Orange Blossom Christmas Card

Hi Everyone, I would like to share a Christmas card with you using the Altenew Orange Blossom Die Set.

I followed the Freshly Made Sketches #666 sketch and create my Christmas card. When I saw the sketch I just knew I wanted to use the Altenew Orange Blossom Die Set. You might be thinking, why oranges for a Christmas card? My clever husband pointed out, but we use oranges in our Turkey stuffing, so it is perfect for a Christmas card LOL.

Techniques I used:

Die-cut green cardstock using the Couture Creations Deck The Hall Happy Holidays Tall Card Die Set.
Die-cut green cardstock using the Altenew Leafy Garland Die.
Die-cut white cardstock using the Altenew Orange Blossom Die Set.
Colour die-cuts using the Altenew Sun-Kissed Delight Fresh Dye Inks.
Die-cut gold cardstock using the Altenew Merry Christmas Die.

To finish I added some sequins.

Butterfly Card - The Paper Shelter Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, this week and next, rather than running our usual Blog Hop, the Design team at The Paper Shelter is honouring our beautiful co-founder Veronica, who tragically left us on September, 25th 2024.

Veronica was a kind, supportive, beautiful soul, who alongside her co-founder Pedro, produced the images we all know and love to create with. There is a vacuum in the world today, where Veronica used to be, and we will miss her terribly.

Now here is my card

using Armour Art Digital Coloring Book

I used the butterfly, because it symbolize rebirth, hope and love.

Techniques I used:

I coloured the butterfly Armour Art Digital Coloring Book image using Copic Sketch Markers.
Embossed jade cardstock using the Altenew Ribbon Waves 3D Embossing Folder.
Ink blend the corners using the Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink.
Stamp Altenew Lovely Rose Peony Sentiment Stamp with Embossing Ink and heat emboss with Altenew Gold Crisp Embossing Powder.
Die-cut with co-ordinating Altenew Lovely Rose Peony Die.

To finish I added some splatters using the Altenew Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set and some sequins.

Our winner for our TRIBUTE challenge will win 6 Paper Shelter products of your choice if you have used a Paper Shelter product on your entry, or 3 Paper Shelter products of your choice if you have used another brand. You can enter the challenge up to 3 times, provided you have use a Paper Shelter product on at least one of them.

Make sure you go over to The Paper Shelter Shop and take a look at all the beautiful digital stamps.
