**GIVEAWAY** Easy Stamp Layering for Nature Scene

December 13, 2018

Happy Thursday! Today I have a very quick, clean, and simple card to share with you all using a brand new stamp set release from Altenew. It has become one of my favorites, so let’s dive in right away.

I was able to create a simple card with lots of sweet details using one of the stamp sets from this release. This one is called Nature Snippets Stamp Set, and it has these amazing layers to create beautiful nature scenes within a circular frame!

I chose the 2nd largest image from the set that features beautiful blossoms. I know we are still in the middle of winter, but I simply cannot wait for the warm weather to hurry up and come. This card was meant for a couple that is about to embark on their new life together, so I wanted to use a light and sweet colors.

I used Sea Glass, Dusk, and Cotton Candy for the focal point scenery, and stamped the sentiment in Jet Black. A couple of enamel dots were used for a finishing touch. You can definitely omit this part, but I wanted a very small bit of neutral color on the card.

If you ever need help lining up these images, make sure to watch the layering guide video or refer to the layering guide on the back of your stamp packaging. These are quite easy to line up and very forgiving as well, so even if you are new to stamp layering, you will be just fine.

    May the new year is a much brighter and happier one for all of us- Happy New Year 💕 
#scrapsandstamps #alcoholink #2021 #newyear #altenew
    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁
#scrapsandstamps #holidaygifts #handmade
    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

#scrapsandstamps #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homeoffice #srudio #givethanks
    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches
    Hello, beautiful! (Yes, you!) ❤️ Spring (or summer) floral wreath 🌼🌺 - created effortlessly with brand new stamp from #altenew 💕 sending early summer warmth to your way, hope you are having a great week! 🥰🥰 #scrapsandstamps #handmadecards #handmade #cardmaking #layeredstamping #altenewblossomwreath
    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

#calligraphy #brushlettering #handlettering
    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
