Cardmaking video

This is it! I’ve finally made my first cardmaking video! I’ve used the Stampwheel, some stencils, various inks and the Paper Pouncers. This video is made as part of a collaboration between Altenew and Picket Fence Studios (these and all links to follow are affiliate links). It is a video hop with various prizes, so please visit YouTube HERE to take part in the hop and see all the details about the Giveaway!

This was so much fun. I used the Paper Pouncers Bright Rainbow and Paper Pouncers White to apply the ink through the stencils. They are perfect for getting all those little details showing. I used some new inks I bought at the weekend on the Swamp Buttercup stencils I bought this spring. Several layers of the Oversized Hello die in white made worked really well on top, I thought. Below you can see the video of the cardmaking process:

For the Stampwhel itself, please visit Picket Fence Studios here or Altenew here.

For this collaboration I have been gifted a Stampwheel to try, and various Picket Fence Studios products as part of my design team spot at PFS. The remaining Altenew products are my own purchases. All products used to showcase the Stampwheel are my own choices.

PFS Million Little Things

I’ve had fun coloring up one of the new Picket Fence Studios stamps. The lovely flowers are from the Million Little Things stamp set. I opted for soft shades on the flowers to really show how different it can look when you take away those black lines. It also gives the card such a delicate look. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I’ve used a few pretties from the Banana Daquiri sequin mix.

There is a great sale going on, ending tonight (Monday 29th). Have you seen it? 20%, gifts with purchase AND the rainbow coloured Paper Pouncers are back in stock. Does it get any better than that? You can read all about it on their homepage.

I have gotten to play with some of the new images and here is the first card I want to show you. I have used my Prismacolor Pencils on kraft paper to colour up the gorgeous flower on the Life is Good set and then used parts of the Hello Lovely sentiment stamp to go with. The whole collection is great really and I can’t wait to show more cards!

Slimline flowers

I’ve finally finished the card I made with the Pinkfresh Studio flowers I coloured up with my Prismacolor pencils for my video back in August: see it here. I’ve drawn a border around the coloured panel and stamped a birthday greeting from Papertrey Ink. A few sequins and then some die cut butterflies from La-La Land Crafts made up the rest of the card.

Saying hi with flowers

I’ve coloured up one of Emily Midgett’s colouring panels. A dash of yellow for the flowers and a bright yellow background. The only decorations are a few transparent sequins and a die cut sentiment. The sentiment is actually the hello die by Altenew (aff.link) which I cut into a Norwegian equivalent. I admit it worked a lot better than I had thought and it doesn’t look like it’s been cut, I think. Love it when you can use a die like that!
