Happy Everything

I've completed the Easy Die-Cutting Techniques module at the Altenew Educator Certification Program and this is my project.

After stamping the layered Springtime Azaleas to make a background, I die-cut the "everything" once from the background using the outline and then in black for the word (Halftone Everything stamps and dies) and popped it up on black foam.

Rainbow butterfly

I stamped the Happy Little Stampers butterfly onto a watercolour background, cut it out with the matching die and popped it up on black foam.

CAS poinsettia

Just popping in with a quick little CAS Christmas card.  A simple design which could be replicated quite easily if you need a lot of Christmas cards. I haven't had so much time to craft recently. We have been in a heat wave in UK for the last couple of months with no rain, watering all the garden and hanging baskets and the vegs takes up quite a bit of time! 

The theme at CAS Christmas Challenge is "Poinsettia".

All About Layering

I'm happy to be taking part in the Altenew Educator Certification Program! I have just completed the first module entitled "All About Layering" and learned how to use the lovely Altenew layered flower stamps. 

This is what I made using the Vintage Blooms set with sentiment from Happy Blooms. I was happy with how it turned out and love the way the layered flowers look.

Tangerine & Olive

Less Is More would like to see cards featuring the colours Olive and Tangerine and here is mine.

I googled the colour olive and there seemed to be quite a variation in what constitutes the colour olive, some more green, some more yellow-ish. I used Crushed Olive distress ink.

Watercolour flowers

This is my entry for the CAS Coloours and Sketches colour challenge. Lovely colour line-up this week.

I stamped the flowers, water-coloured and fussy cut them.

Leaf frame

The theme at AAA Cards is "Use a Frame". I've made a few cards recently using the eclipse technique and word dies, so I thought I would try it with a frame and here it is.

Dragonfly

This week's theme at Less Is More is 'Bits Box' Item. I delved into my alcohol ink bits and pieces and found an acetate piece which I placed behind a die-cut dragonfly frame.

Noel

Just a quick post to show you another card using the eclipse technique. 

This card was difficult to photograph.  It's actually a white card but the light isn't great. The large snowflake is heat embossed in silver and the letters are popped up on black foam.

This is for CAS Christmas where they would like to see "masculine" Christmas cards.
