To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to SIX lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 11:59pm EST on Friday, December 15th for a chance to win! The winners will be announced on the Altenew Card Blog and Altenew Scrapbook Blog on Sunday, December 17th.
I’m also drawing a winner to receive a $30 gift certificate so be sure to leave a comment below by 11:59pm EST on Friday, December 15th. I will announce my winner here on Saturday, December 16th.
I used the same colour scheme for all three of my release cards to keep everything simple, proving that you can make all your cards in your favourite colours. It’s not necessary to have a rainbow of inks. Plus, I made cards for three different occasions, in both masculine and feminine styles. You can do it all with limited supplies!
My first card has a video and it features the Ninja Invasion stamp set and Ninja Invasion Dies, as well as the existing Sketchy Lines Stencil. I share how easy it is to stamp these fun ninjas, plus some tips and tricks for stamping. See how this card comes together here:
The sentiment was stamped first with Lagoon ink and then I used the coordinating die cut of the sentiment to die cut the words from gold glitter cardstock. I adhered the die cut letters slightly off-set so that a shadow of the Lagoon would show.
Be sure to leave a comment at each stop along the way for a chance to win!
Thanks so much for hopping with us today! Happy shopping!!
