Hello and welcome to the Altenew July Release Blog Hop! If you came here from Jocelyn's blog, then you are on the right track. Otherwise, go back to Altenew blog and start from there, as you won't want to miss anything!

There are nine new fabulous stamp sets being released today and they are now available for purchase at the Altenew online store.

To celebrate this release, Altenew will draw three winners who will each receive a $50 gift certificate to their online store. Just leave a comment on the Altenew blog by Friday, July 31 11:59pm EST for a chance to win. The winners will be announced on Saturday, August 1st.

But that's not all! In addition, one winner will be chosen from the comments left on this blog post and will receive a $30 gift certificate!

Now onto my cards, here's what I came up with for today's hop:

My first card features the Fresh Freesia set. I stamped flowers in black and coloured them a little. To finish my card off, I added some delicate colour splatters.

It took me less than ten minutes to create the next two cards. They have pretty same design, I only used different colours and greetings. And these adorable stamps are from the Baby Zoo set!

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Marika and I can't wait to see what she came up with today!

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Studio Calico July Reveal

Hi everyone! I'm bit late with my reveal projects this month, but as they say, better late than never, right? Last week Studio Calico revealed their July kits along with launching a new website. If you are not familiar with all the changes that have taken place check out the Studio Calico blog for more details.

Today, I’m sharing a few cards I made using the Fairground main card kit and add-ons.

My first card is created with a stamp set from the main kit. I stamped images with black and added some colour with solid stamps:

For the next card I used the same set to create a fun pattern and used watercolours to colour it.

My next card is super quick and easy to create. I fussy cut some squares from the patterned paper pad and added a sentiment made with the Blackout alpha dies.

I love this month’s washi tape add-on. I used it to create a background for my last card. To finish it off I added a sentiment created with the Hey Girl craft die and gold stars stickers.

I had so much fun playing with this month's kit and I hope you feel inspired to check out these new products! You can also pop over to the Studio Calico gallery for more inspiration and ideas from the Creative Team!

Thanks for stopping by today!
