Hi ya! 

What better way to kick off 2017 here on Sunshine, Smiles and Cards than with a blog hop! Altenew is a stamping company with some of the most beautiful stamp sets I have ever seen and the stamps have inspired me so much to want to play with my embossing powders, inks, coloring etc. 

When I laid eyes on this stamp set I got so excited because my mind was flooded with ideas! I am going to give you the run down of what I did for the two cards that I made. 

Altenew "Big World" Stamp Set & Die

So here's the run down of the products I used: 

• Altenew "Big World" Stamp & Die (the globe on the black card I cut the images out with the die)
• Embossing powders Pearl Gold on the white card/ Jeweled Gold on the black card
• VersaFine black ink on white card for sentiment 
• Stamp Perfect Tool from Hero Arts which I LOVE! I was able to get the globe and the sentiments exactly where I want them and since I have been using it for a while now I have noticed that I have more confidence when I am creating with my stamps. 

As you can see there were not many products used but I just love how they turned out, the pictures don't really do them just they are so sparkly and shiny! Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you get the chance to get your own Altenew stamps and dies they are so much fun to create with. Your next stop is Stacy: Craft-A-holic Momma

Wishing you sunshine and smiles,

Kim :)

Hi All! 

Kim here from Sunshine, Smiles, and Cards with what I came up with to celebrate the Lawn Fawn Blog Hop Release!

The distress inks below are what I used to create the sky, LF's Stitched Hillside die to create the snow and LF's "Winter Alpaca" stamp set. The snowflakes on the card are stamped in Versa Mark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.I cut the alpaca's scarf out of LF's "Perfectly Plaid Christmas"

These are the colors used to create the sky.

Your next stop is Stacy at Craft-A-holic Momma !
