Altenew December 2023 Inks & Marvelous Monthly Series Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

 

Hi there!
Welcome to ALTENEW DECEMBER 2023 INKS & MARVELOUS MONTHLY SERIES BLOG HOP.   We are celebrating the last release of the year with lots of inspiration and prizes.  You can check all the participants at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

With so much to choose from it was hard and easy to put quite a few projects together.  Let's start with this month's new Ink Releases:

I am using the new GLACIER CAVES FRESH DYE INK SET  along with the Mini Delight Deco Elements for the card panel (the new STAMPWHEEL SQUARE GRID FLIP PLATE made it easy to have the linear elements lined up for the stamping).  

These two layouts feature a few of the new Fresh Dye Ink Colors.  These new re-released colors and new color ink sets are a must in your stash!

Now, let's take a look at some of the new inks in action with some of the new products:

This card features the new SNOWY STARS 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER, and a a few of the new FRESH DYE INKS . 

The new SWEATER PATTERN BUILDER STENCIL and the new FOREST TRAILS FRESH DYE INK were used for this card.

I used the new THROUGH THE WINDOW DIE set to help me create this new spread in my Gratitude Journal.

Now, let's take a look at this month's Marvelous Monthly Subscription products in action:

I love the new BUILD-A-GARDEN: BLOSSOMING FREESIA was perfect to frame the pictures in this layout.

One of my favorites from this release is the new CRAFT-A-FLOWER: CALLA LILLY... It was my grandma's favorite flower, so I  used it in this layout about a past memory. 

I used the last SPARK JOY: ORNAMENTAL BOUQUET for this pocket page layout in my Family Journal.  I used some of the new FRESH DYE INKS to color the flower.

I used the new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: LOVING YOU to create this card.    Remember you can only get this set through the subscription program.

I love butterflies, and the new MINI DELIGHT: DELICATE BUTTERFLY  was a great way to create this pocket page spread in my Gratitude Journal.

Finally, the new DYNAMIC DUO: DAINTY ROSES is probably one of my favorites of this release.   I used it to create this spread following the colors in the package.

That was quite a bit to go through, but there was just so many beautiful products to work with.

Now it is time for a giveaway:

$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $100 gift certificate to 1 lucky winner and a $50 gift certificate to 4 winners!

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:

Altenew March 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

 

Hello there!

Welcome to  ALTENEW MARCH 2023 MARVELOUS MONTHLY SERIES RELEASE BLOG HOP #2 + GIVEAWAY.  Today, we are continuing with more inspiration featuring the latest subscription products.

This month's subscriptions are gorgeous, and of course super versatile.  Let me show you what I have created with them:

First up is the new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: DELICATE GARDEN.   I am totally in love with this set, and used it in my 6x8 Gratitude  journal.   

I used the CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: ELEGANT GARDEN to stamp the background and  create the cards for my spread.  I chose to use the stencil, 3D embossing folder and die to add a bit of texture to the spread.   Just love how it all turned out!

Let's take a look at  the new PAINT A FLOWER: MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORA.   This new stamp set is beautiful, and the size of the flowers makes it ideal for a large floral cluster!

I used a bit of watercolor and added splashes of color to watercolor paper.  Once dried, I stamped the PAINT A FLOWER: MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORA and fussy cut each image for the spread.   

I am in love with the new SPARK JOY: SWEET STRAWBERRIES.   The sweet image and the coordinated stencil make it so easy to customize each foiled panel.

I used two of the SPARK JOY: SWEET STRAWBERRIES design to create my card ( there was as bit of fussy cutting involved).   I also  used the hot foil plate to add the sentiment to my card.

I am using the new CRAFT A FLOWER: SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA Layering Die Set to create this card!  

I used soft tones of pink cardstock for the flowers.   The sentiment for the card comes from the new BUILD A GARDEN: DANCING POPPIES.   It was so easy to put this card together!!

Probably one of my favorite pieces from this month's releases has to be the new BUILD A GARDEN: DANCING POPPIES.   I love the movement in the flowers, and how they all come together in one stamp set, which makes it easy to build all at once.

I used the flowers from the BUILD A GARDEN: DANCING POPPIES to frame the photo in my layout, then used the CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: DELICATE GARDEN stamp set to add the title and extra sentiments to the spread.

Lastly, Iam using the new MINI DELIGHT: CAFE AU LAIT DAHLIA to create this new spread in my Family journal.

I mixed some of the new Trailblazing Inks to create all the floral images from the MINI DELIGHT: CAFE AU LAIT  DAHLIA.  It was all about  nesting my memories in the flower images and a small title from the same stamp set.

I hope this provided some extra information for the latest Marvelous Monthly Releases.  Altenew is so excited to continue celebrating the release, and are holding a generous giveaway.

Altenew March 2023 Stamp/Die/Stencil & More Release Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

 

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW MARCH 2023 STAMP/DIE/STENCIL & MORE RELEASE BLOG HOP #2 + GIVEAWAY.   Today we are celebrating the newly release products from Altenew with inspiration  for you all.

There are so many beautiful products to choose from this Altenew release.  It was so easy and hard to pick a few to work with.   Here is what I have created with my selection of products:

Let's start with the cover page of my Personal Journal for the year... I mixed the new Stunning Sakura stamp set and Stunning Sakura Coloring stencil to create the background of the page.

Next, I am using the new Delicate Dragonflies bundle ( Delicate Dragonflies Details Hot Foil Plate, and Delicate Dragonflies Die set) to create the delicate elements of the page.  I used the hot foil plate and die to create the wings on vellum, then cut their bodies from metallic cardstock.

The new Roaming Pandas bundle is so cute, and just perfect for a card. I used it to create the focal point of this card.  I paired it with the new Bamboo Branches 3D Embossing folder in the background of the card.

I am using one of the new sentiments created with the Vertical Greetings.  I added a pop of extra shine using left over pieces from the Zero-Waste Leaf Pattern to  complete the card.

For this spread, I am using the new Soft Blossoms bundle to create the flower frame in the journaling section of the layout.

The new Sweet Blossom die set to help me complement the look of the spread. I cut all the pieces from white cardstock, and used ink pads to color each piece, so that it matches the look of the page.

I love Altenew's hot foil plates! So, I quickly pulled the new Modern Rainbow  to create a pieces for  this spread on my family's journal album.

To bring more of the pattern of the plate, I am using the new Abstract Patterns Builder stencil to complete my journaling card.

For my final project, I am combining a few products.  I used the Zero- Waste Leaf Pattern Die to cut the panel of the card from gold paper.  I used the new Fine Watercolor Brushes to add blue watercolor to a piece of cardstock..   I used the new Leaf Essentials Die Set to cut a few leaves from this cardstock.

I added one of the new Vertical Greetings Foiled element as the sentiment for this card.    All of these were just a joy to put together using a selection of this release products.

To celebrate the release, Altenew is hosting a generous giveaway:

$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a *$100 gift certificate to 1 lucky winner and a $20 gift certificate to 10 winners!
