We’re teaming up today to showcase the versatility of the innovative Stampwheel from Altenew. It is the perfect craft room companion for the everyday crafter who wants a stamping mount for a quick, clever, and efficient way to stamp. You can easily create a wreath, layer stamps, mirror stamps, use stencils, & more with minimal effort and maximum creativity! 

For my today’s card I used the Stampwheel to create a floral round pattern. I placed my card base in the middle of the tool and stamped my images from Botanical Wreath Builder Stamp Set. I placed four small stamps in desired position, flipped the clear plate eight times and my pattern was done! Really quick and easy!

I started by stamping my floral images from Vase Fillers Stamp Set with a light ink (I used Limestone Crisp Dye Ink) onto the watercolour papers. Next, I used my watercolours to very loosely paint over the stamped images.

For my second background I used only two stamps and only three watercolour tubes.

To finish both designs I added some watercolour splatters. I'm really pleased with how both backgrounds turned out, they will make a great base for my cards.

For my today’s project I used the newly released Dynamic Duo: Wildflower Bouquet & Add-on Die Bundle. This bundle includes everything you need to create a cute bunch of flowers: the Dynamic Duo: Wildflower Bouquet Layering Stencil Set, stamp set for additional details and kind sentiments along with one matching add-on die set containing 4 dies.

I started by stencilling my flowers onto white cardstock using the stencil set. For the flowers I used pink inks from Spring Bouquet set, blues from Tranquility Crisp Dye Ink set and purple shades from Enchanted Garden Crisp Dye Ink set. For the leaves I used green inks from Spring Bouquet set and Evergreen Crisp Dye Ink. To finish the design I added some additional details stamped with dark purple and black ink. I die cut the bouquet and my sentiment using the coordinating dies and added to the card. As a background I used a patterned paper from Blushing Blooms 6x6 Paper Pack.
