Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Vintage Tapestry Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Hello there!

Welcome to ALTENEW CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: VINTAGE TAPESTRY RELEASE BLOG HOP+GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Teri Wilson's blog, A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

This month's CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: VINTAGE TAPESTRY is gorgeous and so easy to work with. You are going to be coming back to this set time and time again. Let me show you what I have created with the kit!

I love how easy the stamp and stencil layer to create the amazing florals. I used muted tones of inks to create the florals in my spread.

There is so much movement in the design of the florals that it was so easy to cluster them to create a nice flow in the corners of my spread. The sentiments in the stamp set are so perfect for those rainy days and create the perfect title for my page.

I love how this turned out, but of course I did not stop there, and took my chance with a card, too

This time, I am starting with the 3D embossing folder and white cardstock. Once I created the background, then it was all about adding a focal point.

I used tones of blue and tropical greens to build my flowers using the stamp, stencil and die set. I wanted to take advantage of the embossing design to build the focal point of this card.

I finished this card with a simple sentiment, and a few gems. Just love how this turned out! The new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT:VINTAGE TAPESTRY is just a new favorite. Remember you can always subscribe to this program in the Altenew shop.

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Carolina Allspice Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($200 in total prizes)

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW CRAFT-A-FLOWER: CAROLINA ALLSPICE RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Laura Jane's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

Today we are celebrating the release of the new CRAFT-A-FLOWER: CAROLINA ALLSPICE Layering Die Set. This new flower set is beautiful, and the size is perfect for all sorts of paper projects. Let me show you what I have created for today:

I love the size of the flower, it is perfect for a 6x8 layout size. So, I used it on my Grateful 2021 album.

I used gradient cardstock to cut the flowers and leaves, and used the layering guide to put them all together. I used one of them as the sole embellishment in this grid pattern . I cut a few vellum leaves to elongate the design.

I created a cluster with other two of the CAF: CAROLINA ALLSPICE on the other side of the page. This helped to frame my page and add a title. I used the sentiment in the CAF die set to create part of the title of the page ( I cut it a few times and stack it together to create a chipboard like texture).

I just love how this turned out, the new CRAFT-A-FLOWER: CAROLINA ALLSPICE is beautiful and just worked perfectly in my memory keeping.

Altenew NEW Sweet Moments Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes) ($300 in total prizes)

Hi there!
Welcome to ALTENEW NEW SWEET MOMENTS COLLECTION RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Altenew Card Blog . A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience!

Today's release is filled with amazing products that will have you looking for opportunities to create a new project. I had so much fun creating with a few of the products. Let me show you L

The new EUCALYPTUS WREATH HOT FOIL PLATE AND STENCIL BUNDLE is so beautiful and versatile, you can easily use it to create a new entry in my Grateful 30 album. The larger hot foil plate is perfect for a larger size style of documenting. I simply used espresso foil to create the outline of the wreath, then used the new coloring stencil to add color to each leaf.

I carefully fussy cut it , and used it as part of my journal page. I paired this with a large photo and the new TINY SENTIMENTS: HELLO DIE SET and GOLD FOIL POLKA DOT WASHI TAPE (as a sentiment/subtitle). Just love how this turned out!

I used the negative part of the foil paper from the EUCALYPTUS WREATH HOT PLATE to create this card panel. Once again, the new TINY SENTIMENTS: HELLO STAMP AND DIE Bundleto create this beautiful card.

For my last projects, I am using the new SPLATTER HOT FOIL PLATE to create the card panels.

For the first card, I paired the foiled Splatter background with a large floral image. I am using the new HAPPY PETALS STAMP SET and the new BLENDS paper pack to create the floral image. Once I fussy cut it and attached it to the card panel, I stamped a sentiment from the new COLORFUL SOUL to serve as the focal point of the card.

I am using the negative foil paper to create an inverse splatter pattern on a card panel. I then created a band using the new GOLD FOIL PINSTRIPE WASHI TAPE and use it to set a few stamped images. The new ALL THINGS SWEET stamp/die bundle set is amazing, and just perfect for the card. FInally I added a stamped sentiments, and a simple title (COLORFUL SOUL stamp set) and voila!

I hope you had enjoyed these projects, and are working on your wish list items instead, Remember to check Altenew's promotions with purchase.
