There is a bunch of fabulous holiday stamps and dies being released today and all are now available for purchase at the Altenew online store. To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 9/19/2018 for a chance to win. 6 winners will be announced on the Altenew blogs on 9/22/2018.

In addition, one winner will be chosen from the comments left on this blog post and will receive a $30 gift certificate!

Today I've created two simple cards to share with you. For my first card, I used the new Bountiful Branch Stamp Set to create a very quick and simple card. I decided to go for a traditional red and green colour combo and used the following Altenew inks: Rouge, Crimson and Velvet for berries and Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades and Evergreen for the leaves.

season's greetings

For my second card I combined the Bountiful Branch Set with a sentiment from Mini Christmas Stamp Set. This time I decided to go for a monochromatic, neutral look and I used stamps from the Bountiful Branch Set with the Altenew Rock Collection Mini Cube Set to create my background. The sentiment was heat embossed with Rose Gold Crisp Embossing Powder.
