The Stampwheel is an innovative tool, it is the perfect craft room companion for the everyday crafter who wants a stamping mount for a quick, clever, and efficient way to stamp. It has a rotational clear plate that locks into place at 16 equal intervals. The ‘Sticky Mat’ is made out of high-quality photopolymer, which will ensure that your paper and stencils stay exactly where you want them! Now, you can easily create a wreath, layer stamps, mirror stamps, use stencils, & more. With every flip, you can enjoy consistent results with minimal effort and maximum creativity! 

For my today’s card I used it to create a floral frame layout.

thank you

I placed my card base slightly at the top of the platform and stamped my image from Simple Beauty Stamp Set four times, then I moved my card down and added two top images.

Next, I used markers from Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set E and Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set F to colour my images in. I also added some small leaf stamp from the Simple Beauty Stamp Set and a sentiment from Thank You Builder Stamp Set. I finished my card with some black ink splatters.

thank you

Altenew March 2023 Stamp/Die/Stencil & More Release Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway


Hello everyone and welcome to the Altenew March 2023 Stamp/Die/Stencil & More Release Blog Hop #2! If you came here from Altenew Blog, then you are on the right track. Otherwise, go back and start from there, as you won't want to miss anything!

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a *$100 gift certificate to 1 lucky winner and a $20 gift certificate to 10 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 03/12/2023 for a chance to win. Altenew will draw 11 random winners from the comments left on each stop of this blog hop and announce the winners on the Altenew Winners Page on 03/13/2023. *The winner of the $100 gift certificate will be chosen from comments left on the Altenew blog.

For today’s blog hop I created a card using the newly released Zero-Waste Leaf Pattern Die. It’s a great cover die with artistically arranged branches that we could fit within an A2 card. Not only will you get eight branches of leaves and some confetti, but you can also use the negative piece as a backdrop on your project!

thank you

I started by die cutting my pattern out of white cardstock and used blending brushes and inks to colour them in. I used green shades from Spring Bouquet Crisp Dye Ink Oval Bundle and blue from Tranquility Crisp Dye Ink Oval Bundle. I also added some black ink splatters to finish the look. Next, I used the negative piece of the pattern that was remaining as my template to place all the die cuts.

thank you

To finish my card off, I added some scraps of patterned paper (from Verdant Walk 6x6 Paper Pack) and my sentiment from Label Love Stamp Set.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is April Leithner!
