Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway (over $2,000 in Total Prizes)

April 6, 2022

Welcome to the Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3! This is a hop with over $2,000 in total prizes. You should have arrived here from Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog. I have so much to share with you today so let’s get started.

 

 

My anniversary card for the Altenew hop was created using the Paint-A-Flower Sweet Pea stamp set. This stamp is so precious and easy to color. The sweet pea holds the symbolic meaning of blissful pleasure. Its upright, clumping flower clusters also symbolize good wishes, friendship, kindness, and goodbyes. It’s such a beautiful flower to gift someone who might be moving away or as a gift of new friendship. A simple watercolor was with the Altenew Woodless Watercolor Pencils made coloring this flower so easy.

 

A simple sentiment offset from the sweet pea keeps the card simple and elegant. With a light splatter of gray watercolor creating just a little texture.

Clean and simple with just a hint of color from the pencils and this card was almost complete. To finish off the card I trimmed down the white panel so I could have a midtone gray card stock peek behind the panel before I placed it on a white card base.

Now let’s get into the giveaways and offers.  Altenew is offering FREE U.S. shipping with code HAPPY8TH or $8 OFF international shipping with code ANNIV22 at checkout.

Morning everyone. I’m sharing a sparkly card I m Morning everyone. I’m sharing a sparkly card I made using products from the @heroarts Unity Collection. 

This card is to remind my family and friends that they matter and are amazing human being. 

The Unity Collection is the perfect way to share cards with your friends that feel underrepresented! The core of this collection is just that. Share love and respect to people who may not look like you, think like you or embrace life like you. We all want to be seen and heard in this world. 

Also who won’t want a sparkly card to showcase in their space. And a rainbow at that!!

To wrap up the Valentine's Day card series for 202 To wrap up the Valentine's Day card series for 2023, I decided to pull out my alcohol inks that I have not played with in such a long time. As a HUGE morning coffee lover, I decided to share this non traditional color palette for my last card.

The tutorial up is on my Youtube with a few tips and tricks to make a super fun and coffee inspired card. You can find the link in my profile. The products that I used will also be link there.

I do have a favorite out of these two cards. Can you guess which one? Check out the tutorial to see just how easy these cards were to put together. (link in bio)

Morning everyone. It's another day for valentine c Morning everyone. It's another day for valentine cards. In today's tutorial I made a trio of valentine cards from one background. This was so easy and so much fun to make. Where are my Distress Oxide Spray lovers?

With three colors of @tim_holtz Distress Oxide Sprays these cards were created. I don't have all the sprays and are "collecting" them little by little. The fear of using these sprays have been unleashed. 😂😂😂 After watching more and more videos from Tim, my nervousness of "messing it up" has been replaced by "oh that's so pretty". 

By using just two die cuts from products from the January 2023 release from @heroarts

The link for the tutorial is in the bio and I hope I inspire you to start creating your Valentine's Day Cards.
