My Cluttered Corner

The Altenew September release includes stamps, dies, stencils, foil plates and more!

I was so excited to be able to guest design this month and could not stop creating with this stunning release!

Whether you love stars, flower mosaics or gems, there is tons in this release to keep you busy!

I love the idea of being able to color this Flower Shine foiled background in with enamel elements,

or a stencil,

or just die cut them!

Gems and geometric designs are some of my favorites and I have to say the Altenew sentiments are so thoughtful and heartfelt.

Check out all the products I worked with, all these cards AND enter the big giveaway on my video:

You can also see the supplies I used down below. Thanks for stopping by!

Trinity Stamps sent me their new cardmaking sketchbook, Sketch Plan & Create to try out!

The sketchbook is super thick and sturdy and just plain pretty!

There are sections for A2, A7, Mini Slimline and Slimline cards as well as an open section for other designs. There is also a template that can be used to create different shapes on the sketches.

Each section includes horizontal and vertical designs with grid lines.

There is also a place to indicate a color palette and the date of the sketch.

This will be a great place to plan all sorts of cards and be able to look back on sketches and repeat designs!

I am sharing a look at the Sketchbook and my process on using it to make a couple of cards in this video:

I've linked to the Sketchbook below. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to the Hero Arts Holiday Catalog Release Blog Hop!

I fell in love with the new Leaves and Dots Hot Foil Plate so I used it on all three of my cards. First to make an ornament.

Then for a background for my candy canes!

And then for a placce for my snowman to peek out from behind! You can see the new supplies I worked with and how I made these cards in this video:
