ALTENEW 5th ANNIVERSARY BLOG HOP DAY 3 + GIVEAWAY

Hi there!
Welcome to the Altenew 5th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway!!!   Happy Birthday Altenew!
You must be arriving from Virginia Lu's blog..

Today I am so excited to join in the Altenew Anniversary celebrations as i love their products and all the people behind the scenes.  My collection of Altenew goodies has grown through the past 3 years, so  it was hard to just create one project for this post, so, instead i have worked a small compilation of projects all inspired by Altenew.

Let's start with a card, for this, i glued one of the white resin frames  to the center of a tan cardstock that is already set on a white premade card.   I stamped the Perfectly Perfect floral image  and the Beautiful Peony leaves onto heavy cardstock,  and used the Altenew Artist Marker set E to detail each of the images

A cluster of the stamped images was added to the corner of the frame using strong glue and foam adhesive.   The sentiment comes from the Envelope Stickers, I simply glued the sticker to cardstock, and trimmed it to form the small banner.

A few clear sequins complete the card.  My CAS card design makes each of the elements stand out, and i love the striking results in this card.

As i mentioned, i had fun creating for this blog hop, and my next project is all about using the Altenew Handpicked Bouquet stamp set and its layering guide to create an entry on my Family Album (Citrus Twist Kits Life Crafted album).

I used the Altenew Crips Ink in Black Jet to create an impression of the stamp around the border of the layout, then used the Rose Petal, Tropical Forest  Mini Ink CUbes set along with Buttercream and Coral Bliss to add color to the images.  A few drops of Altenew Metallic Ink Spray in Cosmic Berry and Sunkissed  complete the background.   The title was created with a chipboard from the Live Your Dream collection and the Beautiful Peony stamp set.   To finish a few enamel dots from the Altenew collection were added. The following video will show you how it all came together:

All the projects created for this blog hop were a joy to put together, but this layout may be my favorite one

One of my favorite Altenew stamps of all times is the newly released Wallpaper Art. This time i chose to emboss the images in gold, and then used the Altenew watercolor pan set to detail them.   This was one of those pages that comes together in a moment of inspiration so no video!

I added a bit of white acrylic paint to the non-white background and layered the flowers in an "L" shape.   The pictures of my niece and daughter were then layered with papers from the Verdant Walk collection, and nestled at the corner of the page.  A few embellishments from the Live Your Dream collection were added to the page.

The final touch of this page are the small butterfly images created using the Dream Big Stamp and Die set in conjunction with the Altenew inks.  Truly love how this turned out, and how easy it came together.   

All these projects were created to showcase the beautiful and versatile products Altenew offers. If you are a fan/collector of their goodies, then pulled them out and use them in your next project, and in case you want to add to the collection, then take advantage of their Anniversary offer:
