Hi there!

This new release is just the perfect way to kick the Holiday season project making!  It is just so amazing and versatile.  You are going to love it all,  Let me show you what I have created:




Of course, I pulled my yet-to-be-completed past December albums for this project!  The new FESTIVE TREE STAMP/DIE Bundle is a must-have!  It is already in my 2022 December box, since I just love the design!




The new TINY SENTIMENTS: WISHING STAMP/DIE Bundle (along with the Hello set) is in my list of favorites of the year.  I am using this combo to create the title/journal for this entry!




Let's talk about this gorgeous set: MISTLETOE WREATH STAMP/DIE/STENCIL/EMBOSSING FOLDER Bundle!  It is one of those sets that is going to be used over and over for years to come...  



I love how easy this page came together, and just how flawless that wreath looks on it! 




For my last project, I am using another of my favorites from this release.  The new LAYERED SNOWFLAKE 2 DIE SET is gorgeous.  I mixed it with some of Altenew's Metallic Cardstock to create the sparkly  snowflakes in this card.





I am combining the TINY SENTIMENTS WISHING Die and the FESTIVE TREE Stamp set to create the sentiment for the card.  A few pearls, and  done!

Altenew Get Inky with Alcohol Inks Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

 



Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW GET INKY WITH ALCOHOL INKS BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY.  You are arriving from Seeka's Blog.   A list of all the participants is available at the  bottom of this post for your convenience.




I am so excited to be part of today's blog hop as I love all things messy and inky.   I love mixed media! Today, we are celebrating Alcohol Inks,  there is  something magical and an somehow mysterious on how these react.  The Altenew Alcohol Inks ( Artist Marker Refills) are so easy to work with, and having them in a family of colors allows you to create an infinite variation of colors for your finished projects.




Today, I am working with the Lapis Lazuli Alcohol Ink Bundle and Sugarplum Alcohol Ink Bundle to create my cards!




I started by creating two large Yupo paper sheets with these two color families.   I wanted to get large spaces of saturated color, and other of just hints of color (alcohol is the key for this), plus large spaces where the two color families met.





For this card, I cut  my panel from the blue side of my paper, then used the Caps Bold Alphabet die set to cut the sentiment from the same side of the paper. I used the Mix & Match Mariposa Die Set to cut the butterflies from different parts of the paper, so that they will pop from the sea of blue!





For my next card, I focused on the plum side of the paper.  This time, I am using the Whimsical Garden Layering Die Set to create  the focal point of the card. I cut the flower outline from white cardstock, and then used the coordinating die to cut the filler image from the plum alcohol paper.





I love the little color changing spots in the flowers.  To bring the focus to the florals, I used the Scalloped Frame 3D Embossing folder to create the card panel.   The strip sentiment was cut from matte gold cardstock - with the You Matter Die Set- and backed with a piece of the alcohol paper.




For my last card, I decided to use the area of the Yupo paper where the two color families met.  This creates those transitional puddles of ink, and also a large range of different  color tones.    I reached for the Craft-a-Flower: Open Peony Layering Die Set to cut the leaves.  Using glue dots, I arrange them on the card panel to bring a bit of the color transition to the cascade of leaves.



  

I am using a simple sentiment from the Colorful Soul Stamp set to add the sentiment to the bottom of the card.   This keeps the leaves as the focal point of the card.





I hope these have inspired you to pull your Altenew Alcohol Inks and/or Artist Markers to create projects of your own!
