Altenew Fresh Start Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

January 5, 2021

Hey everyone. Today is the Altenew Fresh Start Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Amber’s blog. It’s a super fun day to hop arrived this release. For a list of all participants you can head on over to the Altenew blog or see my links below.

I have several cards for you today featuring several products from this release. For my first card I used the Illusion Heart Die. I have to say, this die is awesome for making clean and simple cards. Pulling in a simple color palette of red, black and white kept the card strikingly beautiful.

Keeping with the same colors this card is featuring the Swirl Motif 3D Embossing folder. This embossing folder gives such depth to a card with minimal effort. I used the left over pieces from the Illusions Heart die to finish off this card with a simple sentiment.

I also have a card using the Block Sentiments and Ribbon Wave 3D embossing folder and the Spotted Orchid Stamp Set and coordinating dies.
