Altenew March 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil/Ink Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi there!

Welcome to the  ALTENEW March 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil/Ink Release Blog Hop and Giveaway.  You should be arriving from Lilith's blog.

Today,  I am so excited to be joining the blog hop as I love Altenew's products, and this month's releases are probably high on my list of favorites.  It was so hard and easy at the same time to pick the products i wanted to work with, but  I think that i better show you what i created with them.

The new Book Club stamp and die set   was one of the first products added to my list.   I love the image of the circle framed with the lovely florals, and put it to use in this spread on my Family Album (Life Crafted Album from Citrus Twist Kits).  I used Blush and Coral Bliss Crisp Inks to create the background of the page using the Leaf Canopy stamp set.   The Book Club stamp set was then used to create the florals around the picture and the die cut on the right side of the spread.   I have created a small video that will show you how this page came together:

I love the simplicity and elegance of the page, the Book Club stamp set is such a versatile set that it can easily be used outside of the covers of your book.

For my next project, I pulled the new Bold Bunch Stamp set to create a cheery card.

I created masks for each of the Bold Bunch stamp images and the center of the card, then used a series of Altenew Crisp Inks to add the florals around the center of the card, sort of framing the sentiment.

To complete the card, i gold embossed the sentiment, and framed it with some of the Fine Frames die cuts.   Sweet and simple card, and perfect for the upcoming Spring season.

For the next project, I used the Rennie Rose stamp and Masking Stencil set to create a new entry in my Life Crafted album (Citrus Twist Kits).   

   

My idea was to create my custom-made patterned paper using the stamps  and masking stencil set.   Once the background was stamped, then i used the Altenew watercolor pan set to add some detailing to the flowers.   The Altenew Classic Alpha Die was also used to create the title of this spread.   I love how this turned out, and i have created a small video for you all to see how it came together:

I am sure by now you are all loving all the new Altenew releases, trust me there is so much to chose from.    So let me show you a few more options...

The next project features the Prettiest Pomander stamp set.  This time i used the stamp to create a simple card.  For this, i created a mask and used it to stamp a series of images at the top left corner of the card using Altenew Black crisp ink.

I added a few accents of white by coloring the centers of some of the flowers.  The sentiments comes from the Handpicked Bouquet stamp set, and i chose to embossed it in white on a small tag.  I added a bit of foam adhesive behind it and  used some metallic thread to bring the eye to the sentiment.   LOVE how this turned out.

And now for my final project, i chose to use the new Wallpaper Art stamp and die set, this is a new favorite of mine, to create this layout about my family,

The florals  stamped images are the focus of this page, so i decide to pair them up with some watercolor and a cut file from Citrus Twist Kits.   The kraft background just makes the flowers the centerpiece of this page.  Here is video that will showcase how it all came together:

As you can see i had fun with this  month's Altenew releases, it is hard to chose a favorite, hence why it was hard and easy to pick from the catalogue. 

Now it has come to the fun part of this blog hop:
