Altenew Geometry & Nature Stencils Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

HI there!

Welcome to Altenew's Geometry & Nature Stencils Release Blog Hop + Giveaway.  You are arriving from Vicki Papaioannou's blog.  A list of all the blog hop participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

Today, Altenew is releasing a new set of stencils that are sure to stretch your imagination when paper crafting.  Regardless of the format you work with, stencils are versatile pieces that can convert your projects easily.  And this new set is amazing.   Let me show you what i have created:

The new Leaf Bed stencil  is probably one of my favorites from this release.  I chose to use it to add texture to the background of this card.   A bit of Embossing paste and a palette knife is all that i needed to create the texture in the card panel.  

To make sure the background shines, i kept the rest of the card pretty simple. Two flowers created with the Beauty Within stamp, die, and Easy coloring stencil along with a few die cuts from the Hanging Garden die set provide the focus point.  The simple embossed sentiment comes from the Simply The Best Stamp Set. 

For my next card, i wanted something a bit more masculine using the  new LEAF DROPS stencil.  I started by adding a bit of Sea Breeze ink to heavy cardstock, once it dried, i mixed a bit of cracking paste with gold paste and passed the mixture through the stencil and set it aside to dry.

Using the Halftone Heart Die set, i cut two hearts from the pre made paper.   To bring the gold of the paste forward, I chose a navy dotted cardstock. I added a piece of vellum and then used foam adhesive to attach the hearts to the card. Once again, I used the  Simply The Best Stamps set to add my sentiment and a few Satin Gold sequin to add a touch of shimmer to the card.

And, now onto my truest love, documenting...

Let's start with the new MIGHTY CORNERS stencil.   I love the triangular shape of the stencil, as it forms guiding lines on my page.  This time, i pulled inks from different Altenew mini cube sets, and carefully masked the stencil so i can color each line a different color.

The lines of the stencil are doing lots of the work.  So,  all i need to add was my picture a few phrase stickers, a simple title and a few stamped sentiments ( Everything Orange Stamp set).

As soon as i saw the new SPHERE STENCIL, all i could think was of the sun...and since i had this picture of my kids sleeping on my daughter's bunk bed,  right away i thought of morning.     First, i used a piece of one of the Celebrate collection's paper to back the picture so that it fits in the album.  

I used the Cloud Scene Stencil, Sea Shore Mini Ink cube set and an ink blending tool to create the clouds for the page.  To add some interest to the page, i used yellow texture paste and a stencil brush to stipple the paste through the stencil, that gives the sun a bit of texture.

Once the paste dried, i used the Shine Like A Diamond  Stamp set to create my title, and then added a small sentiment to the bottom of the  journal lines.

For my last project, i decided to combine stencils and colors for a new page on my journal.   I started by creating the background using the new COLOR BLOCK TRIANGLES stencil, an ink blending tool, and Sea Shore and Shades of Purple  mini ink cube sets.    I used painter's tape to help me mask the stencil and create the ombre effect of the triangles.

While the ink set,  i used the new STRIPE BUILDER stencil to color a piece of white cardstock and then used the Bold Alpha die set to cut the word "Play" for my title.  I mixed a few chipboard alpha from the Enjoy The Ride scrapbook collection.  A few embellishments complete the page.

I hope these have inspired you to check all the new stencil and use them in your next project.  Remember to take advantage of this weekend's promotion...
