I loved this addition to the classic Tea Time stamp and die set, now Altenew offers a stencil set as well. I started by putting the sentiment in the center top portion of my blank white note card. I colored the images with various ink colors in Blues, Pinks Oranges and a bit of brown. I love how some card can just make themselves. Enamel dots were a perfect finishing touch. Click here to see the newest products!

For my second card, I combined two stamp set together, the first being Wispy Joy and the second Hello Friend! For my colors I chose to be light and earthy, with desert colors in reds and yellows with a bit of greenery. I added more Enamel dots in Green Fields in different shades. I added up the background and pulled everything together onto the fabulous Note For You die set in 80 lb. white cardstock.

For my final card, I use the Always Be Kind outline stamp and stencil set. I added Gilded Glitter cardstock for a little bling and used various Shades of Purples for the florals and sentiment. I also used Obsidian Black on the sentiments and outline of the stamp.

I started by deciding which side of this gorgeous stamp set was I going to use. I decided on the branch portion itself. Starting with the outline stamp, then moving to the matching stencil set. I used my Detail Blending Brushes for each of the layers on the stencil. Then I grabbed my snips and began fussy cutting it out. For my colors I used Tea Party and Tropical Forest Crisp Dye Inks along with Artist Markers Y204 and R101.

The Fine Frames die set was used on Gold cardstock and looks Devine, as a pair. I added a simple sentiment in Obsidian Black and my design is complete. I didn't add any other embellishments because I thought the gold was the bit of wow every card needs.
