Altenew November Monthly Kits

 

I got a chance to play with a couple of the new monthly kits. First up is the Craft Your Life: Wings & Petals Kit. This kit has so much mileage with so many different looks.

The next card uses the new alcohol markers

Cottage Garden Set.

The embossing folder and stencil make beautiful cards.

The new set of cards uses the new Stencil Art: Natures Splashes Stencil set.

I used the Cottage Garden Alcohol Marker Set to color the butterfly and leaves.

The next set of cards is using the Build-A-Flower: Coreopsis and the Crafty Necessities cardstock bundle.

Altenew November Inspiration

 

Hello. The colors of the November challenge on the Altenew Card Blog just said CHRISTMAS to me. I also love a kraft card base. So, using my new Altenew markers and the Festive Poinsettia stamp set. I colored the simple stamped image on a kraft card panel. My coloring skills need work, but I am trying.

I hope you will play along with the challenge this month.

Altenew October Inspiration 2

October's color palette was a fun one to work with and I have been playing with interesting Christmas color schemes. So I played with Altenews' geometric stamp sets to create two cards. The first card uses the Trigonometry set and the Tall Alpha Die Set. 

The sub-greeting is from the Festive Poinsettia set.

The second card uses the Mini Pattern Power and the Festive Poinsettia stamp sets. Just a fun little shaker card with the HoneyBee Globe/Ornament Shaker Tag.

Altenew October Inspiration

Hello there. Altenews Inspiration Challenge this month has a fun color palette. These colors have always been one of my favorites to ink blend. I took that one step further by creating my own stencil with the Grid Cover die and blended the ink through to create my background panel.

I used the Floral Doodles die set to create my focal point and the Bold Thanks die set for the greeting. A little bit of pink glitter paper to create the stripe, greeting backdrop and accent dots. I added some Nuvo Crystal drops over the accent dots for a bit of dimension.

Sending You Sweet Wishes

 Hey you, 

I am joining up with Simon Says Stamps "Sweet Wishes" release today. I played with the Polar Christmas set. It is a big six by eight set with the cutest penguins doing all kinds of winter activities. There are three penguin images that I didn't even use. The penguins and stockings are colored with alcohol markers with a dose of Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents. I fussy cut my images.

This next card also used the Simon Says Stamp Geo Flower Builder set to create my waves in the water.

To create the colored presents, I flipped the line image of the present over and used the back of the stamp to color my images with ink.

My final card also used the Papertrey Ink Smooth Alphabet and Numbers dies. The penguin also got a fluffy, white 

pom-pom for his hat.

I hope you enjoyed my inspiration for this fun new set,

Polar Christmas!
