HI there!
Welcome to the Altenew February 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. You must arrived from Virginia's blog.
I am always so floored when i am invited to be part of these amazing blog hops, especially cause i get to work with the awesome new Altenew products. This new set of stamps, dies and stencils that Altenew is releasing today are gorgeous, and super versatile, so it was hard to pick a favorite. Let me show you what i have created with some of the products:
As soon as i saw the new Dotted Blooms stamp and die set, i was in love! The design was delicate and perfect to document our cherry blossom festival memories. The flowering branches with the delicate buds gave me the idea of creating a wreath for the page. I used Altenew Crisp inks to stamp the flowers -in black and grey- and then chose colors from the Altenew inks to match the colors in my kids's clothing. I have created a small video to show you how it all came together.
This circular design of this layout is so easy to put together; truly the Dotted Blooms stamp and die set is a must in this release. But since we are talking circles, let me show you set of simple cards created with the new Trendy Circles Stamp set.
The sentiments on the stamp set gave me the idea to create birthday cards for my kids. It is amazing what you can create with this small set.
For my boy card, i decided to use cool colors of Altenew Crisp Inks to stamp a few of the circles. My mistake was not getting the coordinating die, so i had to fussy cut them out. I stamped a few of the grid circles onto the card, and then some foam adhesive was used to glue the fussy cut circles thus creating dimension in the card; a few enamel dots complete this card!
Now for the girl's card, i was inspired by my daughter's love for ice cream! This time, i started by stamping some of the circle images on pink and white cardstock with Altenew inks, then fussy cutting them. Next i used the Trigonometry stamp set to create the ice cream cone, I had to trim the image a bit so that it fit the size of the circles. I used a bit of Altenew ink to create a soft color shadow in the background, and then used foam adhesive to create the ice cream cone. The Altenew enamel heart and the sentiment complete this card. So Sweet!
For the next card, i used the beautiful Botanical Silhouettes stamp and die set. This stamp is beautiful, and perfect to create dimensional cards or frames. In this case, the image was stamped with pink ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.
The sentiment from the Beautiful Peony stamp set was gold embossed in the negative circle die. For the background of the card, i reached for the Leaf Canopy stamp set and some grey Altenew inks to create those leafy shadows. A bit of foam adhesive attachs the frame to the card, then a few pink jewels complete the card. Love the soft look of this card!
Speaking of sweet things, the next project is all about this beautiful shot of my cousin a few weeks before having my new Goddaughter. For this, i used the Altenew Frilled Petals stamp set and die set with the coordinating Altenew Inks.
The beautiful blooms are rthe perfect size to complement the picture and create a bold statement in my Family album (Citrus Twist Kits Life Crafted album) . I paired the blooms with an embossed heart created using the Magnolia heart stamp and die set a sentiment from the Wonderland stamp set. LOVE!!
Now onto my last project for this blog hop ( i think i have kept you long enough here). The Beautiful Peony stamp and Die set are just so gorgeous that i couldn't stop coloring the images with the Altenew watercolor pan set. So i decided to use lots of the images to create this page about our Mother's Day portrait from a few years ago. You can see how this page came all together in the upcoming video:
Like I mentioned at the beginning of this long post, there are so many beautiful stamps, dies and stencils being released by Altenew you are going to have a hard time passing up on some of them! Now it is time to get to the fun part of the blog hop... GIVEAWAYS!!!
