Altenew June 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop
Hi Everyone!! Welcome to the blog and to the Altenew June Release blog hop! If you’re coming from Zinia Redo’s Blog then you’re in the right place!
Altenew has some amazing new stamps and dies in their June release, I chose the Leaf Canopy stamps and coordinating dies along with the Pinstripe background stamp to create my card.
I thought the pinstripes would be awesome as a ghost image on my card background. This is an easy technique, I stamped the Pinstripes first with Simon Says Stamp white pigment ink on white cardstock. After the white ink was dry, I stamped the leaves over top which reveal the ghost image beneath.
I used Simon Says Stamp inks in Lake Shores, Fog and Smoke for the larger set of leaves. Then I silver embossed the smaller set of leaves and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I popped it up with a bit of foam tape and added a white embossed message stamped on Slate cardstock.
I have filmed a video of how I created this card which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
Are you ready to continue on the Hop? The next stop is to my ever so talented friend DEBBY HUGHES. Enjoy!!
I hope you enjoy all the inspiration as you hop along!!

Hi Shari,

Take care

really love the leaf canopy set and how you used them!
I love this card! Fabulous color combo and I love the way you used the pinstripes.
Love the pinstripes.
Something different and pretty.
Popping some leaves off the
background and over the stamping
was a wonderful idea. The
muted colors are great.
thanks for sharing

love the soft colors with a touch of silver always a great way to bring in some bling
That is so pretty. I am loving the style of that second card.
That is a fun technique and also made me think how perfect those leaves would be for the “kissing” technique. I love the aqua/turquoise with the grays. Great combo. Thanks so much. I always enjoy and appreciate your videos.
Love the colors and ghost stamping technique.
Very elegant and beautiful card. Love the stamp set and the ghosting technique looks really fabulous!
Love the pinstripe background and the colors
Love, Love, Love the silver embossing. Teal and silver go so well together. I would do my whole house in these colors if my husband would let me. hahahaha
That is so so pretty – the colours are just gorgeous!
The colors for Leaf Canopy are just beautiful on your card!
Absolutely gorgeous. LOVE the color combo.
Gorgeous card! Love the colors.
So pretty! Reminds me of dusty miller flowers.
OH, my gosh – love how you used this leaf canopy set – such a clever use of the pinstripe bg too!!! Thanks!
Such a simple card but stunning nonetheless.
I would have never thought of the pinstripe. It makes the leaves so interesting. I love this card!
Beautiful card! I love these colors together and how you made the ghost background!
What an elegant card Shari. So beautiful.
Love this card! Such a fun technique. The colors you chose are beautiful and I love that stamp too!
Lovely release, and I think the Pinstripes background looks great on almost every card.
Beautiful card, Shari! Love the colors you used over the white pinstripe background.
What a great idea to provide such interest to the leaves with the ghost stamping of the Pinstrips background stamp! Gorgeous card!
Love this card, just plain pretty! I do have something else to add, I love blog hops, but when they are SO LONG, you have to click on each individual person, wait for their website to come up, etc. Is there a way that you could show all the projects made on one site and then have links to the projects in case someone wants to watch the video, get more info., view projects used? As much as I would love to, I just don’t have the time to go to each and everyones post. Just a thought, Make it a Great Day!
Very pretty. I like the colors and the pin stripes.
Love the look of
the pinstripes
on the page with
the leaves over
it, very pretty.
