Thanks for Your Kindness

Edited on 9/18/2021

I’m thrilled that this card was chosen as a Top 3 Winner by Alphabet Challenge- K is for Kindness in Your Sentiment. Thanks, DTs.

Hi Artsy Friends,

I quickly made this card,  a homework of Altenew Academy’s online class – The Magic of 3D Embossing Folders, Lesson Five.  I did some extra work, to stamp the Grid Background stamp on the embossing folder first before placing the cardstock, to enrich the visual effect. 

Hope it’s eye-pleasing to you. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day. 

Card Detail

Grid Background stamp is by Hero Arts. Embossing folder and sentiment stamps are by Altenew.

I’m excited that this card was chosen as an Honorable Mention by the Rainbow Challenge #32 as well as PIP Challenge #2134. What a coincidence! Thanks, DTs.  

Hi Artsy Friends,

What a fun idea to combine Masking with Embossing Folder! I quickly made this card, inspired by Altenew Academy’s online class – The Magic of 3D Embossing Folders, Lesson One. 

Hope it’s eye-pleasing to you. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Embossing folder, sentiment die cut and sentiment stamp are by Altenew. The sentiment die cut, covered by Wink of Stella, is shimmering and beautiful. It’s a shame that the photo did not do it justice.

Thanks for All You Do – Foiling with Stencil and Paste

Edited on 9/18/2021

I’m thrilled that this card was chosen as a Winner by STAMPlorations August Summer Challenge and a Rising Star by A Place to Start Challenge #8 - What’s Your Style. What an honor!  Thanks, DTs.

Hi Artsy Friend,

It’s time to play along with Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge again. The August Challenge Theme remains to be Anything Goes.  For Challenge Rules and other DT’s inspirations, please check out the Challenge Blog. Please join us for the fun. I can’t wait to see what you have come up with.     

This month I challenged myself to play foiling with stencil and paste for the very first time. I’ve wanted to try this technique for quite a while.  I’m so glad I finally gave it a try. Somehow the leaf was not fully covered by foil. What a pity, but it looks organic. Ha! 

Hope my card is inspirational to you. Thanks for stopping by and have a pleasant day. 

Card details

1. Apply various Distress Oxide Inks (Tim Holtz, Ranger) over flower stencil (Simon Says Stamp) on a white card panel.

2. Apply Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo over Leaf stencil (Simon Says Stamp) and let completely dry.

3. Place a piece of green foil (Ranger) over leaf image which has been covered by transfer gel. Run through die cut machine and get foil leaf image.

4. Die cut the panel with Wonky Stitched Rectangle (My Favorite Things).

5. Stamp sentiment (Simon Says Stamp) in white on a black card scrap and heat emboss (Wow Embossing Powder).

6. Adhere some sequins and assemble the card as shown.

• Use Your Stuff Challenge #428 - Inspired by Real Life     

I was so inspired by Simon Says Stamp’s 5 Ways in 5 Days FREE Crafty Series: DAY 5: Foiling that I had to dig out my foil (for the first time)! Besides, I love flowers and leaves in real life. They constantly inspire me to make all kinds of cards.

• A Place to Start Challenge #8 – What’s Your Style     

My style is to incorporate several techniques (e.g. Foiling with Stencil and Paste, Heat Embossing, Distress Oxide Inks Blending and die cutting in this card) while keeping it simple and feminine.

So Happy for You - Monochromatic Shaker Card

Edited on 8/15/2021

I can’t believe this card was chosen as Top 3 by Cards 4 Galz Challenge #152 and Gem of a Challenge #16. It was also chosen as an Honorable Mention by PIP Challenge #2131. It is indeed triple excitement.

Hi Artsy Friends,

Following my previous card, I was informed that another subordinate in the same department is about to deliver a baby boy! How great! In order to be fair, I decided to make another baby card for her. But I don’t like to make identical cards so I made a shaker card instead. I like both cards and have equal blessings to them. Hope they think I’m fair. Ha! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Embossing Folder is by Sizzix. Die cut is by Reverse Confetti. Sentiment is by Hero Arts.
