I've always enjoyed sending cards to friends and in 2017 I started creating my own cards. In 2018 I thought I would try posting some of my favorite cards to a blog.
I am married and have two wonderful daughters. In addition to cardmaking, I enjoy doting on my mini-Aussie and playing tennis.Karen Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16321233323047523976noreply@blogger.comBlogger252125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1200506870621285764.post-10275716079440029642021-10-17T06:37:00.003-05:002021-12-28T05:52:59.275-06:00New Blog Site<p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Hello friends.

Spellbinders Blog today! I have three
projects from The Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca
Feeken. This is a lovely set and each
card makes such an elegant statement. The
projects would be so pretty in gold and white, but I went a bit more bold with
black and teal frames and then mixed in colorful floral die cuts. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTzEv-1Mqb70bGzEWqdMOySOSZteMQpeh-Ula2uxuEZJlGagfrDQKl9kyZX9tMMMf2gJt-obtLy-_-qKIKFj8E5znMyF2M68raWJgsDQ-PXLON2GE-LeHtkK9N8TCF5_x6DeNOmcoIjpAx/s2048/Karen+-+Brown+-+2021+-+Beautiful+Sentiment+Vignettes+-+duo+-+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTzEv-1Mqb70bGzEWqdMOySOSZteMQpeh-Ula2uxuEZJlGagfrDQKl9kyZX9tMMMf2gJt-obtLy-_-qKIKFj8E5znMyF2M68raWJgsDQ-PXLON2GE-LeHtkK9N8TCF5_x6DeNOmcoIjpAx/w640-h426/Karen+-+Brown+-+2021+-+Beautiful+Sentiment+Vignettes+-+duo+-+2.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>BIRTHDAY WISHES VIGNETTE</b><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">I used the <a href="https://shrsl.com/31ec4">Birthday Wishes Vignette Etched Dies</a> on this first card and I went with fun summery

The Altenew Educators are hopping and this time we are creating "anything except a card". I enjoy gift wrapping and decided to craft a gift "topper". Altenew's Craft-A-Flower releases are always one of my favorites so I wanted to make a layered die-cut flower using this month's <a href="https://shrsl.com/2zrir">Peruvian Lily</a>.

With gel prints, you never know what you are going to get so I start with colors in mind and then start printing. These are pretty basic prints but they look so pretty when die-cut. For June I was thinking either an orange or pink bloom with a blue background so I laid out some prints. I love the blue background...kinda Monetish and I ultimately decided on an orange and yellow lilly. I will be using the pink panels soon.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUd9tojInkesHg4rxlkXakhte4Z9HCr4eVUkmxx9_pjZ_gYAJ0yLlnFDoP1Q3BUk3ZUSAnurTbMVe67TgWKetcy5-sKU_R74feH1_TTChGO9ePCQuGNwu0oKbDlo03j7eKEWUgXA3AuDXc/s2048/Craft+A+Flower.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUd9tojInkesHg4rxlkXakhte4Z9HCr4eVUkmxx9_pjZ_gYAJ0yLlnFDoP1Q3BUk3ZUSAnurTbMVe67TgWKetcy5-sKU_R74feH1_TTChGO9ePCQuGNwu0oKbDlo03j7eKEWUgXA3AuDXc/w640-h426/Craft+A+Flower.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">These dies were easy to line up and the lily is big and sh</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">owy.

If you like to die-cut there are endless possibilites....I found them so addiciting! For this first card, I used brightly colored scraps of gel press prints. My inspiration was gum drops and I die cut 14 rainbow hued "gum drops" and adhered them to my card with foam tape. I crafted my slimline card using the <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fnesting%2Dslim%2Drectangles%2Ddie%2Dset&afftrack=">Nesting Slim Rectangles Die Set</a>. </span></div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCYSCVxwjrMLcVFmsFn0iqwlCgjtpzbJ6vcCCw1V_RrQ3IdUXnVK-qYywGFAlqrfyzO50RKRrSEiHyr7jnM5LkyDjb-frINj_r8iV1wYEDkokas4WrlWd8LgBlSDuAhavjg6YaezOJwtjy/s2048/Altenew+-+Color+Bands+dies+-+Slim+Rectangles+dies+-+gumdrops+rectangle.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Rainbow Gel Press monoprint card." border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCYSCVxwjrMLcVFmsFn0iqwlCgjtpzbJ6vcCCw1V_RrQ3IdUXnVK-qYywGFAlqrfyzO50RKRrSEiHyr7jnM5LkyDjb-frINj_r8iV1wYEDkokas4WrlWd8LgBlSDuAhavjg6YaezOJwtjy/w640-h426/Altenew+-+Color+Bands+dies+-+Slim+Rectangles+dies+-+gumdrops+rectangle.jpg" title="Altenew Color Bands die cut card." width="640" /></a>Die Cutting With Gel Press Prints</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I wanted rainbow colors for my "squiggles" card also.

The lines on the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2zgps">Seas The Day</a> sailboat are just beautiful and I thought a "blueprint look" would be very striking. I stamped the boat with Saphire from the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2xhlo">Glacier Caves mini ink cube set</a>. I then hand inked an accent panel and sentiment strip with the same Saphire ink and Altenew's <a href="https://shrsl.com/2ndn">Large Blending Tool</a> and set this behind the sailboat to frame the top panel. I like the coordinating saphire sentiment band (<a href="Altenew Essential Sentiment Strips">Altenew Essential Sentiment Strips</a>).

The Altenew Educators have a fun Instagram Hop called Mixed Media Madness currently underway. There are loads of prizes and lots of inspiring projects so I hope you can hop along with us. I drew my inspiration from my backyard. The two mixed media backgrounds are my interpretation of the water in my swimming pool and the layered die-cuts are based on my potted coral Hibiscus. I handcrafted all the paper used to die-cut my flowers. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: normal;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYddas86j7ktK5InjvIayXIy3klzNqKDxDkem7XABWVGtrbeUW60J5uPv4-nCEXs2zCssvAfrqJur7_rkRleI4_StaaFPiFmDgPN7suCJsjqlzjL0dvP1KZvqUNL-CieLeen9q-ruUkvbg/s2048/Altenew+-+Hibiscus+Garden+3D+-+Birthday+Greetings.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Turquoise and Coral Gelli Prints." border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYddas86j7ktK5InjvIayXIy3klzNqKDxDkem7XABWVGtrbeUW60J5uPv4-nCEXs2zCssvAfrqJur7_rkRleI4_StaaFPiFmDgPN7suCJsjqlzjL0dvP1KZvqUNL-CieLeen9q-ruUkvbg/w640-h640/Altenew+-+Hibiscus+Garden+3D+-+Birthday+Greetings.jpg" title="Altenew Hibiscus Garden with Acrylic Gel Press Die cuts and background." width="640" /></a></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have been loving layering dies lately and wanted to get out an old favorite, <a href="https://shrsl.com/2kal8">Altenew's Hibiscus Garden</a> as I think it is perfect going into summer. I used this set as the focal point for both of my cards. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I loosely mixed turquoise, white and pale yellow acrylic paint with a brayer for my background. The leaves are cut from painted acrylic panels of moss, spring green and pale yellow. The Hibiscus are cut from three panels: orange, orange + white and a panel of white with a hint of orange. The sentiment is from <a href="https://shrsl.com/2ut3c">Altenew's Birthday Greetings</a> stamp set.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTkyW6PHbGKJ697ReULUCLEBDr0cBcnMdoVcKNvwxact-BoSqA9eOmVLmwo_aHE9fqBc3OVzSYWAA7TyKLzQnQf6ekUEzz63PwLAUQyjamEPW8XH5QaNjp_jCCk7u98S2BoOLHIHtofaY6/s2048/Altenew+-+Hibiscus+Garden+3D+-+Rounded+Rectangles+Die+-+Narrow+Brick+Stencil.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Altenew Mixed Media Card." border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTkyW6PHbGKJ697ReULUCLEBDr0cBcnMdoVcKNvwxact-BoSqA9eOmVLmwo_aHE9fqBc3OVzSYWAA7TyKLzQnQf6ekUEzz63PwLAUQyjamEPW8XH5QaNjp_jCCk7u98S2BoOLHIHtofaY6/w640-h640/Altenew+-+Hibiscus+Garden+3D+-+Rounded+Rectangles+Die+-+Narrow+Brick+Stencil.jpg" title="Altnew Hibiscus Garden + Rounded Rectangles + Narrow Brick Stencil" width="640" /></a></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The background for my second card is similar but there was leftover blue on my gel plate. I also added an additional layer of gold using my favorite <a href="https://shrsl.com/2senv ">Narrow Brick Stencil </a>. This stencil just came out this spring, but it is already my most used stencil! I love the subtle texture and dimension it adds. I then die cut the panel using <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2u6oh"> Altenew's Rounded Rectangles die</a>. I added craft foam to the back of the panel and adhered the flower with foam tape.</span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!</span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Karen</span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p>Karen Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16321233323047523976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1200506870621285764.post-16544158850763517272021-05-11T05:30:00.070-05:002021-05-11T08:29:49.543-05:00Altenew 8”x11” Majestic Bouquet Stamp Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($200 in Total Prizes)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Yjj1CGD4gknxYL0t9RlagxfH0ou9j62Wz8qWQNt3w6dRSf0L1SmiOmMjp83pQP-Rxwaq3T2h33iu0UaOO0wU0Uw1INo-OH_80bFhjd4MKJi2RcXh5Lkzzj6i0WAR38NSTmpVwPWpZ0V2/s1440/4C5B7588-9194-416D-8972-91A17CCD1C03.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Yjj1CGD4gknxYL0t9RlagxfH0ou9j62Wz8qWQNt3w6dRSf0L1SmiOmMjp83pQP-Rxwaq3T2h33iu0UaOO0wU0Uw1INo-OH_80bFhjd4MKJi2RcXh5Lkzzj6i0WAR38NSTmpVwPWpZ0V2/w640-h400/4C5B7588-9194-416D-8972-91A17CCD1C03.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Hello friends! <span>Today we’re celebrating Altenew's <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fmajestic%2Dbouquet%2Dstamp%2Dset&afftrack=">Majestic Bouquet</a> Layering Stamp release</span><span> </span><span>and I have three cards to share.

I love paper, which I think is one of the many reasons I am a paper crafter. If you are fond of paper then I know you will appreciate Altenew's gorgeous new Wildflower Collection too. The release is full of beautiful colors, fun patterns and lovely floral papers plus two gorgeous ephemera packs. To celebrate, Altenew is hosting a blog hop with beautiful inspiration and fun prizes. <a href="https://wp.me/p6Dps1-dD9">Link To Blog Hop</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKN5G7soQoq2gYZSot7B-k5beoYUeuEzhbSqkeIAqyLrxPuXdghYGu6NSaeAcMeY_UxvwlSK4SMYY5DPpr103pjfPswrCXlqU5VXm7_J0QTLGmxER3YXpAoQLkUOnBKdpN5cKgklHadXY3/s2048/Altenew+-+Wildflower+6x6+-Pink+Posy+Ephemera+-+Bitty+Bits+Ephemera+-+Hibiscus+Garden+3D+-+Cherry+Blossom+Enamel+Dots+-+Garden+Trellis+Cover+Die.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1237" data-original-width="2048" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKN5G7soQoq2gYZSot7B-k5beoYUeuEzhbSqkeIAqyLrxPuXdghYGu6NSaeAcMeY_UxvwlSK4SMYY5DPpr103pjfPswrCXlqU5VXm7_J0QTLGmxER3YXpAoQLkUOnBKdpN5cKgklHadXY3/w640-h386/Altenew+-+Wildflower+6x6+-Pink+Posy+Ephemera+-+Bitty+Bits+Ephemera+-+Hibiscus+Garden+3D+-+Cherry+Blossom+Enamel+Dots+-+Garden+Trellis+Cover+Die.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Cardmaking with Altenew Ephemera and Printed Cardstock</h2><p>I created three cards for this release. On my first card, all the colored paper is from the <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fwildflower%2Dpaper%2Dcrafting%2Dcollection%2D6x6%2Dpaper%2Dpack&afftrack=">Wildflower Collection 6x6" Paper Pack</a>. I love Altenew's <a href="https://shrsl.com/2kal8">Hibiscus Garden 3D Layering Die Set</a> and thought it would be fun to die cut the elements from different papers in the pack. I used two pages for the flower, two different pages for the leaves and then the soft green for the background. I added a bit of splatter with Altenew's <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fjet%2Dblack%2Dink%2Dspray&afftrack=">Jet Black</a> and <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=40&u=2561225&m=47&urllink=shareasale%2Ecom%2Fr%2Ecfm%3Fb%3D888816%26u%3D2561225%26m%3D66850%26urllink%3Daltenew%252Ecom%252Fproducts%252Fjet%252Dblack%252Dink%252Dspray%26afftrack%3D&afftrack=">Pure White</a> ink sprays. I pulled the sprayer out and tapped the hose for pefect splatter each time. So much faster than mixing ink each time.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyWcS-hI9Pno-UTX9NSoaW3AUq1_jrjZi6d0V0d1gJTVZziOiZQkchKdsGUII8QdBPAq7q9tLOdjaQuc1HGVvwHveqGoSKVg7Z997AWvE3WJyuJzmarYcbyet7yPLP7Ora5u86h39D2u6B/s2048/Altenew+-+Wildflower+6x6+-+Hibiscus+Garden+3D+-+Jet+Black+Ink+Spray+-+White+Ink+Spray.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Altenew Hibiscus Garden 3D layering dies" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyWcS-hI9Pno-UTX9NSoaW3AUq1_jrjZi6d0V0d1gJTVZziOiZQkchKdsGUII8QdBPAq7q9tLOdjaQuc1HGVvwHveqGoSKVg7Z997AWvE3WJyuJzmarYcbyet7yPLP7Ora5u86h39D2u6B/w640-h640/Altenew+-+Wildflower+6x6+-+Hibiscus+Garden+3D+-+Jet+Black+Ink+Spray+-+White+Ink+Spray.jpg" title="Die cutting with Altenew Patterned Paper." width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitEtDDdLlOB1FKkV8Xkcd9fm3RcuVPM8Qvmih17nAjZtyXY9ruYH5_7VgDdt_hBMAPhfM_8xMLu7KCnlVP0ktMbJfMpTk21Fg-LO0YXf2AjjlVuASgpWEenngxus4eMw9vDxoIToeumVF8/s1200/Wildflower+Paper.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitEtDDdLlOB1FKkV8Xkcd9fm3RcuVPM8Qvmih17nAjZtyXY9ruYH5_7VgDdt_hBMAPhfM_8xMLu7KCnlVP0ktMbJfMpTk21Fg-LO0YXf2AjjlVuASgpWEenngxus4eMw9vDxoIToeumVF8/w400-h400/Wildflower+Paper.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The second card uses <a href="https://altenew.com/products/wildflower-paper-crafting-collection-bitty-bits-ephemera">Bitty Bits Ephemera</a> for a fast and colorful card. For the background, I again splattered a white card base with <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=40&u=2561225&m=47&urllink=shareasale%2Ecom%2Fr%2Ecfm%3Fb%3D888816%26u%3D2561225%26m%3D66850%26urllink%3Daltenew%252Ecom%252Fproducts%252Fjet%252Dblack%252Dink%252Dspray%26afftrack%3D&afftrack=">Pure White</a> and <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=40&u=2561225&m=47&urllink=shareasale%2Ecom%2Fr%2Ecfm%3Fb%3D888816%26u%3D2561225%26m%3D66850%26urllink%3Daltenew%252Ecom%252Fproducts%252Fjet%252Dblack%252Dink%252Dspray%26afftrack%3D&afftrack=">Jet Black</a> ink splatters. Next I used the <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fgarden%2Dtrellis%2Dcover%2Ddie&afftrack=">Garden Trellis Cover Die</a> and patterned paper from the <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fwildflower%2Dpaper%2Dcrafting%2Dcollection%2D6x6%2Dpaper%2Dpack&afftrack=">Wildflower Collection 6x6" Paper Pad</a> to die cut a lovely background overlay. I then arranged and layered the ephemera and adhered with foam tape. The packet has loads of die cuts, so I have plenty left over for future projects.

I used my favorite Altenew Craft-A-Flower kit, <a href="https://shrsl.com/2rc4f">Cosmos Layering Dies</a> for each of my projects. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">I sorted through my prints and selected bright colors that I thought would look nice on a card. The first print was loosely brayered with turquoise and brown acrylic ink. The flowers were die cut from three monoprint panels: orange/red/gold; olive/yellow/gold and the whitish elements were cut from panels where I brayered off ink in between prints, so they have more white areas. My sentiment is from an ancient labeler I had at the house.</span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit07IEmmufKpsXdGyDRbtuCMr-qjwBgcfLqDz-k1hOuDriSWww2-82tAryINM1mT56cu-JZv5Xcl8gGbFjTD9NIrp-p_1KfuZJMLl44ro1bUWcGrTFVenVHRAKjItG5y384hQ08E07eNiw/s2048/CAF+Cosmos+-+Glue+Pen+-+up.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img alt="Gel Press Die Cut Flowers" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit07IEmmufKpsXdGyDRbtuCMr-qjwBgcfLqDz-k1hOuDriSWww2-82tAryINM1mT56cu-JZv5Xcl8gGbFjTD9NIrp-p_1KfuZJMLl44ro1bUWcGrTFVenVHRAKjItG5y384hQ08E07eNiw/w640-h640/CAF+Cosmos+-+Glue+Pen+-+up.jpg" title="Die Cut Flowers From Acrylic Gelli Prints" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I love the background on this next card!

I am so pleased to be participating in my first Altenew Educator Blog Hop! I went through the certification program last year and loved every minute! For this post, I wanted to focus on two favorite stamp sets that I purchased while I was a student in the program, <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fdoodle%2Dblooms%2Dstamp%2Ddie%2Dbundle&afftrack=">Doodle Blooms</a> and <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Finked%2Dlotus%2Dstamp%2Ddie%2Dbundle&afftrack=">Inked Lotus</a>. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLCv5B8y0QaAQrIAskpjJ1vVNvV8Q2-tjh_vsgjfKnqxIzqlVTf4DNEZ3baSeXM1D-6OBiJr907nrcneF3qatgZDREXEHaEk6dZ9nvMGFKIo0vGxwpqqVztNZm7jV86ogWighWinysBbDG/s2048/Doodle+Blooms+-+CAF+Cosmos+-+Glacier+Caves+dots+-+New+Day+dots+-+Painted+Grid+Washi+-+HR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Altenew Doodle Bloom Die Cut Mixed Media Card" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLCv5B8y0QaAQrIAskpjJ1vVNvV8Q2-tjh_vsgjfKnqxIzqlVTf4DNEZ3baSeXM1D-6OBiJr907nrcneF3qatgZDREXEHaEk6dZ9nvMGFKIo0vGxwpqqVztNZm7jV86ogWighWinysBbDG/w400-h400/Doodle+Blooms+-+CAF+Cosmos+-+Glacier+Caves+dots+-+New+Day+dots+-+Painted+Grid+Washi+-+HR.jpg" title="Die Cut Flowers from Gelli Plate Monoprints." width="400" /></a></div><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Using Stencils on Acrylic Gel Press Mixed Media Cards</span></h1>I spent a day making 5 x 7" acrylic gel press backgrounds in a variety of colors and using lots of Altenew stencils and stamps. I love color and texture and wanted this "daisy" card to be bold and vibrant so I started with this gorgeous red panel. With a brayer, I mixed pink, orange and brilliant red and applied to a plate that had some leftover yellow and green already on the press. After the panel dried, I added a layer using the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2m5jc"> Flowing Drops Stencil</a> and then an additional layer of gold with the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2senv">Narrow Brick Stencil</a>. You can see the lovely gold shimmer in the second photo. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJtn8fRAPnmnHzvOfec4t7cVYvKhhjW0bBFOrXv_qwGnPPAoZoFdZWnDEtXupAleE2MujpZlMEiyfN_-5PHs-Y2GyGhtsG2Uoj6UCqPJPOl0aMWYrgrGGG0_qykMTnyoVf59YcMkgmoIf/s2048/Doodle+Blooms+-+CAF+Cosmos+-+Glacier+Caves+dots+-+New+Day+dots+-+Painted+Grid+Washi+-+HRup.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Altenew Doodle Blooms and Narrow Brick Stencil" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJtn8fRAPnmnHzvOfec4t7cVYvKhhjW0bBFOrXv_qwGnPPAoZoFdZWnDEtXupAleE2MujpZlMEiyfN_-5PHs-Y2GyGhtsG2Uoj6UCqPJPOl0aMWYrgrGGG0_qykMTnyoVf59YcMkgmoIf/w400-h400/Doodle+Blooms+-+CAF+Cosmos+-+Glacier+Caves+dots+-+New+Day+dots+-+Painted+Grid+Washi+-+HRup.jpg" title="Mixed Media card with die cut flowers" width="400" /></a></div><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Die Cutting Floral Images from Acrylic Gel Press Monoprints</span></h1>Using the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2u23t">Doodle Blooms Bundle</a>, I stamped and die-cut a bunch of blooms from some of the other hand-crafted acrylic panels. I think this is such a happy and cheerful stamp set. I laid the die-cut flowers on the red panel and selected the blooms I liked best on the background and adhered with foam tape. The stems are from the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2rc4f">Craft-A-Flower Cosmos Kit.</a> The flower centers are enamel dots from the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2se7b"> Glacier Caves</a> and <a href="https://shrsl.com/2p6n3">New Day</a> collections. I finished off by adding a sentiment with a strip of my favorite <a href="https://shrsl.com/2p6n6">Painted Grid Washi Tape.</a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOcPdgO7xYpKGjd14fGO428DR96SULSo0cxlfRufzrF58r0ITsk79EQJubr38naAGXXjFUI7ZFk4bbCWXm0cPaZB1s76mASsiDKtxeq9DiuGjsuIKUDBW_Qy7Pqc4fgvUGbxnFVGEsppKv/s2048/Inked+Lotus+-+Rounded+Rectangles+die+-+Flowing+Drops+Stenci+-+Crystal+Clear+Embossing+Powder+-+HR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tone on Tone Orange Mixed Media card." border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOcPdgO7xYpKGjd14fGO428DR96SULSo0cxlfRufzrF58r0ITsk79EQJubr38naAGXXjFUI7ZFk4bbCWXm0cPaZB1s76mASsiDKtxeq9DiuGjsuIKUDBW_Qy7Pqc4fgvUGbxnFVGEsppKv/w400-h400/Inked+Lotus+-+Rounded+Rectangles+die+-+Flowing+Drops+Stenci+-+Crystal+Clear+Embossing+Powder+-+HR.jpg" title="Mixed Media card using Altenew Inked Lotus." width="400" /></a></div>The background from this next card is the top portion of the panel I used on the daisy card above. I die cut it with the largest <a href="https://altenew.com/products/rounded-rectangles-die-set">Rounded Rectangle</a> and then backed with foam for dimension. The <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Finked%2Dlotus%2Dstamp%2Ddie%2Dbundle&afftrack=">Inked Lotus</a> was heat embossed and die cut from a coordinating monoprint panel for a tone-on-tone look and was adhered with foam tape. The sentiment was die-cut from black cardstock using the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2ndpg">Essential Sentiments Set</a>. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZFObkZtqZonSSJBDbi0i9iXY9z4gXs24gy_V8C4EWlaiW_3jAgwDGWKiW1xKWmnypDn1OtK3v4zpMqswcXeyXQxCVPovCaz-ZXoljjDpUJvkZkxhZbUheRSNrhrR2ZvViY7Ggt5ATrUes/s2048/Inked+Lotus+-+Narrow+Brick+Stencil+-+Crystal+Clear+Embossing+Powder.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Acrylic Paint Gel Press Mixed Media Card." border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZFObkZtqZonSSJBDbi0i9iXY9z4gXs24gy_V8C4EWlaiW_3jAgwDGWKiW1xKWmnypDn1OtK3v4zpMqswcXeyXQxCVPovCaz-ZXoljjDpUJvkZkxhZbUheRSNrhrR2ZvViY7Ggt5ATrUes/w400-h400/Inked+Lotus+-+Narrow+Brick+Stencil+-+Crystal+Clear+Embossing+Powder.jpg" title="Altenew Inked Lotus Mixed Media Card." width="400" /></a></div><br />I made a second similar card, but this time the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/inked-lotus-stamp-die-bundle">Inked Lotus</a> was die cut from a red/orange acrylic panel where I brayered a lot of turqouise ink over the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2senv">Narrow Brick Stencil</a>. This is my favorite stencil to use on monoprints. The background panel was brayered with Yellow, Olive and Turquoise. After the paint dried, layers were added with the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2m5jq"> Leaves and Berries Stencil</a> (blue), <a href="50 https://shrsl.com/2m5ge">Mega Bloom Stencil</a> and finally the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2senv">Narrow Brick Stencil</a> was lightly inked in gold over the background panel. I love the dimension you get by adding layer upon layer with stencils and stamps. <br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOlanmW-7Juuq74rtWcYx5CgKuztoCnBLPq1LJ45P-58ULupTt354GXuBbsizOI0uBDb_m55QS7nj7dWS13pKZtJqT07Tw4SHknem_SBeI9RMGsyaZdnOwezPoHot0T_vHQeKynL04CgHq/s2048/Doodle+Blooms+-+Mega+Bloom+stencil+-+Glacier+Caves+Enamel+Dots+-+HRflat.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Blue and Violet Monet like Mixed Media card." border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOlanmW-7Juuq74rtWcYx5CgKuztoCnBLPq1LJ45P-58ULupTt354GXuBbsizOI0uBDb_m55QS7nj7dWS13pKZtJqT07Tw4SHknem_SBeI9RMGsyaZdnOwezPoHot0T_vHQeKynL04CgHq/w400-h400/Doodle+Blooms+-+Mega+Bloom+stencil+-+Glacier+Caves+Enamel+Dots+-+HRflat.jpg" title="Acrylic Gel Press Handmade card." width="400" /></a></div>For my last card, I changed things up and used softer colors: Sky Blue, Blue Violent, Light Purple and Brilliant Purple over a press that had some leftover Olive and Turquoise. I then brayered over the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2m5ge">Mega Bloom Stencil</a> with a light coat of gold. You can see the shimmer better in the second photo. I again used the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2u23t"> Doodle Blooms Stamp and Die Bundle</a> to stamp and cut my elements from a variety of gel press prints. I finished with <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2se7b"> Glacier Caves Enamel Dots</a> for the centers.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFIAW9pORGq3_jfFdEoHpzfUt6o8hb2tUkQ70VOMHMVk4KLtoUnwZXm-m28gjQQwexfrirFkWR28OMFfLJNnkUb2mGg76L_2v45Qq6UCxBqo2ipcTZbx4s_Ux3WnHgTD1xNpyxSkyR7v9V/s2048/Doodle+Blooms+-+Mega+Bloom+stencil+-+Glacier+Caves+Enamel+Dots+-+HRup.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Blue and Violet Gel Press Card Background" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFIAW9pORGq3_jfFdEoHpzfUt6o8hb2tUkQ70VOMHMVk4KLtoUnwZXm-m28gjQQwexfrirFkWR28OMFfLJNnkUb2mGg76L_2v45Qq6UCxBqo2ipcTZbx4s_Ux3WnHgTD1xNpyxSkyR7v9V/w400-h400/Doodle+Blooms+-+Mega+Bloom+stencil+-+Glacier+Caves+Enamel+Dots+-+HRup.jpg" title="Gold stenciling over Mixed Media Acrylic Background" width="400" /></a></div><br />Here is a photo of two of the backgrounds prior to card assembly.

Last year, a cardmaking friend gave me a 1968 dictionary that was part of a classroom set that was no longer used. I thought it was time to use a page or two in my cardmaking. I've also been fascinated by some of the ATC's (artist trading cards) that I've been seeing on Instagram so that was the inspiration for this card. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mixed Media Greeting Card</span></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLtumTaXZzQG8RCOxLudj9FfrAoqUzEgkHaksRWSAzHVaC5poWWJA_kX1h2Nc494iDFsDf1Xtnzx1aBCTjxL4rYcRjF1EvXLBz1NO5jN1vfF2V001pEFY-uM9oz0PIqyztdowHGDBPRPed/s2048/Celebrate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pink, Orange, Red and Aqua Acrylic Paint" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLtumTaXZzQG8RCOxLudj9FfrAoqUzEgkHaksRWSAzHVaC5poWWJA_kX1h2Nc494iDFsDf1Xtnzx1aBCTjxL4rYcRjF1EvXLBz1NO5jN1vfF2V001pEFY-uM9oz0PIqyztdowHGDBPRPed/w640-h640/Celebrate.jpg" title="Mixed Media ATC style greeting card." width="640" /></a></div><div>Using the dictionary pages, I stamped and die cut the flowers using the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2u23t"> Doodle Blooms Bundle</a>. I then used watercolor pencils and a damp <a href="https://shrsl.com/2rkjx">watercolor brush</a> to shade and color the diecuts.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEVVHJ-1hWAEQ5xsLugbSdpnS2Q2UQ2gov0cx79W2x1CfLmcx-seDIQA3lqIc1LKH_FFZXkGseuDqJvGe5sHL-jji8xEq6vMyZVJFOK8QLv-M-kCGztraAnhhX0xr2gqRb2OZ6hS1lHNSa/s2048/Celebrate+angle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Altenew Doodle Blooms Mixed Media card." border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEVVHJ-1hWAEQ5xsLugbSdpnS2Q2UQ2gov0cx79W2x1CfLmcx-seDIQA3lqIc1LKH_FFZXkGseuDqJvGe5sHL-jji8xEq6vMyZVJFOK8QLv-M-kCGztraAnhhX0xr2gqRb2OZ6hS1lHNSa/w640-h640/Celebrate+angle.jpg" title="Die Cut Flowers from Dictionary pages." width="640" /></a></div>I wanted a rough, colorful background, so I applied pink, orange and red acrylic ink to mixed media paper with a brayer. After the paint dried, I used the brayer to apply aqua ink over the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2senv">Narrow Bricks Stencil</a>. I let this dry and then used the accent leaves from the <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Ftea%2Dtime%2Dstamp%2Ddie%2Dbundle&afftrack=">Tea Time</a> set and the greenery from the <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fbillowing%2Dblossoms%2Dstamp%2Dset&afftrack=">Billowing Blossoms</a> stamp to randomly stamp on the background. For the ATC look, I used the<a href=" https://shrsl.com/2u6oh"> Rounded Rectangles</a> to die-cut my background panel. The sentiment is from <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fbirthday%2Dgreetings&afftrack=">The Birthday Greetings Set</a>. With black ink, I inked the edges of the background and the sentiment strips and then applied <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2seo7"> Tea Party Enamel Dots</a> for the center of the flowers. <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1PPLJm-yz7oZ5rS-MninkhHKACO_G82KejzmJK1COELpvysgRa1-2HoF77mv1wVmZf03LwzWoY1WyEXJz-7VmTnG_wX_GPbqOXNtT2FwHZEcPTbrQ7wBY6sdcbAJjJvtkBYgMPaMAF0V/s2048/Celebrate+up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="ATC Greeting Card" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1PPLJm-yz7oZ5rS-MninkhHKACO_G82KejzmJK1COELpvysgRa1-2HoF77mv1wVmZf03LwzWoY1WyEXJz-7VmTnG_wX_GPbqOXNtT2FwHZEcPTbrQ7wBY6sdcbAJjJvtkBYgMPaMAF0V/w640-h640/Celebrate+up.jpg" title="Artist Trading Card Greeting Card" width="640" /></a></p><h2 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Gelli Plate Monoprint Card</span></h2><div>For this second card, I used gel press printing and acrylic paints (violet, tourquoise, yellow, olive and magenta) to make this striking background. I used the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2m5jc"> Flowing Drops Stencil</a> on my second layer. I then used <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fdeep%2Diris&afftrack=">Deep Iris Dye Ink</a> to stamp a variety of small images on the background. I was going for a grungier look on this card. I love using LOTS of inks, stamps and stencils for a complex mixed media card.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmTyyiOX-UlAnK3hgm4ArT8ahxOxJh14WjmF9LvBGeJuvXpMRWF5K8jfHI6e2kV8IhXvattKjIUyKtm4p7qi8ppN_RBIT99IoLGrOaUIejAk3s6loeJR2DnrMwjphJApr_8SCDv6sFlX2s/s2048/Multi+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Altenew Smile More stamp and die bundle" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmTyyiOX-UlAnK3hgm4ArT8ahxOxJh14WjmF9LvBGeJuvXpMRWF5K8jfHI6e2kV8IhXvattKjIUyKtm4p7qi8ppN_RBIT99IoLGrOaUIejAk3s6loeJR2DnrMwjphJApr_8SCDv6sFlX2s/w640-h640/Multi+2.jpg" title="Gelli Plate Birthday Card" width="640" /></a></div>Next, I used the <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fsmile%2Dmore%2Dstamp%2Ddie%2Dbundle&afftrack=">Smile More Bundle</a> to stamp and die cut the daisies.

I wanted lots of shelves on this card so I used the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/nesting-slim-rectangles-die-set">Nesting Slim Rectangle Dies</a> to make a slimline card. I then cut the bookshelves to make the four shelves. The Nesting Rectangles make it so easy to make a slimline card. The cut panel is 3 1/2" wide and 8 1/2” tall. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is a graphic of all the stamps included in the wonderul <a href="https://shrsl.com/2tn23">Tall Tale Stamp Set.</a> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2N99rMhewKdYH0pdyn_6shjdBvfJ_6wXF4m9Z5DNhSztSxbutGyoYksSNyMgAc-DSJb6jjpHXfdZhf6mXCFWPkrQkRFcmK4R4xTol07tE1auet2qSuLlA-LHwct1md1C5a6jOy8UgtGpW/s1635/Tall+Tale.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1635" data-original-width="867" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2N99rMhewKdYH0pdyn_6shjdBvfJ_6wXF4m9Z5DNhSztSxbutGyoYksSNyMgAc-DSJb6jjpHXfdZhf6mXCFWPkrQkRFcmK4R4xTol07tE1auet2qSuLlA-LHwct1md1C5a6jOy8UgtGpW/w213-h400/Tall+Tale.jpeg" width="213" /></a></div></div></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ink Blending on 3D Embossing </span></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUP4COQ5sN6St_2VeK4igqYGOUa3Kur2hnaIG7JAo8KBRbiWzSPhhn9mIeVRun9iysBnHYJL5FGXq1eWYC838fcAN9H-UxcX2O0OXzxIWEBjeZYHheX5CfKQdGIRGe7pWF-Mnn7IUYpV5G/s2048/Altenew+-+Majestic+Bloom+3D+-+Fancy+Celebrate+die+-+Warm+Sunshine+ink+-+New+Day+Enamel+Dots+-+Large+Blending+Tool+-+Small+Blending+Tool+.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img alt="Yellow ink blending on dry embossing." border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUP4COQ5sN6St_2VeK4igqYGOUa3Kur2hnaIG7JAo8KBRbiWzSPhhn9mIeVRun9iysBnHYJL5FGXq1eWYC838fcAN9H-UxcX2O0OXzxIWEBjeZYHheX5CfKQdGIRGe7pWF-Mnn7IUYpV5G/w400-h400/Altenew+-+Majestic+Bloom+3D+-+Fancy+Celebrate+die+-+Warm+Sunshine+ink+-+New+Day+Enamel+Dots+-+Large+Blending+Tool+-+Small+Blending+Tool+.jpg" title="3D Embossing with the Altenew Majestic Blooms folder" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For my second card, I used the <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888816&u=2561225&m=66850&urllink=altenew%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fmajestic%2Dbloom%2D3d%2Dembossing%2Dfolder&afftrack=">Majestic Blooms 3D Embossing Folder</a>.

For this card I wanted a coordinating background, so using my <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2py91 ">36 pan watercolors</a>, I painted pink (which I toned down with some green) on a watercolor panel and let dry. I then embossed the panel with the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2se6h "> Modern Squares 3D folder </a>, which gives beautiful dimension to your backdrop. This folder is one of my new “go to” backgrounds. I added some pink, purple and black spatters because I thought the panel looked too sweet. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig3CPqZa5ohGrJ4iC0_NBcOLaEpYI4P7b1qwgcLnico688dz_JcKel8t20CaRImF5bRgrYi6bSnF3JtnGJ5goncnZrMb9v6NlEWdAGjrQ_imhHAF3x8162Xz5lH38UX8NMVQ67rwBNIia5/s2048/Altenew+-+Alcohol+Markers+Set+F+-+Weekend+Doodles+-+Modern+Squares+3D+-+Best+Mom+-+Tea+Party+Enamel+Dots+-+36+Pan+Watercolors+-+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I am so excited to be participing in <a href=" https://shrsl.com/2oblb"> Altenew's</a> new release of 3D Embossing Folders, Dies, Stencils and Enamel Dots. I am showcasing several new products below so be sure to scroll down to see them all....I went a little crazy making cards! All of these products are now available in the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2oblb">Altenew Shop</a>.</p><p>I really like this first card. I took a piece of aqua cardstock and embossed using this fun new 3D embossing folder called <a href="https://shrsl.com/2se6h">Modern Squares</a>. I am also planning to use this embossing folder on backgrounds for some upcoming floral cards. I love the texture and interest it adds to a background.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRq5gqumUJ-6HrEk7YGUtzDdssBf6GR4Lz0LYeh_jGzBGkyFKzVCl6CPdXH7FWfda4njcsmYgChfnFei2fRbAVibLnFVxxK7obEYU0Rb2kOO6-0Y87ZelErwJgaTzn7ecmlibbh50VeBC/s2048/Altenew+-+Modern+Squares+3D+-+Fancy+Celebrate+die+-+Nesting+Slim+Rectangles+-+Large+Ink+Blending+Tool+-+angle.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Altenew Fancy Celebrate die with copper mirror cardstock" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRq5gqumUJ-6HrEk7YGUtzDdssBf6GR4Lz0LYeh_jGzBGkyFKzVCl6CPdXH7FWfda4njcsmYgChfnFei2fRbAVibLnFVxxK7obEYU0Rb2kOO6-0Y87ZelErwJgaTzn7ecmlibbh50VeBC/w640-h640/Altenew+-+Modern+Squares+3D+-+Fancy+Celebrate+die+-+Nesting+Slim+Rectangles+-+Large+Ink+Blending+Tool+-+angle.jpg" title="Altenew Modern Squares 3D embossing folder" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">I very gently used my </span><a href=" https://shrsl.com/2ndnj" style="text-align: left;"> Large Blending Tool</a><span style="text-align: left;"> to blend white pigment ink on the top of the raised diamonds.
