Stampin' Up Demos Fun Folds Blog Hop - June 2024

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday! It's the 4th Tuesday of the month and that means the June 2024 SU Fun Fold Blog Hop is today! I've been invited to join this fun hop, which features Fun/Fancy Fold projects created by a group of Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrators, and I'm honored to be joining in!

For my card today, I was directly inspired by Meg at Loven Stamps, with her Double the Fold, Double the Fun Card, and the tutorial can be found HERE.

I've used the new Latte Love Bundle along with the A Little Latte Designer Series Papers. There's a HUGE secret with this Designer Series Paper - there's a die included in the die set that cuts out the coffee cups from the paper, so making this card was especially quick and so easy!

AND....until the 30th of June, all Bundles are an extra 10% off. Bundles are always 10% off, so it's like you're getting 20% off the total price!

I've added a plain panel on the left side for a place to write my message. On the front side of the flap, the sentiment and one latte cup have been popped on dimensionals. If you're a Newbie at Fancy Folds, or just want to create something with WOW factor, this is a great one to create.

Following is the list of Blog Hop Stops. We invite you to hop through, there is loads of talent in this hop and I'm confident you'll be inspired by all the fun folds. Also, I've included a list of products used below, if you are interested in purchasing, you can find me at the Stampin' Up shop by searching for a Demonstrator and entering Donna Walls / #2302441. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Hopping!

Altenew: A Year In Review: Crafters’ Edition Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway

Hello Crafty Friends! I'm thrilled to be a stop along the Altenew " A Year in Review: Crafters' Edition Blog Hop #2" this year! This Hop contains some gorgeous inspiration and it's been a pleasure creating with some of my favorite Altenew projects in 2022. So let's see what a few of my favorite projects were this year!

Card #1: Using the "Blooming Through the Seasons" 3-D embossing folder, which was part of the Seasonal Blooms Craft Your Life Project Kit, I created an easy card that packs a punch! After the panel was embossed, I blended white pigment ink over top and splattered with white ink.

Card #2: I love Blue and Yellow together and this card turned out better than expected. Using the "Greenwood Flowers 3 in 1 Layering Stencil Set" I ink blended gorgeous shades of blues, greens and yellows. The florals and leaves are large so they were easy to fussy cut too. The background panel was embossed with the Altenew "Row of Squares" 3-D Embossing folder and belnded over with yellow ink.

Card #3: This larger than life floral is part of the "Feathered Lilies Craft Your Life Project Kit". My card meaures 5x7" so you see the scale of this gorgeous lily. To create this effect, I stamped the image on the cardbase and again on a large Altenew "Nesting Slim Label Die", only coloring the stamped image on the die cut. Popping the die cut on craft foam, the dimension along with the color make it a unique design.

Card #4: Altenew has the prettiest (and easiest to use) 3-D layering Die Sets. This is the Craft-A-Flower Peruvian Layering Lily and I gave it sparkle by cutting 2 of the layers from white and gold glitter card. Only 4 layers are required for this floral and it's a stunner!

Card #5: Christmas is almost upon us so I must share this quick and easy holiday card using the Altenew Festive Silhouettes Stamp Set. I blended a card panel with shades of green inks, heat embossed the image and sentiment with fine detail gold embossing powder and splattered with gold paint. I matted the panel with gold mirro card to give it that extra holiday sparkle and shine. This would be a great card to mass produce.

Altenew Blossoming Creativity Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes)

Hi Crafty Friends and Happy Friday! I've got a post today that's jammed packed full of crafty goodness! I'm honored to be invited as a stop on the Altenew "Blossoming Creativity" Blog Hop, so let's get started!

My projects today feature sets from the Just Imagine Stamps, Dies, Embossing Folders and More Release found HERE.

Card #1 was created using the Cherry Blossoms Bunch Complete Bundle. This bundle includes the stamp set, coordinating dies and 2 piece stencils for easy coloring. I've used shades of pinks for the florals and did a ghost stamp on the background panel using Altenew Silver Lake Crisp Die Ink.

Card #2 features the Bloom With Grace complete Bundle. I've colored the image with Alcohol Markers, embossed a panel using the Altenew Rows of Squares 3-D embossing folder (after embossing, I cut the panel at an angle so the squares would appear as diamonds) then accented with a strip of gold mirror card and black twine.

Card #3 showcases the new Triangle Madness Die Set and Versatile Greetings Hot Foil Plate Set with matching Dies. I love Geometric shapes for masculine cards and this card was a quick and fun make using colored card scraps.

Card #4 appears difficult to create but it's as simple as blending a panel and cutting the cover die. I've been experiementing with non-traditional holiday colors this year and I loved how these colors complimented each other. I've used the Geo Tiles Cover Die, Holiday Greetings Hot Foil Plate Set and Coordinating Die Set. Wow, I love Hot Foiling and Splattering!

Card #5 features a more traditional holiday color palette. It was a quick make and the candy cane syled background was so easy to create using the Altenew Stripe Builder Stencil. I've also used the Essentials Alpha Complete Project Bundle, which consists of the foiling plates, dies and stencil set.

Card #6 features the lovely Swallowtail Butterfly Layering Die Set. This set gives you 3 different styles of Butterfly. I loved dimension on cards and this Butterfly has it. I've also used the Essentials Alpha Complete Project Bundle for the word cut.

Giveaway Prizes: $300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 11/03/2022 for a chance to win.
