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.

FAMILY SELFIE TIME _ Doodlebug Design

 It is time for a new dose of  Over The Rainbow.  I just love all the happiness this collection brings to each story.   This time, I borrowed inspiration from one of the collection design's to create  my page.




I am sure you all are loving the rainbow theme of the collection, and I wanted to bring it in a clean way to my spread ( and it is all inspired by one of the collection's designs!)




I started by creating my background with a cloud stencil and ink..  While the ink dried, I free hand drew a few cloud images on white cardstock and 6x6 paper, and decided to hand stitched them to add texture.




I set the clouds  atop of the stenciled background, then added a few extra embellishments to continue the sky look for the page.




Now to create my rainbow, I cut paper strips ( all from one paper) and glued them as coming down from the clouds (just like the collection's design!).  I added coordinating sprinkles to the paper strips so that they give the idea of raindrops.  Then I set the picture of my littlest cousins ( and my older cousin!_ at the bottom of the rainbow




To build the title, I elongated the bottom line of the design by adding Odds and Ends pieces to the side of the photo.  Then combined Chit Chat pieces with cardstock stickers, and some new Alphabet Soup stickers.




I love how this turned out! Sometimes inspiration can be found in the little details of the collection!  Be sure to check out the colorful Over The Rainbow collection !!

Altenew March 2023 Stamp/Die/Stencil & More Release Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)


 

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW MARCH 2023 STAMP/DIE/STENCIL & MORE RELEASE BLOG HOP #2 + GIVEAWAY.   Today we are celebrating the newly release products from Altenew with inspiration  for you all.




There are so many beautiful products to choose from this Altenew release.  It was so easy and hard to pick a few to work with.   Here is what I have created with my selection of products:



Let's start with the cover page of my Personal Journal for the year... I mixed the new Stunning Sakura stamp set and Stunning Sakura Coloring stencil to create the background of the page.




Next, I am using the new Delicate Dragonflies bundle ( Delicate Dragonflies Details Hot Foil Plate, and Delicate Dragonflies Die set) to create the delicate elements of the page.  I used the hot foil plate and die to create the wings on vellum, then cut their bodies from metallic cardstock.





The new Roaming Pandas bundle is so cute, and just perfect for a card. I used it to create the focal point of this card.  I paired it with the new Bamboo Branches 3D Embossing folder in the background of the card.




I am using one of the new sentiments created with the Vertical Greetings.  I added a pop of extra shine using left over pieces from the Zero-Waste Leaf Pattern to  complete the card.




For this spread, I am using the new Soft Blossoms bundle to create the flower frame in the journaling section of the layout.




The new Sweet Blossom die set to help me complement the look of the spread. I cut all the pieces from white cardstock, and used ink pads to color each piece, so that it matches the look of the page.





I love Altenew's hot foil plates! So, I quickly pulled the new Modern Rainbow  to create a pieces for  this spread on my family's journal album.



To bring more of the pattern of the plate, I am using the new Abstract Patterns Builder stencil to complete my journaling card.






For my final project, I am combining a few products.  I used the Zero- Waste Leaf Pattern Die to cut the panel of the card from gold paper.  I used the new Fine Watercolor Brushes to add blue watercolor to a piece of cardstock..   I used the new Leaf Essentials Die Set to cut a few leaves from this cardstock.




I added one of the new Vertical Greetings Foiled element as the sentiment for this card.    All of these were just a joy to put together using a selection of this release products.
