Today’s card to celebrate the Altenew is, I made a watercolour floral card with old goodies – Rose Flurries 3D & Leafy Wreath die. An oldie but a goodie, right?!!

I die cut all pieces from watercolour paper using Rose Flurries 3D set and assembled them together using glue pen. I also die cut Leafy Wreath from watercolour paper. I dry embossed the background using Organic Linen 3D embossing folder, mounted the background panel onto A2 sized card base first, adhered flower & leaves on the card front using foam tape, then loosely watercoloured them with Distress inks. For the “Big Hugs” sentiments, I used it in the Blossom of Life die set.

SSS STAMPtember® 2023 Blog Party!!

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends, happy STAMPtember 2023!
Can you believe fall is already everywhere (not in Australia, though)? As many of you already know, September is the best month for cardmaking and even we have the month-long STAMPtember festival! Today we have a huge STAMPtember Party with lots and lots of super talented card makers. I am SO SUPER excited and honoured to be a part of this awesome party. YAY!!

I made a couple of butterfly cards for this amazing party today! I used brand new Layered Cosmic Butterfly die, Intersection Lines Background stamp and Cue the Confetti stamp set.

For my first card, I made a butterfly birthday card. For the background panel, I heat embossed Intersection Lines Background on watercolour paper panel with white embossing powder, lightly applied some pale coloured distress inks (Tattered Rose, Antique Linen, Tea Dye). For the butterflies, I die cut two butterfly sets from white cardstock using the Layered Cosmic Butterfly die, blended them with warm coloured Pawsitively Saturated inks as below:
Pink butterfly: Rose & Sherbet / Purple butterfly: Citrine & Amethyst.
For the sentiment, I used the Cue the Confetti stamp set.




Here is another butterfly card with the Layered Cosmic Butterfly die.

I simply die cut all elements, butterflies and tiny flowers, from white & coloured cardstock and arranged them on A2 sized white card using foam tape. It’s so easy to make, right? :)
