Joy Ormanments!

Happy Friday crafty friends! I had such fun playing with the new Mama Elephant Joy Ornaments and some new Altenew Washi tape!

My inspiration for this project came from the gorgeous Altenew washi tape! When I picked them up, I placed a bunch of them on card bases because I was just anxious to see what they looked like! So for this one, I decided to break out my Mama Elephant Joy Ornaments (I love this stamp set).

I stamped my ornaments on a piece of Neena 80lbs cardstock and used red Copics that had a pink base to work with the Washi shades - R59, R39, R37, R35 and R32.  Once that was complete, I die cut another piece of Neena using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Border Die and cut the excess with my paper trimmer.  I placed my "joy" to see where to stamp and emboss my snowflakes. Once my embossing was complete, I mounted my white panel on the card base with fun foam. 

I then stamped and embossed the ornament string and topped the ornament with a silver topper using Simon Says stamp silver glitter paper.  I added some white gel pen detail and my secondary sentiment on the bottom of the ornament. I then scattered some Pretty Pink Posh silver sequins.

Thanks for taking the time, all the products are listed and linked below!

Altenew Washi

Happy Monday! I hope you had an Easter weekend filled with family and friends! I love the Easter long-weekend four days to re-charge and re-connect. Also, lots of time set aside in my craft room! 

I picked-up the new Altenew washi tapes last week and let me tell you they have my little heart! We celebrated one of my cousin's birthdays over the weekend and I had to use one of the washi's on it.

The starting point was obviously the washi, and I love that this role has color options. I didn't get further than the blue and pink option, not sure if there are more but such a great idea. I knew I wanted  the tape on the bottom, so I took my card base and placed the washi. 

I then stamped my Altenew Painted flowers (probably my favourite set by them) in some Catherine Pooler inks, It's a Boy and Something Borrowed to match the blue on the tape. I die cut the flowers and took another piece of Neena Solar White 80lbs, sized the frame and used a Lawn Fawn Stitched Border die.

I am thrilled that more companies are releasing great French sentiment die cuts (my entire family is French-speaking) I die cut the Bonne Fete from a StickIt, Fun foam and gold card stock sandwich. I placed my flowers around the sentiment to make sure I liked the placement and then glued everything down. I finished off with some new Studio Katia iridescent sequins and some Nuvo Glitter pen on the flowers.

Thanks so much for taking the time!
