Altenew April 2019 Washi Tape and Embossing Paste Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Altenew April 2019 Washi Tape/Embossing Paste Release Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog and our Altenew April 2019 Washi Tape and Embossing Paste Release Blog Hop. You might have come here from Hussena. And now it's my turn to inspire you with two cards and a scrapbook page that I created with three of the beautiful washi tapes from this release.

Project 1 | Scrapbook Layout

I love the gold foil effect on this washi tape. I used the washi tape and a 'hello' die to create the layout title.

For all projects, I adhered washi tape onto white cardstock. Then I die-cut and/or fussy-cut the embellishments with a die-cutting machine or a pair of scissors.

Project 2 | 'Hello' Card

Project 3 | 'Be Happy' Card

Crate Paper | How to Make Pretty Paper Flowers | Tutorial

Welcome to my blog today and a fun tutorial how to make pretty paper flowers. The flowers are really effortless to make and they look really pretty.

First, grab cardstock in pretty colors. Second, punch circles to create petal layers. I made three petal layers (bottom: 5 circles, middle: 4 circles, top: 3 circle + a center).

Third, cut the circles halfway with a pair of scissors as shown in the photo below.

Fourth, glue each petal with a glue gun as shown in the photo below.

Fifth, create petal layers (remember the layers: 5-4-3) and glue all petals together with a glue gun. Sixth, cut a center (from glitter cardstock or gold paper). Attach the center with a glue gun. You can also create centers with fringe scissors. Just cut a strip of paper. Then cut fringes. And glue the center onto the top petal layer.

Seventh, cut some leaves from green cardstock. And then you're done :).

Thank you for stopping by on my blog today. I hope you like my pretty paper flowers tutorial. Have a wonderful day, yours Sandra.

Project 1 | Shaker Card

I attached acetate underneath the stamped wreath and then added sequins and foam pads to make the shaker window. In addition, I added a stitched border onto the card with my sewing machine.

Video Tutorial Scrapbook Layout | Youtube

A new video tutorial is up on my Youtube channel. I recorded this tutorial two years ago for an online-class. Since the class is no longer available, I thought it would be a great idea to share this process video with you. Please have a look at the project photos below. And make sure to watch the video on my channel :).

The embellishments I used were from a Pinkfreshstudio kit that is no longer available. However, you might find embellishments in your stash to create a layout like this. Furthermore, the background technique can be done with other dies too.

The video can be found here (please click on the preview below):
