Altenew August 2022 Endless Ambition Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW AUGUST 2022 ENDLESS AMBITION RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Nicole Watt's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

Today's new release is amazing -specially if you are into foiling all things!-. The die, stencils, and Hot foil plates are amazing. Plus -starting August 31- you can also find new foil rolls. Let me show you what I have created

I love the new FLOWERY BOUQUET HOT FOIL & STENCIL BUNDLE! The design of the flower bouquet is perfect for all sorts of projects. I used gold foil to create the journal page for a new entry in my Family Journal. It is so easy to color the image using the Layering coloring stencil to add details to the project.

I am also adding a sentiment from the SWEET SENTIMENTS HOT FOIL PLATE & DIE BUNDLE.

The scripty sentiments (whether you foil or not) are perfect for titles and card sentiments... Just love how this turned out!

I love the new RAINBOW BURST HOT FOIL PLATE & STENCIL BUNDLE is probably one that I will use frequently. The combination of the plate and coloring stencil gives you the chance to add an infinite color combos to your projects with that added shine.

Once again I am reaching for the SWEET SENTIMENTS HOT FOIL PLATE & DIE BUNDLE to create the title for this page. I used the negative piece of the foiled sentiment to create the title of the spread.

For this new cover page for my Personal journal, I am using the new FLOWER WREATH HOT FOIL PLATE & STENCIL BUNDLE to create the focal point of the page.

The new BRASS HOT FOIL ROLL from Altenew ( available after August 31st) brings enough shine to the wreath, and page!

My last project for today is this card featuring the beautiful DREAMY FEATHERS DIE SET. I am totally in love with this die set! IT is so easy to just construct the feather with the die cuts - no need to take little pieces to fill the outlines. Just 3 die cuts and an outline...

Once again, I am reaching for the SWEET SENTIMENTS HOT FOIL PLATE & DIE BUNDLE to create the sentiment for this card!

I hope these have provided some inspiration for the new Altenew products. To celebrate this amazing release, Altenew is hosting a giveaway!!

Altenew Whimsical Wonder Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW WHIMSICAL WONDER STAMP/DIES/STENCILS/EMBOSSING FOLDERS COLLECTION RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Verity Biddlecombe's blog. You can find a list of all the participants at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

There are so many gorgeous products in this month's release that it was hard to pick just a few to work with. From stamps to washi tapes... the products this month are outstanding. So, let's get started...

One of my most loved possessions are my notebooks. So, I decided to show you how I create the covers for my notebooks. For my Gratitude journal, I am using the new BOUQUET OF LOVE Stamp and Die Set to create the focal point. I embossed it on white vellum twice, then glued the pieces together just at the center so that the ends of the leaves can fan out a bit.

I used the BOUQUET OF LOVE die to cut the cardstock corner. This way, I can get a well fitted corner detail for my flower die cut. Before adding the cardstock to the cover page, I wrapped a few of the new FALL HARVEST SLIM WASHI TAPE set to the bottom of the cardstock. Then used alphas from my stash to create the title in Spanish in my cover. Love how it turned out.

Here is another of my journal covers. This time I am using the new SCALLOPED ORNAMENTS STAMP/DIE/STENCIL bundle. I just love how the coloring stencil brings the shape to live without having to line up stamps. All I needed were ink, blending brushes and a white gel pen.

All I needed was a title, for this I combined sentiments from the BOUQUET OF LOVE STAMP SET and Ombre Alpha Stamp set. I just love the color combo, and how it all came together nicely in the page!

The new TIE DYE STAMP SET might be a new favorite in my background stamp collection. The versatility of the stamp is huge. I used it in my journal to create the background and title card. The layering stamp set is just amazing!!

So happy to find the perfect sentiments for the journal page in the MARBLED BLOOM STAMP SET. Just a few extra embellishments complete this spread. Perfect way to document my little cousin's 4th birthday.

I have been loving all the new stencil/die set that Altenew has been releasing lately. I used the new MEADOW BUSH LAYERING STENCIL & DIE bundle to create a new entry for my Gratitude Journal. The new die takes away so much of the fussy cutting work.

To make sure everything in this page pops. I added a piece of the new POURED ACRYLIC 6x6 PAPER PACK behind the picture, then added sentiments from the BOUQUET OF LOVE stamp set. A few enamel dots complete the spread.

One of the new products being released are SUNSHINE GALLERY and WATER GARDEN MARKER TOPPER AND DECAL. If you love organization and a not having to guess about the marker tips of the markers, then this is for you.

I love the organization the new toppers add to my artist marker collections!
