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

 

Hi there, and welcome to ALTENEW NOVEMBER 2023 MARVELOUS MONTHLY SERIES RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY .   You can check the list at the bottom of this post for all the blog hop participants.

Today, we are celebrating all the new Altenew subscriptions available in the shop!   And I just had fun with them,  let me show you what I have created:

 

I love the new CRAFT A FLOWER: FLOWERING DOGWOOD! I combined it with a HoneyComb Daisies cover plate die panel and a sentiment from BUILD A GARDEN: CHEERFUL COREOPSES  in this card.  

I am using the new BUILD A GARDEN: CHEERFUL COREOPSES to create the cover page of my July Album. To create the dimensional look of the flowers, I used the new BAG: CHEERFUL COREOPSES Add-on Die set .

The new Spark Joy: Black Hellebore Add On bundle  was the perfect way to add a story about me to my family journal.   I love the movement in this set, and it was so easy to color it.  I added a sentiment from the new  Build-A-Garden: Cheerful Coreopses to complete the spread.

This month's Dynamic Duo: Paradise Flowers  is beautiful, and a must in your stash.   I used the stencil for the background, then added the details for the flowers in the cluster with the stamp set ,then used the new Dynamic Duo: Paradise Flowers Add-on Die set to cut them out .  Once again, I reached for the Build-A-Garden: Cheerful Coreopses for the sentiment in this spread.

The new Mini Delight: Tea Rose Blossom might be one of my favorites from this release.  It was so easy to build each of the blooms for this pocket spread!

I hope these inspire you to take a look at the latest subscription release. To celebrate the release, Altenew is giving away prizes:

Pinkfresh Studio November 2023 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Embellishment Release

 

Hi there!

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO NOVEMBER 2023 STAMP, DIE, STENCIL, AND EMBELLISHMENT RELEASE...  I am so happy you are here, and checking all the beautiful inspiration created with this month's release.  Let me show you what I have created with some of the new products:

I combined the new ORNATE RECTANGLE FRAME DIE, NOTHING BUT THE BEST STAMP SUITE, KAITLIN ALPHA DIE, and FARM FRESH STAMP SET along with pieces from Lovely Blooms and Garden Bouquet collections for this spage,

I started by heat embossing a few of the NOTHING BUT THE BEST stamp  with Snow white Embossing powder.  I used the coordinating NOTHING BUT THE BEST stencil and Crisp Dye Inks ( Ballet Slipper, Cherry Blossom, Peony, Begonia, Eucayptus,  Spanish Moss) to color all the images, before cutting them out with the NOTHING BUT THE BEST die.  I set the images on a small crescent formation on dark blush cardstock.

Using the new ORNATE RECTANGLE FRAME DIE, I cut a few of the small frames, and used them to encase my photos.   I set these in the inside of the crescent  of flowers.    I added just a few embellishments from the paper collections, before working on my title.  For this, I used the new  KAITLIN ALPHA DIE to cut the letters from white cardstock (shadow), and blush metallic cardstock for the letters.  I placed the title above the pictures with a few extra embellishments. 

To finish my page, I chose to add a few stamped sentiments using the new FARM FRESH STAMP,  using ink colors in begonia, around the flowers.   A few Metallic Gold Pearls complete the page, and I love how it turned out!

I hope this inspires you to check all the new PINKFRESH STUDIO NOVEMBER RELEASE.   There is so much inspiration to checkout, and also a generous giveaway.

ADVENT CALENDAR - Doodlebug Design

Today,  I want to show you a little twist for your Advent Calendars.   Maybe is the fact that we have adult children, and that we live in an apartment, that pushed me to look at this project as a storage case that can live in my common area throughout the year... Let me show you what I have created:

As you can see I went with a design that can easily fit in any room of my apartment where we need storage for little items (my daughter is already thinking about a second one for her earrings and make up)

I used the 6x6 Dot/Stripe Petite Print pad and the12x12 Dot/Stripe papers to cut the covers for each box. My inspiration for the colors was one of my favorite collections of this year, HELLO AGAIN.  I also used the Butterfly Wishes Doodle cuts to create matching butterfly die cuts and attached them to the front of each box.

 

For the top of the calendar, I used patterned paper from the Hello Again collection to cover the top and the roof of the house.  I used a die to create the window and shutters and added that to the top of the house.  I added a bit of pom pom trim to the edge of the house to mark the roof of the house.  Then continued the butterfly theme to the top of the window and shutters..

Once it was all ready, I filled the little boxes with my Doodle pins and a few favorite little trinkets.  Like I said, it is the perfect place for some extra storage.

I hope this gives you a new idea for your Advent Calendars.  Remember to share with us what you create!
