Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Clematis Josephine Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW PAINT-A-FLOWER:CLEMATIS JOSEPHINE RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Altenew Card Blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this page for your convenience.

The new PAF-CLEMATIS JOSEPHINE Outline Stamp set is gorgeous, very detailed and elegant. Though I love memory keeping, I made a card!

I used Artist markers to color each of the details of the PAF- CLEMATIS JOSEPHINE. I chose to color each flower in the bouquet with a different color. Then, I fussy cut the image to create my card panel.

I used the Feeling Dotty Stencil to create the background of the card panel. The sentiment comes from the PAF: CLEMATIS JOSEPHINE, and I added it at the bottom of the card panel.

A bit of foam adhesive was used to attach the bouquet to the card panel. A few gems complete the card! Just love the colors and details in the card.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Torch Ginger Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi there!
Welcome to the ALTENEW BUILD-A-FLOWER: TORCH GINGER RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Altenew Card Blog ( a list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post).

This month's BAF: TORCH GINGER is a great addition to the family. The stamp is detailed, and easy to layer, so you will be creating lots of these flowers in a short amount of time. The size of the image is perfect for memory keeping, so i used it to create a 12x12 layout:

I used inks from the Red Cosmos and Tea Party Mini Ink cube set to create the flowers for the page, and Green Meadow Ink set to stamp the images. However, i chose to skip the first (full image of the flower)after stamping the outline with Obsidian ink, so that i can get a softer image of the flower.

After stamping and die cutting all the flowers. I used theCreative Edges: Lace die set to cut a few decorative strips of paper, and also added a bit of color to the background using the Wavy Grid stencil and Jet Black ink.

Though the strips of paper anchor the page, the small marker (Artist Marker set E) lines at the bottom of the page help to ground the flowers to the layout. These are so easy to cluster using a bit of foam adhesive between them. The following video will show you how the page came together:

Just love how easy this came together...

I am sure you all are ready for the fun part of this blog hop: GIVEAWAY time

EVERYDAY DOCUMENTING - Citrus Twist Kits

Hi there!
It is the start of a new month, which means lots of new goodies to play with have just been revealed. I am madly in love with this month's Citrus Twist Kits Best of This Life kits and stamps. So, i pulled some pieces together to create a few layouts in my family album (also from Citrus Twist Kits).

For this entry, i enlarge the picture to fit the entire page of the album, then added a small cluster of ephemera from Pinkfresh Studio Out and About collection -included in the add-on kit- at the top corner of the picture followed by a few stamping sentiments using the Traveler's Notebook stamp set

For the other side of the page, I chose the Life Crafted Pocket Page configuration 2 and added my lines of journal to one of the Bonus Subscriber card. Then backed the picture with another one of the cards and added more ephemera from the Out and About collection included in the add on kit.

I used the b side of the pocket page to create a new entry for my album. First i pulled some of the Best of This Life kit's PL cards and backed the picture of with it, and added some lines of journal to the other one.

I brought some ephemera from the Add-on kit -i chose red pieces to bring the colors from the pictures onto this page-. One of the cut apart labels were then used to cover the title in the card, and chose to add some stamping instead using the This is Life"Chasing Curiosities" and a few stickers from the add on kit.

For this page, i cut one of the Best of This Life kit papers (love a good grid paper) and added the pictures of my son on his work/vacation trip to a soccer tournament in New Jersey. I used the large ephemera piece from the Out and About collection to add the title to the center of the page, and then added a small star sticker at the bottom corner of the page -as stars were the image that repeated on all three cards-.

I hope you stop by Citrus Twist Kits to check all the materials used here. Trust me this little album and the amazing Best of This Life kits will transform the way you document your everyday ( who knew pocket pages could be so fun!) as always please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions,

XO

Technique Tuesday June Release Blog Hop

Hello there!

Welcome to the Technique Tuesday June 2019 Release Blog Hop. You must be arriving from - a list of all the participants has been added at the bottom of this post for your convenience. It is always a fun day when you get to play with stamps, and this month's Laugh and Smile Stamp Set is one that will be a staple in my documenting.

The rectangular shape of the sentiments in the stamp set were the catalyst for the idea of building a tile background for this page.

I chose to use different tones of blue Distress Oxides to build the background ( Tumbled Glass, Blueprint sketch, Faded Jeans, and Chipped Zapphire)and loved the different sizes in the sentiment tiles of the Laugh and Smile Stamp set. To complete the page and the sentiments of the tiles, i simply spelled the word "SMILE" with gold foam stickers.

To complete my page, i chose to add the picture to a paper from the Pinkfresh Studio Simple and Sweet collection, and decided to build a subtitle for the page by using the Layered Smile Crafting Dies and metallic Kraft paper from Tim Holtz' Idea-o-logy collection.

To continue the tile look of the layout, i added a few word embellishments that had the same shape and small gold accents. A few lines of journal and the gold ink splatters complete this page.

I love how easy this came together, and the graphic look of the layout. The following video will show you how the layout came together using the new stamp and dies:

Remember to check Technique Tuesday for the new releases, and check the Laugh & Smile stamp set and the coordinating Layered Smile Crafting Dies and Layered Laugh Crafting dies, they will sure be a staple on your collection. If you have questions on how this came together, please do not hesitate to contact me.
