Lots of texture

 Lots of texture

It's time for Jen Rzasa Tuesday Texture take over #altenewchallengelive .  For my card I used Altenew Woodland path bundle which is an embossing folder and stencil set.  Embossing folders add texture all on their own, but with set it has a stencil set to add color.  Besides color there is stickles glitter glue, and ribbon for more texture...along with foam tape on the back of the panel for more added texture.  Also on this card there is a strip of cardstock with enamel dots, and a saying that is also popped up with foam tape.

My tag uses Altenew Painted jellyfish stamp/die set.  First the tag has blended ink on it, next pattern papers that I cut waves, and glued onto the tag.  Mounted jellyfish with foam mounting tape.  Stamped sayings with black ink, next added enamel dots, and stickles glitter glue for more texture, and of course, sparkle.

Thank you for stopping by.  Come back soon.

Another week another #altenewchallengelive challenge with Jen Rzasa from Altenew stamp company.  The challenge for this week is NO black in our cards/projects.  

stamps/dies used:  Altenew Painted Jellyfish stamp/die set, Enamel dots

If you know me you know I love a good fun fold, and like I've said before this is a good one.  It's a variation on a z-fold card, so I call it a z-fold with a twist.  Just to let you know I made this card because a friend sent me a birthday card in this style, thank you very much ... so ... I just had to go to pinterest and find instructions.

Here is a scan of my written instructions and a card template.

Again if you know me ... I couldn't stop at just making one or two cards. 

Here are three more cards with the theme no black using the Painted Jellyfish.  I do like this stamp set because a few years ago we visited the Mystic Aquarium where I saw a variety of Jellyfish.  I never knew they came in so many colors and sizes.

Thank you for stopping by.  Come back soon.

Jelly fishes

 Jelly Fishes

I fell in love with Jelly fish a couple of years ago when we visited Mystic Aquarium.

stamps/supplies used: Altenew Jelly fish stamp/die set, SU Big Whale stamp set, Waffle Flower postage die

For postage jelly fish card I used the stencil that fits this die cut to mask off the sections.  Next I stamped the jelly fish, and other images to fit in the masked off sections.  Remove the mask and reveal the fun postage card.

I made this postcard for my friend's birthday.  

This postcard is 6" x 4" and goes through the mail beautifully.

I wanted to show all the different colors of the jelly fish.  If you go to a aquarium you will see what I mean.  

Check the bright purple jelly fish we saw at the aquarium.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back soon.

Painted jellyfish

 Painted Jellyfish

stamp/dies used:  Altenew Painted jellyfish stamp/die set

I fell in love with jellyfish, when I visited the Mystic Aquarium a couple of years ago.

basic instructions:

For the jellyfish I used Catherine Pooler inks, which lately are my inks of choice.  This stamp set is a three step stamping technique.  I made a bunch of the jellyfish, so I now have a stash of them for future cards.  The jellyfish were mounted onto a die cut oval, then adhered to a herringbone background card.  The herringbone technique can be seen here in a page from my background sketchbook, which I started years ago.  If you click on the page in the post you will see I first did the herringbone technique back in 2010.  Here is a more recent post showing the herringbone technique.  If you would like to check out more just type herringbone in the search bar.  

Below are a couple more card samples with the painted jellyfish.

Above card has a strip of shaving cream background, which you can get more information on this post if you are interested.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back again soon.
