Altenew March 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hello there!

Welcome to ALTENEW MARCH 2023 MARVELOUS MONTHLY SERIES RELEASE BLOG HOP #2 + GIVEAWAY. Today, we are continuing with more inspiration featuring the latest subscription products.

This month's subscriptions are gorgeous, and of course super versatile. Let me show you what I have created with them:

First up is the new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: DELICATE GARDEN. I am totally in love with this set, and used it in my 6x8 Gratitude journal.

I used the CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: ELEGANT GARDEN to stamp the background and create the cards for my spread. I chose to use the stencil, 3D embossing folder and die to add a bit of texture to the spread. Just love how it all turned out!

Let's take a look at the new PAINT A FLOWER: MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORA. This new stamp set is beautiful, and the size of the flowers makes it ideal for a large floral cluster!

I used a bit of watercolor and added splashes of color to watercolor paper. Once dried, I stamped the PAINT A FLOWER: MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORA and fussy cut each image for the spread.

I am in love with the new SPARK JOY: SWEET STRAWBERRIES. The sweet image and the coordinated stencil make it so easy to customize each foiled panel.

I used two of the SPARK JOY: SWEET STRAWBERRIES design to create my card ( there was as bit of fussy cutting involved). I also used the hot foil plate to add the sentiment to my card.

I am using the new CRAFT A FLOWER: SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA Layering Die Set to create this card!

I used soft tones of pink cardstock for the flowers. The sentiment for the card comes from the new BUILD A GARDEN: DANCING POPPIES. It was so easy to put this card together!!

Probably one of my favorite pieces from this month's releases has to be the new BUILD A GARDEN: DANCING POPPIES. I love the movement in the flowers, and how they all come together in one stamp set, which makes it easy to build all at once.

I used the flowers from the BUILD A GARDEN: DANCING POPPIES to frame the photo in my layout, then used the CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: DELICATE GARDEN stamp set to add the title and extra sentiments to the spread.

Lastly, Iam using the new MINI DELIGHT: CAFE AU LAIT DAHLIA to create this new spread in my Family journal.

I mixed some of the new Trailblazing Inks to create all the floral images from the MINI DELIGHT: CAFE AU LAIT DAHLIA. It was all about nesting my memories in the flower images and a small title from the same stamp set.

I hope this provided some extra information for the latest Marvelous Monthly Releases. Altenew is so excited to continue celebrating the release, and are holding a generous giveaway.

Altenew October 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW OCTOBER 2022 MARVELOUS MONTHLY SERIES RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Sande Woodson's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

Today, we are celebrating the release of this month's beautiful subscription products, and they are gorgeous.... Let me show you what I have created

The new CRAFT-A-FLOWER: EPIPHYLLUM FLOWER Layering Die Set is beautiful an easy to layer, too! I used this set to create this A2 card.

I use the CAF: EPIPHYLLUM Layering Die set to cut all my pieces from white cardstock. I colored each piece with Altenew Crisp Inks, and layered the pieces together, I set the card on top of a circle die cut, then added a sentiment from the PAINT-A-FLOWER: WATERLILLY DAHLIA Outline Stamp to complete the card.

I love the new MINI DELIGHT: WILD GERANIUMS stamp/die set! I used a few colors of Altenew Crisp Inks to create the blossoms and leave for this A2 card.

I created my card panel using the Nesting Oval Die set, then added my MINI DELIGHTS: WILD GERANIUMS to the left of the oval. The sentiment comes from the PAINT-A-FLOWER: WATERLILLY DAHLIA. A few gems complete the card.

I actually used the PAINT-A-FLOWER: WATERLILLY DAHLIA to create the embellishments for this new spread in my family's journal.

I stamped the image twice on watercolor paper ( with Obsidian ink), then detailed the image with watercolor. A fine sharp pair of scissors helped to fuss cut the images. Then it was all about setting them on the spread. This time, I am also using the new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: CASUAL BOUQUETS stamp set to add a small sentiment to the bottom of the pictures.

This month's CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: CASUAL BOUQUETS is gorgeous. I am using it to create a new entry in my journal. I just love the combination of the embossed color florals on top of the black and white stamped images.

This was so easy to put together with the help of the embossing folder and layering detailed coloring stencil.

Finally, I am using the new BUILD-A-GARDEN: DEAR DAHLIAS to create this spread. This month, the BUILD- A- GARDEN DAHLIAS Add-On Die set actually creates a layered dahlia flower that matches the stamped one!

The new BAG: DEAR DAHLIAS is such a beautiful set, but the add-on die set just takes this set to extraordinary. You are going to love it!

I cannot wait to see what new monthly subscription you will use in your upcoming projects.

Of course ALTENEW is celebrating the release with a generous GIVEAWAY!

Altenew August 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hello there!

Welcome to ALTENEW AUGUST 2022 MARVELOUS MONTHLY SERIES RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Teri Wilson's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

All the new ALTENEW subscription products have been revealed, and this month there are 5 beautiful designs that are sure to get you inspired and ready to create. Let me show you what I have created

Let's start with the new BUILD-A-GARDEN: DAFFODIL DELIGHT ADD-ON DIE BUNDLE. This new stamp/stencil set with the die add-on is perfect for all sorts of projects. I am using to detail a new entry in my Family Journal.

It was so easy to create the BUILD-A-GARDEN: DAFFODIL DELIGHT blooms, and then clustered them at the bottom of the spread. A few sentiments complete the spread!

For this spread, I reached for the the new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: MAGNOLIA & BLOOMS. This new stamp/stencil/embossing folder/die bundle is amazing! The stamp is so detailed you can easily use it as a background and embellishment at the same time!

But having the option of coloring the embossed image with the stencil and then cutting it out makes it extra versatile. And then there is the sentiments in the stamp set... just perfection!

I love the PAINT-A-FLOWER: WOOD ANEMONE stamp set. This large bloom is just the ideal size for customizing with your choice of coloring medium. This time, I am using Artist Markers to color my blooms for this pocket page spread.

I am pairing the color images with stamped outlines of the same stamp set. This helps to showcase the details in the flowers so much more, plus work great with my black and white photos.

Let's talk about the new CRAFT-A-FLOWER: OPEN PEONY Layering Die Set... just beautiful! and so easy to put together.

I chose to cut all my pieces from white cardstock, then used Altenew Crisp Inks to add color to the bloom. I paired it with a simple sentiment, and voila!

One of my favorite releases are always the Mini Delight subscription, and this time the new MINI DELIGHT: LIKE A STAR Stamp/Die Set is just magical.

I simply followed the instructions to create a soft rainbow of star balloons. I tied them together to a sentiment tag and then added a few sprinkles to finish this card,
