Altenew November 2022 Simply Scientific Stamps/Dies/Stencils Release + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW SIMPLY SCIENTIFIC STAMPS/DIES/STENCILS RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Karen Brown's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

It is that time of the month, when we all ooh, and ahh over the new products that Altenew is releasing... There is so much to choose from, and it was an easy/hard choice to only select a few to work with. Let me show you what I have created with my selection:

I fell in love with the new BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATIONS Stamp/Stencil/DieBundle. It is amazing! I used the entire bundle to create the cover of my May Family Journal,

I colored the flowers, and die cut them separately. This helped to create the dimension in the spread!! Honestly, totally love the spread!

Another one of my favorites for the month is the ROSE BUDS Complete Bundle. I love having the a way to create a background and embellishments in one step!

This new bundle is easy to work with, and the results are infinite... Just imagine all you can create with it!

Another one of my favorite sets from this year is the new DANCING SUNFLOWERS Complete Bundle. I LOVE THIS SET!

I used the DANCING SUNFLOWERS Complete Bundle to create the embellishments for this double pocket spread. The blooms are large and detailed!!!

I paired the new DAISY TILES 3D Embossing Folder with the large Dancing Sunflowers in the small pocket in the spread. I just love how easy this came together!

Finally, I am using the new PINE FOREST Complete Bundle in this new card. As soon as I saw the new stencil set, I quickly requested it as I love the matching embossing folder, and see all that I can create with it.

I used the Pocketful of Sunshine washi set and inks to bring an autumnal feel to the card. I love how easy you can transform the embossed trees with just a bit of ink.

I am sure you are also trying to choose favorite products from this SIMPLY SCIENTIFIC Release. There is so much goodness to choose from!!!

Pinkfresh Studio June 2022 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

Hi there!

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO JUNE 2022 STAMP, DIE, STENCIL, and HOT FOIL RELEASE.

Today, we are celebrating a new set of amazing products from Pinkfresh Studio. This new release is amazing, and filled with so many versatile and beautiful products that you are going to love and feature in your projects.

Let me show you what I have created combining a few of the new products

I fell in love with the new MINI SLIMLINE FRAME DIE SET and wanted to use them as the background for my page. So, I cut about 12 of them from white cardstock, and stacked them together in groups of 3 - this gives me a sturdier and dimensional frame die cut-

The new ORNATE MEDALLIONS COVERPLATE DIE provided the perfect detailed surface to back each of the frames. I simply created two panels, and used Pinkfresh Studio inks to add color to them. I chose to add a soft ombre effect to the coverplate die cuts. Once, I backed the frames with the pieces of the coverplate, then I set them on my layout.

To embellish my layout, I am using the new FOLK FLORAL STEM HOT FOIL PLATE, FOLK FLORAL STEM STENCIL, and FOLK FLORALSTEM DIE along with Pinkfresh Studio inks to create all the flowers for my page. I chose warmer tones for the flowers so that they contrast with the colors of the background.

I used two different tones of foil for the flowers. These were placed behind and in between the frames along with some Leafy Branch Die cuts to add movement to the page. I accent each of the florals with a few Metallic Gold Pearls.

To finish the page, I am using two of the new FOILED SENTIMENTS 3 as my title and sentiment for this layout. I added a few embossed Small Butterflies die cuts just to complete my page.

I hope this has given you a bit of extra inspiration, and you are already picking your favorite products. Remember that Pinkfresh Studio is hosting a generous giveaway to celebrate the release.

-Pinkfresh Studio will be giving away the full release on the Pinkfresh blog & YouTube channel.

-In addition, Pinkfresh Studio will be giving away a total of TEN $25 gift cards along the hop. As per usual with blog hops - the winners will be picked from the comments.

Altenew June 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Hello there!

Welcome to ALTENEW JUNE 2022 MARVELOUS MONTHLY SERIES RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Colleen Balija's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this page for your convenience.

Today marks the first new Monthly Subscription series from Altenew. Now all your favorite subscriptions are available at the same time. Let me show you what I have created with some of this month's products.

The new BUILD-A-GARDEN: NATURE'S MAGIC is gorgeous! I love the delicate design of the flowers in this set, and used them for a new entry in my family journal.

I am using Artist Markers to color my BUILD-A-GARDEN: NATURE's MAGIC flowers. The movement in the design just worked effectively in this design.

The new PAINT-A-FLOWER: FLOWERING DOGWOOD is probably one that I will go back to again and again. I love Dogwood flowers!

Did I mention, I have been loving my Artist Markers lately! Well, I chose to change the usual color of the flowers for this card. Once, I colored the new PAF: FLOWERING DOGWOOD, I trimmed them to add them to the top panel of a card. The sentiment comes from the same stamp set.

I love the new CRAFT-A-FLOWER: CAPE MARGUERITE Layering Die Set. It is so perfect for all sorts of paper crafting projects.

I cut all the pieces from the CAF: CAPE MARGUERITE from white cardstock, and colored them with inks to bring some color to them.. I paired them with an alcohol ink background and a sentiment from the CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: SILK ART. Probably one of my favorite cards of this year!

The new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: SILK ART is one that will also be a constant in my desk. It is perfect for memory keeping.

I used the CYLPK: SILK ART's stencil and Stamp set to create the flowers for my layout. It was so easy to create a background with ink and a blending tool.

But, then there is the 3D Embossing folder from the CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: SILK ART that is just as gorgeous.

I embossed the top and bottom edges of my March Journal cover page with the folder, then used the coordinating stencil to add the color to the embossed area. Truly love the new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: SILK ART!

Remember you can still use Altenew Subscription program to secure your favorite products each month.

Today's Lovely In Lace collection is beautiful, and so perfect for any papercrafting project. Let me show you what I have created:

I am using the new MARIPOSA 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER, a bit of gold ink for my first card.

The new STARBURST GEOMETRIC 3D Embossing Folder and a bit of ink worked just perfectly for this Family Journal entry.

I used the VINTAGE LACE 3D Embossing Folder and Simple Coloring Stencil bundle to create this card.
