Hey guys!
I'm so happy and excited to be a part of the Altenew, Artist Marker Refills blog hop!
Welcome to my stop on the hop. I'm so glad you're here! You should've arrived here from my wonderful, sweet and talented friend, Virginia's blog. If you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, click here to be taken to the Altenew blog.
Let's take care of some business first and then I'll share my cards with you.

Wait - that's not all! Altenew is generously letting me give away a $20 gift certificate too! To enter to win, just leave a comment below and I will randomly choose a winner from all the comments and announce that winner here on my blog on September 26, 2018.
And to celebrate this blog hop even more, Altenew is running a marker sale! Save 15% off on All Artist Markers from 9/20/2018 at 12:01 EDT until 9/22/2018 at 11:59 PM EDT. No code needed to enjoy this sale! (Excluding refills and brush nibs.) Not valid on previous purchases.
Okay, I've created two cards for today, using both the Artist Markers and Artist Marker Refills. All products used are listed below, in the affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
I was sent a set of refills to play with and I had so much fun! And by the way, don't ya love their pretty packaging? 💙
My first card uses bold colors to create a cool background with the Artist Marker Refills. They work beautifully on Yupo Paper!
I just added a sentiment strip and the card was done.
I used softer colors on my second card for a wispier background.
I colored the flowers with Artist Markers and as with my first card, the background was created using the Refills. I popped up the flowers and added the sentiment strips to finish the card.
I hope I've inspired you and given you some ideas for using Altenew's Artist Markers and refills! The next stop on the hop is Enza Gudor at her blog, Creative Findings.
Thanks so much for stopping by! ♥

Hey guys!
I'm back today with a post for Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember blog party! There are a lot of designers posting today and each one of us has a different coupon code for you to use to get free products - yay! Think of it as a scavenger hunt for some fun, free stuff! It all starts on Simon's blog where you'll find a list of everyone who is participating in the party.
Yesterday, I shared a card with the adorable, Big Picture Book Fox. If you'd like to see that card, you can click here. And if you haven't seen Simon's huge, STAMPtember release, go check it out because it's amazing and filled with so many fantastic products! I've also added them below, in the affiliate links. It won't cost you any extra by using the links, it just helps me continue to create and to share new products with you in the future. I really appreciate your support!
I've got four more cards to share with you today and not one of them involves flowers! I know - shocking - but they're still fun and I loved creating them. I went very simple with each one because I really wanted to showcase the adorable images. I will not be linking every product I used on my cards, just the release products below. So, if you have any questions, just ask in the comments and I'll answer as soon as I can. Okay, let's get started!
On the first two cards, I used the Hip Ginger stamp and die set. Oh, my goodness, this set is the cutest! I created one for fall and one for winter.
Aren't they adorable? I love how you can stamp and color the gingerbread man, along with the clothes and accessories, then add the different outfits depending on the theme of your card. So fun! The sentiment I used is from an older SSS set.
My next card uses the Festive Trees stamp and die set.
I colored the embossed trees with Copic Markers but this set, which comes with four different trees, would look awesome with watercolors too!
Last up is cupcakes! I used the Picture Book cupcake die, cutting out three of them so I'd have vanilla, chocolate and strawberry frosting!
I colored them with Copics, added some shimmer to the frosting and topped them with sprinkles, of course! They make me happy! The two sentiments on this card are from older sets.
Here's my coupon code for you to use during checkout over at Simon Says Stamp. This one is a "free with any purchase" code and it's a $5.00 value.
Here's a larger photo of the sticker sheet.
They are puffy, shiny and actually have little stars
inside for the shaker element. They're really cute and would be perfect
for all your projects with little ones in mind!
I hope you're enjoying the start of STAMPtember! I placed an order from the release, so as soon as those goodies arrive, I'll be back to share more.
Have fun looking for more surprises throughout the blog party and thanks so much for stopping by! ♥
