ALTENEW MARCH 2020 STAMP/DIE/STENCIL RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY


Hi there!
Welcome to the ALTENEW MARCH 2020 STAMP/DIES/STENCIL RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY.  You are arriving from Justine Hovey's blog - a list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post-.


Today, Altenew is releasing a new set of goodies that you are going to love, there is even paper packs and inks!!!  As usual, i had so much dun working with some of these, so let me show you what i created, starting with a few simple cards:

Sending Blessings:




I used the new PYSANKA stamp set to create this card - perfect for Easter-.  I love the intricate design in each of the images, and how easy it is to piece it together.  So, i pulled a few inks (Sweet Dreams, Sea Shore, Pocketful of Sunshine mini ink sets) to build the inside of the design.  Then heat embossed the outline of the image (Enchanted Gold ink and Crystal Clear embossing powder)



Once i cut the images, i used navy cardstock to create the card panel.  I trimmed a strip of paper from the A LOVE of STRIPES set A paper pack, and set it at the bottom of the card followed by a piece of 1in Gold Foil washi tape.   I heat embossed one of the sentiments on navy cardstock, and glued it to the card, then used foam adhesive to attach the images.  A few gems complete the card.  I love the colors of the eggs, and how easy it came together.

Love you:




The new TREBLE LOVE DIE SET is one that i think i will go back to regularly.   I love the music element of the die, and decided  to keep the card simple.  I started by creating the card front by running washi tape ( Sweet Dreams) leaving a small gap between the strips.



I cut a small card panel from white cardstock, and then used metallic papers and the Treble Love die to cut all the elements.  I used a  bit of foam adhesive behind the pieces to create a bit dimension in this simple card. A few crystal drops complete this card. Just love the CAS design!

Let's now look at some Scrapbooking and memory keeping


Joyful Today:




I just love the design of the new SWEET NOTHINGS stamp set.   These flowers are large and the perfect size to embellish a Scrapbook Layout.  I stamped the images with Obsidian ink , and detailed them with the new Artist Watercolor Palette set.  While the flowers and leaves dried, i used some handstitching to form the heart in the background of the page.




I used  a bit of the watercolor to add a bit of color to the background, so that it peeks  from behind the picture.  Here i used papers from the Fuchsia Soiree and Cheerful Meadow Paper packs to back the picture and set it on a page surrounded by the colorful blooms and leaves.  I added a few stamped sentiments from the Pysanka stamp set around the page to complete it!



This layout is ready for Spring!  all the warm tones in the SWEET NOTHING flowers paired with  the new papers  is just magical.


Happy 19 Birthday:




The new HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU stamp set was a favorite since the first moment the new catalogue was shared with us. I love how versatile it is and how much it will be used in cardmaking and memory keeping.  I paired it up with Obsidian ink to create the background stamping, and then added a bit of watercolor to the layout.



I used the new FOR THE LOVE OF STRIPES set A and CHEERFUL MEADOW to back the picture and also cut the numbers for the title work using the bold numeral die set.   This page came together so easily, and you can watch the process video in the following video:



Stay Strong:




The new paper packs are amazing. The florals in the FUCHSIA SOIRE PAPER PACK was the perfect complement to the flowery pair of pants she is wearing in this picture, so i pulled my scissors and cut away one of the larger images, so i can embellish the picture part of this layout.



I pulled the yellow grid paper from the CHEERFUL MEADOW PAPER PACK to back the picture and also create the title card for the pocket page.  I used the ALL THINGS ORANGE to stamp the title on the card.


To bring more of the flowers to the page, i used one of the papers to add my lines of journal  then trimmed it to fit in the pocket of the layout.   Love how easy this came together with just the paper packs a little stamping.


Thank You for Being You:





The next two layouts follow the same design, but here is why I love Altenew in my memory keeping, as their products are so versatile than you can get totally different pages by just changing the stamp set. 



I covered a piece of cardstock with the Gold Peach Washi tape, and then used the new LINE ART stamp set to frame the journaling part of the page.  The  simple design of the stamp shows nicely on the watercolor background.  The title comes from the SWEET NOTHINGS stamp set and the butterfly comes from the ALL THINGS ORANGE Stamp set. 



I enlarged the picture and set it on a large tag.  All it needed was a gold embossed image of the LINE ART stamp set to complete the layout, but let me show you the other design and how a simple stamp changes completely the look of the page.


Stay Strong:




I used the b side of the previous tag to add my lines of journal this time.  But instead of stamping the images onto the paper, i chose to stamp the FABULOUS FLORETS stamp set onto papers from the FUCHSIA SOIRE Paper Pack  and fussy cut the images. A bit of white gel pen help to define the centers of all the flowers.



I wanted to add lots of movement to the flowers, so i used the WILDFLOWER DOODLES STAMP SET and Obsidian ink to add a few branches and leaves to the background, thus setting the placement for the flowers. This time, i used a small picture and added more stamped flowers around it.



I backed the picture with a paper from the  A LOVE FOR PAPER STRIPES set A and then added a sentiment and title to the layout using the ALL THINGS ORANGE Stamp set.   I love how this turned out and how easy i could transform a design by switching the Altenew Stamp set.
