Altenew Celebrating Parents Card Drive Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello everyone and welcome to the Altenew Celebrating Parents Card Drive Blog Hop! If you came here from Virginia Lu’s blog, then you are on the right track. Otherwise, go back to the Altenew Card Blog and start from there, as you won't want to miss anything!

Altenew is hosting this special blog hop, to invite you to participate in a special card drive to help bring some love and happiness to others! Please visit the Celebrating Parents Card Drive blog post for more detail of how you can get involved!

In addition, Altenew has chosen four stamp sets that are great for your Mother’s Day and Father’s Day projects: Best Dad, Painted Rose, Extra Special, Lotus, Cross Stitch Flower, and Best Mom. 20% of the profits from these stamp sets until Father’s Day, June 16th, 2019, will be donated to the Food Bank of Central New York to support seniors in need.

To celebrate this blog hop, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog for a chance to win. Altenew will also draw a winner to receive a $15 gift certificate from the comments left on each designer’s blog on the blog hop list below. All winners will be announced on the Altenew Card Blog on 4/17/2019.

For my today's card I chose to create a very simple and quick project, perfect for mass-producing and easy to post.

I simply used a beautiful paper from Verdant Walk 6x6 Paper Pack as a background of my card. You never can't go wrong with painted florals in pastel tones! To finish it, I used the Fine Alphabet Die Set to die-cut my sentiment (I cut out three layers for a little dimension).

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is TaeEun Yoo!

Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

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

There is a new addition to the Altenew Watercolour Brush Markers being released today and they are now available for purchase at the Altenew online store. The Winter Wonderland Set include 10 new colours that perfectly coordinates with Altenew line of inks.

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $40 gift certificate to six lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by Wednesday, January 16th for a chance to win. Six winners will be announced on the Altenew blogs on 1/19/2019.

In addition, one winner will be chosen from the comments left on this blog post and will receive a $20 gift certificate.

For today’s blog hop I’ve created a clean and simple card combining the new Watercolour Brush Markers with the Sweetest Peas Stamp Set.

I started by stamping flowers onto a watercolour paper and used markers from the new set to do some colouring. I used here two colours: Lagoon and Persian Blue and diluted them with water for a softer look. Next, I fussy cut the elements and combined them with a sentiment die cut from Circled Sentiments Stamp Set. As a last step, I used the same colours to add some splatters to my background and arranged my elements as seen.
