Peruvian Lily

 

 

 Altenew is giving a $50 gift certificate to the  
 Winner of Die Cut Divas April Challenge

Established in April 2014, Altenew has quickly become a leader in the inspiration industry and continues to innovate and influence the world of paper crafts. Altenew strives to encourage crafters to express their own unique creativity through the art of paper crafting.

The Challenge for this month is Flowers.

 

Here is my project- 

I loved working with this die set-nice large flowers, excellent directions for assembly! I used scraps for every bit of the flowers. Some of the paper was lightly patterned, which added some interest. What is really nice is I could have made this with any sentiment, such as wedding, sympathy, birthday, etc. Here is a list of materials I used-

1. Dies: flowers (Peruvian Lily by Altenew).
2. Betterpress: sentiment (Always & Forever by Spellbinders).
3. Other: all paper is scraps from my stash.

Make sure you enter your floral projects for a chance at that $50 gift voucher!

Another new acquisition for me from Sunny Studios is Party Pups stamp & die set! There are more dog choices, and lots of cute dog themed birthday sentiments. The only other product I used was Wood Floor by Penny Black. The papers I used were out of my scrap stash.

Here is my project-

I just had to buy the Turkey Day stamp set & dies from Sunny Studios-I didn't have a turkey stamp anywhere in my collection! If I get started now I might be done by September. I colored the turkey and accessories with Copics, and used the Lawn Fawn Meadow Backdrop and Impression Obsession Clouds dies for my scene.

What would you buy with that gift voucher?

What challenge do we have for you today?

We're making Shaker Cards, so let's shake it up!
Remember to limit your entries to 4.

 

Here is my project-

 

 

We have a lovely lady in our water aerobics class who loves butterflies, and the color blue. So I made this shaker card for her! I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts, then arranged the butterfly dies. Die cut, then stamped the card through the die cuts with the first layer of the butterfly. Finished stamping the butterflies with the extra layers, then used the foam tape, beads, and added the birthday sentiment. 

 

Here is the material list-
 

1. Dies: Layered Butterflies (Hero Arts-retired, but this would work beautifully!).
2. Stamps: Thinking of you (Hero Arts-retired, but available here), "on your birthday" (Blessings Stamp & Cut by Hero Arts)
3. Inks: Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers (Distress Oxides), Versafine Black Onyx ink,

 I love dogs. This Scottish Terrier from Whimsy Stamps is so adorable-and a great way to learn Copic coloring on! I always struggle with animal coats, so hopefully I'll get better at them.

and the gold splatters-

Really, a very simple card. The Whimsy Stamps "Hey, Ostrich" were colored with Copics, and arranged on an ink blended background. I used the Distress Oxides Antique Linen, Bundled Sage, and Stormy Sky, then splattered the Cloud Nine/Lisa Horton Gold Interference ink on it. The sentiment is from The Rabbit Hole called Sassy Sentiments. I love some good sass!
