Altenew August 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway


Welcome to the August 2018 Release and Blog Hop, you should have arrived here from visiting Lilith's Eeckels blog.  
I absolutely love the products in this months release and have 6 projects to share with you today.



 Mega  Greetings 2 Stamp & Die Bundle 


I love the Floral Flurries Washi Tape and it matched my paper choices perfectly!
I cut the 'you' out of Altenew Apple Red and Gold Foil Cardstock then layered them to create a shadow.  Using a Classic Crest Solar White card base, the washi tape is adhered to a panel then layered on a kraft panel.
I stamped the sentiment with Altenew Antique Gold embossing powder and tucked it through the loop of the 'y'.


Featuring this stamp set for the second time I wanted to feature a super quick and easy card.  Pulling a decorative paper from Altenew 6 X 6 Reflections  for my card front. Cutting the word 'happy' from 
Altenew Jet Black cardstock and then spraying a little Altenew Ocean Waves Ink Spray on the paper.
Enamel Dots are from the New Day Kit.
Adding a BIRTHDAY sentiment finishes off the card.




Floral Art Stamp & Die
https://altenew.com/products/floral-art-stamp-die-bundle

This card again is very easy.  I selected the Altenew Dotted Washi Tape and tore a section into 2 pieces, layering those pieces on the upper left edge and lower right edge of the card panel.  I left a small section in the middle to show the torn edge and the white panel underneath.  Stamping the floral pattern on Classic Crest Solar White paper with Altenew Inks.
Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Mountain Mist, Volcano Lake and Jet Black inks were used.
The sentiment is from the new Hello Gorgeous stamp set



Block Print Stamp Set
Geo Frames Stamp & Die Set


When I saw the Block Print Stamp set I knew that I wanted to use it with the Geo Frames Dies and Geo Frames Stamps.
Stamping one of the patterns on three shapes using two colors.  I choose the Rhombus/Parallelogram shape to stamp and die cut.
Altenew 6 X 6 Reflections paper pad has a cool wood look paper that worked perfectly for the card front.  I layered it over Jet Black cardstock and used a Classic Crest Solar White card base.
The 'smile' sentiment was embossed with Altenew White Embossing Powder on Jet Black paper.
Leaves were cut from Forest Glades cardstock the Create-A-Wreath Die set.
Enamel Dots are from the New Day Kit





Inked Flora Stamp & Die Set

Wanting some dimension on this next card, I used a pattern from the new Block Print Stamp set to create a background, Altenew Peach Perfect Ink was used.  Because of the size on the stamp I needed to stamp the pattern 2 times to cover the panel.  To create interest I used the Rhombus/Parallelogram shape from the Geo Frames Die and die-cut the center of the panel.  Rose Gold Embossing powder was added around the opening.
The Inked Floral image and sentiment were also embossed with Rose Gold Embossing powder.
I colored the flower and leaves using Altenew Artist markers Frayed Leaf, Forrest Glades, Peach Perfect, Frosty Pink.
Using Alcohol and a small peace of cloth, I gently textured the flower.
Using foam tape to pop-up the image in the center of card plus placing a few Lucy's Gems for accents.







Hello Gorgeous Stamp & Die Set
Starting with Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and using Altenew Aqualicious and Evening Gray ink, I inked up a background using the Altenew Feeling Dotty Stencil. I stamped and embossed the floral image with Altenew Antique Silver powder on watercolor paper.  
With Altenew inks I watercolored the flower.
Fresh Lemon, Cotton Candy, Coral Bliss, Heart Beat, Rubellite, Frayed Leaf, and Sweet Leaf inks were used.
Assembling the card with foam tape under the flower and the sentiment strip.
Altenew Jet Black ink was used for the sentiment.
