Tattered Lace world launch - DT Samples

I have 3 cards to share today using the World Launch from Tattered Lace dies which is set to launch on Create and Craft TV tonight at 7pm as part of their world wide week event.

First up is a shaker card using the If wishes were kisses die set. I cut the boy and girl in black card and added them behind a pink heart apperture.

Next we have a cute card featuring the sweet little boy and girl, I opted for a muted pallet and simple design using one of the Lace edge essential dies.

In this final card I used all 3 of  the die sets I was sent, I love how the Lace edge and beaded chains circles can work perfectly together.

The nesting dies are a fantastic addition to my collection and the cute little boy and girls are so adorable.

I have added links for each product below.

For the guys - Altenew Educator Certification Program

Morning everyone

I'm sharing a card I made recently whilst participating in the Altenew Educator Certification Program.

I used Altenews cube builder stencil to create the geometric background,it's perfect for the men in your life. I added my sentiment using the Bold Alphabet dies and the best dad stamp set. The stars were stamped using the Trophy life stamp set.

I love the bold black against the green tones. I am so glad I added this stencil and dies set to my stash.

Here's links to the products I used

Anniversary card - Altenew Educator certification program challenge

I am so excited to be sharing this project with you, this card is my final one for the Level 1 Altenew educators certification program. After taking all 10 classes and submitting my work I was asked to make an Anniversary/love/wedding card skils things I have learnt from 3 of the classes.

Choosing which three was to use was a little tricky as I learnt so much and in a way I think my card combines elements from several classes.

I was inspired by the All about layering 1 and 2 classes and wanted to use layered floral images so choose to use the Vintage rose stamps and dies. 

I used the following colours for my flowers; Blush, Peach perfect, Rouge and Caramel toffee.

I loved the Easy die cutting class and some of the things I learnt, so my leaves were die cut from vellum and then heated embossed using Golden Peach embossing powder.

In the Clean and Simple Boutique cards class I learnt about the use of white space and adding foiling or metallic elements to projects, adding embossing powder to the leaves creates a metallic effect, the shine is stunning yet subtle.

I have had a blast and learnt so much form some very talented designers/tutors.

I hope this card gets me a pass and I can progress on to level 2.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have liked this project.

Easy Die cutting techniques - Altenew Educator Certification Program

Good morning everyone, today I am sharing a clean and simple stamped and die cut card.

I created my card using Altenews Vintage teacup stamp and die set. I was inspired by the Altenew class Easy die cutting techniques. I think sometimes it's easy to get caught up in trying out the next new technique and to forget about how we can make clean simple cards using the set we have in our stash.

I stamped my tea cup and saucer onto some Solar crest card and used Altenews Artist markers to colour the image.  I added the polka dot detail using the stamp in the set along with Lavender fields ink set.

I added the steam image in grey and my sentiment in black.

I think letting the imagery speak for itself makes this card beautiful
