Altenew March 2022 Whimsical Fairy Tale Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW MARCH 2022 WHIMSICAL FAIRY TALE COLLECTION BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from LauraJane's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

Today's new embossing folder and stencil collection release is fun and versatile. There is a collection of delicate and unique designs that are sure to bring that magical touch to your projects. Let me show you what I have created with my product choices.

I am a fan of geometrical shapes, so the new CHECKERED DIAMONDS 3D Embossing Folder was probably one of my favorites. I started with blending ink to the background going from light blue to light teal, them running it through my embossing folder.

I used the Bold Cap Alpha dies to cut the title from the embossed cardstock. Then used the left over embossed cardstock to create my journal card for my spread!

For my next project, I took advantage of the new SYLVAN BAROQUE 3D Embossing folder for a slim line card.

I simply embossed the card panel twice. Then added a bit of black ink to all the flowers - this brings the details of the folder-. I added a sentiment and some crystals to complete the project.

The new FLOWER BED 3D Embossing Folder is beautiful. This time, I added the ink to the top flap of folder before running it through the die cutting machine. The results are magical,

I trimmed the embossed panel to fit inside the frame ( Stamp Frame Die set) then used metallic paper to cut the sentiment for the card.

For the last project, I wanted to use the SCALLOPED FRAME 3D Embossing folder to create the background for the card. Once I embossed the panel, I used an ink blending tool to add color to just the frame.

I added one of the CAF- Magnolia as the focal point of the card, then stamped the sentiment to complete it all.

All these projects came together very easily. I am sure you are going to see all the possibilities of the Whimsical Fairy Tale Collection.

Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Lush Garden Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to ALTENEW CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: LUSH GARDEN RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Michelle Short's blog. A complete list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

I might be bias, but the new CRAFT YOUR LIFE KIT: LUSH GARDEN is probably one of the sets I have ever seen. The possibilities are endless due to the amazing design in the stamp/die/stencils/embossing folder. Let me show you what I created with it!

I love the embossing folder in this kit! It is detailed, and with just the right placement for the floral cluster. All I had to do was run teal cardstock through it in my die cutting machine, then rubbing Antique Gold Pigment ink on it.

Once the ink dried, I trimmed the cardstock to fit in an A2 card, then added a small sentiment and a bit of gel accents to the card panel... Just love how it turned out!

For my next project, and probably one of my favorites of this month. I started by using the stencil to create the bases for the flowers ( I followed the layering guide's colors to achieve the colors of the flowers!).

Next, I used the stamp set to create the layering look of the flower, and then finished my design with the outline stamp in Black Obsidian ink. I chose a soft colored background, and cut the bases for my cards and page, then it was all about arranging the flowers in the layout.

I kept my embellishments simple, the flowers are just perfect for the page. LOVE how this turned out!

I am sure that you are all itching to get your hands in this new CRAFT YOUR LIFE KIT: LUSH GARDEN set. Remember you can always sign up to the Altenew Subscription program to secure your monthly kits ( *** the ones coming up are just as gorgeous as this one!***) Just click here for more information
