Altenew March 2022 Folktales & StoriesCollection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Hi! Hope you are enjoying this blog hop. You must have reached here from the blog of the super talented Virginia Lu! I am so excited by this release! You can find the entire release here.

Card #1:

I am a huge fan of background stamps. So the first set I grabbed was the Geometric Botany stamp set.

I stamped the background in a light color. And then used the small stamps to fill in the design. Though it took some time to do this, I was very happy with the final result. I die-cut the panel and adhered it to a red card base over a black mat. The sentiment is from the Garden Rose stamp set. To finish I added some tiny red gems from my stash. Here is another look at the card.

Card #2:

I saved part the panel I created with the Geometric Botany stamp set. I combined it with the Rosy Blooms stamp and die set for the next card.

I ran a piece of brown card stock through the Decked Planks 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a white card base. I added the stamped panel over it. I first stamped the image from the Rosy Blooms stamp set with yellow ink and used the Artist Alcohol Markers to color it in. After the coloring, I re-stamped the image with embossing ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.

Card #3:

I really fell in love the with the cute cats from the Cat Life stamp set.

I stamped and die cut the images and adhered them to a pink card base. The water colored circle die-cut is from my stash. After I had assembled the card, I felt it looked a bit unfinished. So I used the dot stencil from the Playful Patterns stencil set to add some more detail. Here is a closeup of the kitty.

Here is another look at the completed card.

Bookmarks:

I love reading. And I love using bookmarks. So the Botanical Bookmark stamp and die set is already one of my favorites!

I simply mounted the stamps on a stamp positioner and created three bookmarks. I just changed up the colors. In one I used copper embossing powder instead of inks for a layer.
