First I stamped my floral background using the following Altenew Crisp Dye Inks: Sea Glass and Frayed Leaf for the first layer, Volcano Lakes for the second and Caribbean Sky for the leaves. Next I used Clear Embossing Ink for the last layers of flowers and some leaves and heat embossed them in gold embossing powder to add some texture and shine to my background.

Altenew September 2017 Release Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway

Hello everyone and welcome to the Altenew September Release Blog Hop, Day 2! If you came here from Erum’s blog, then you are on the right track. Otherwise, go back to Altenew Scrapbook Blog and start from there, as you won't want to miss anything!

There are lots of new products being released today! Some fabulous stamp sets, dies and re-inkers and they are now available for purchase at the Altenew online store.

To celebrate this release, Altenew will draw three lucky winners who will each receive a $50 gift certificate to their online store. Please leave a comment on the Altenew Scrapbook Blog by Thursday, October 5th at 11:59 pm EDT for a chance to win. The winners will be announced on the Altenew Scrapbook Blog on Saturday, October 7th.

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

For today’s blog hop I’ve created three cards to share with you. For my first card, I used a beautiful floral set called Winter Rose along with new Framed Die Set.

I used two shades of green to stamp leaves in the centre of my card and added my frame die cut popped with 3d foam tape. I also used the remaining centre of the die cut and stamped my sentiment on it.

To create my second card I used Majestic Mistletoe Stamp Set. I chose to use here the following Altenew Crisp Dye Inks: Sea Glass, Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades and Evergreen for the leaves along with Puffy Heart and Buttercream for the berries.

I started by stamping the sentiment in black, and then I created my background. To finish my card I used black marker to add little dots on the berries.

My last card is very quick and simple. I used here stamps from Winter Rose set to create a very CAS Christmas card.

I inked leaves with Forest Glades and Evergreen and used Crimson and Ruby Red for the flower and stamped a floral arrangement. The sentiment comes from Peace on Earth Stamp Set and was stamped with Ruby Red ink.




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

Now let me share what I have created for today's blog hop. For my first card I used the beautiful Doodled Lace Cover Die. I’m in love with this die, it has a perfectly delicate and feminine look. 

I cut the lace out of white cardstock and lightly brushed over it with a sponge dauber using Sand Dunes ink. Then I used Altenew pink marker to add a little bit more colour and adhered to kraft cardstock base. My XO sentiment was cut out of glitter gold cardstock with Bold Alphabet die set.

For my next card I used a great frame stamp from the Framed Stamp Set. First I stamped a floral background using Floral Fantasy set and some Altenew Crisp Dye inks: Pink Diamond, Cotton Candy, Peach Perfect, Sand Dunes, Sea Glass, Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades.

Then I stamped in black and fussy cut the frame. The “thank you” sentiment comes from the Heartfelt Sentiments stamp set.

For my last project I used the Envelope Liner Die Set and created a matching envelope for the previous card. I again used the Floral Fantasy stamp set and the same ink pads to create my background. A tiny leaf on the back of the envelope was stamped with Sand Dunes ink and cut out using Fantasy Floral Die set.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Kimberly Crawford 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!
