October 2019 Post Release Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!
Happy Weekend!
Welcome to the October 2019 Post Release Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY! Hopefully you have hopped on over from HERE, where I have introduced todays blog hop and given you a little refresh of the October Release which went live on the website HERE a couple of weeks ago.
Today I have a few more cards to share with you using some of the new products. I was hoping to have more to share, but the ideas in my head will have to wait until I have some more creative time 😉
First up I couldn’t resist using Season Of Beauty, this large clear stamp set has so many creative possibilities and one idea I had when designing it was to build my own Poinsettia flowers using the leaves in the set.
I used two shades of pink/red Altenew inks to stamp each flower, starting with a light shade for four leaves opposite each other and then a dark shade to fill in the gaps. The largest flower is fussy cut and adhered to the card using foam adhesive.
My apologies for my terrible photos of this card, I need more practise (still) with my light set up and my iPhone always struggles with these bright pinks!
Next I wanted to use the Background Blocks Scandinavian Christmas to execute a white on kraft idea I have had in my head for some time now.
For this card I used my MISTI to stamp the background block purposefully off centre in Unicorn White Pigment Ink and then heat embossed with WOW! Opaque White EP.
Then onto some small strips of kraft card I have stamped the peace, love, joy sentiments from Festive Sentiments Outlined with VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then I have coloured the sentiments with a white gel pen. I love the result and the sentiments look fab adhered over the edge of the stamped background using foam adhesive.
Next was time for a shaker card as I haven’t made one for ages and the new stand alone Designer Die Sparkling Snowflake was calling to be used!
I love making shaker cards, though they are quite time consuming! The results however out weigh the time taken to add all the foam adhesive around a fussy design 😉 Plus, the sparkly sequins are such a happy sight too!
One thing I must try harder on is thinking about sentiments and sentiment placement prior to assembling cards. Especially cards that take as much time as this! I could have left it sentiment free, but I felt it needed one when complete. I’ve added the ‘Let it Snow’ from Festive Sentiments Outlined, which is stamped onto a light scrap of Pool Party card and again adhered using foam adhesive.
Lastly for today I have used Festive Sentiments Outlined to create a reasonably quick CAS card…
Again, my iPhone really doesn’t like photographing red with lots of white, so it seems to have a pink shade to the white card 🙁 Anyway, the current sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch! seen HERE and below was perfect.
I used my larger MISTI to stamp the sentiments and then simply coloured them in with marker pens and adhered the panel with foam adhesive to a red card base.
That’s all I had time to create this week for the hop, but I have so many more ideas and cards I want to make and share using these new products, that you’ll see more in the coming days and lead up to Christmas!

What a fabulous release Bev, and what a lot of inspiration on the blog hop – I’ve come back to you having seen all the samples from your ambassadors. My favourite started as Season of Beauty, which is a real stunner! I love the stylised poinsettia and I like the way you show-cased even more ways to make flowers from the leaves. Of course I now also love everything else – especially the stencil, the outlined sentiments and the Scandinavian Background Block and your shaker card has shown me that the snowflake die is the perfect shape too!
Thank you for giving us all the chance to win your release 🙂

What gorgeous cards, you’ve really showcased the versatility of the wonderful new goodies. I’m a total sucker for white-on-kraft so that’s my favourite.
I am absolutely squealing with delight and adoration at all your stunning, classy, CAS and totally elegant designs with the new goodies Bev. I am way late with commenting and seriously need to lock myself in my craft room for days to play some more! Love them all equally – so many fabulous ideas. x
Aww…how wonderful cards. Love them all. Love your new release.

Fabulous cards and stamps.
Echoing the others: you’ve create a gorgeous array of cards that showcase the versatility of this release (which is one of my favourites ever…although I say that about all your releases *grin*). I was ‘this close’ to making a snowflake shaker, but opted for a rustic layered version. Shaker still on the ‘do’ list! I want to case everything you’ve designed here; they’re simply ‘that’ awesome!
