share with you today. 

This card was created with the Killer Messages stamp set and dies from the Paper Layering Shark dies. The background I used just may be my new favorite Hero Arts background ever, Brushstroke Bold Prints! This is such a versatile background and I turned it into "water" simply by inking it up with a few different colors of Distress Inks and a few spritzes of water before stamping. 

This card is made with stamps from my favorite set of the entire 2017 Summer Catalog, You are Loved Messages. I love each and every sentiment in this set and am sure it will become a staple in my stash. It was developed by Hero Arts and Jennifer McGuire and 25% of the profits from the purchase of these stamps go to the Kind Campaign. I can't think of a better reason to add it to your collection! This card was made with the Love is Love Bold Prints background stamped in Ombre Neon Red to Purple Pad. I cut a heart out of the center and added a contrasting heart background in the center. The tiny little hearts were cut from the Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies. 

My final card for today is also made with the You are Loved Messages, this time by stamping, coloring and cutting the globe multiple times, and adhering it to the card with foam tape. The message was stamped on black card stock and embossed in white and adhered to the card. 

Hero Arts will be giving away three $25 shopping sprees, drawn from comments left across all blogs in the hop. Please be sure to comment by Wednesday, 5/24 at 11:59pm PT and the winner will be announced the following week! The next stop on the hop is the fabulous Yana Smakula and I am sure she has something fantastic in store for you!

winnie & walter: birthday bash special guest star

Hi there. I am over on the Winnie & Walter blog today as a special guest star to help them celebrate their 3rd Birthday Bash!  Hope you will stop over and take a look at the projects that I have created for them and wish them a big Happy Birthday :)

concord & 9th: love notes for everyone

I'm thrilled to be sharing my last guest post for the January release today! Thank you again to Concord & 9th for having me, it is always a pleasure to create with your stamps :)

I have been getting a lot of use out of the Love Notes set and the Love Notes Envelope die. I decided to cut a bunch of them out and make one for all of the folks on my list who could use a little love. 

 

 

The first one is embossed in gold, colored over with a watercolor wash and stamped over with a few hearts:  

 The second is an ombre pattern using dye inks, and the hearts stamp from the Love Always set:

 Then there is a black and gold combo made with some embossing and a spritz of Tarnished Brass Distress Mica Spray: 

A more "manly" approach using the Barnwood Background: 

A colorful combo of bright hearts: 

 

 And a marbled look using Distress paint: 

 There really is no limit to the combinations you can make to personalize these little envelopes! And they are the perfect size to fit gift cards.

concord & 9th: love always bundle

So happy to be guest posting for Concord & 9th's newest release. Today I am featuring the Love Always Bundle and Happy Card Frame dies to make this fun filled shaker card. I colored the heart stamp in with Distress Markers, spritzed it and stamped it on some watercolor paper then used the frame die and the Love Always die to create the pretty love frame. 

I love the little strip of hearts that comes with the Love Always die as well, I used the little hearts that punch out as an element within my shaker....they are the perfect size! 

There are so many possibilities with this set. I hope you enjoyed my take on it!
