Altenew Build-A-Flower: Hawaiian Coral Release Blog Hop

November 1, 2020

Hey everyone. Today is the Altenew Build-A- Flower Hawaiian Coral release blog hop. I’m so excited to be sharing this amazing stamp set with you today. You should have arrived here from Svitlana’s blog.

The beautiful Altenew Build-A-Flower Hawaiian Coral stamp set is stunning!! Big bold floral that will pop off your next card. Using an assortment of Altenew inks, I stamped my image onto white card stock. To give it a graphic feel, I used a yellow Copic maker to color around the flower on a diagonal line. This really enhances the flower.

After I had the coloring done, I stamped one of the sentiments along the diagonal line! This is a perfect way to add a sentiment that won’t interfere with your floral image.

For added interest I decided to run this panel through my die cutting machine with a stitched border die. I layered this to a kraft card panel and then to a white card base. Just a few sequins and my card was complete.

Let’s get into the giveaways and blog hop. To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog by 11/06/2020 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 Winners Page on 11/09/2020.

I hope you are inspired by my card using the Build-A-Flower Hawaiian Coral stamp set. Thanks for stopping by everyone. Have a great day and good luck!

Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Carnations & Woodless Watercolor Pencils Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

October 22, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m participating in the Altenew – Paint A Flower Sunflower blog hop today. You should have arrived here from Tania’s blog. The Paint A Flower Sunflower is absolutely stunning and creates beautiful cards. Let me share what I’ve created.

For my card today I used the newly released Woodless Watercolor Pencils and the Paint-A-Flower Sunflower. I love sunflowers so this stamp set was perfect for me to color. With the new woodless pencils that I am currently obsessed with it was easy to create a gorgeous card.

Stamping my image in brown ink, I pulled a few of the watercolor pencils out and began to add color to my image. I pulled color directly from the pencil and also by adding color directly to the paper. Mixing tones of orange, yellow and greens allowed my palette to rest easily on my off white watercolor paper.

I made sure to build up my color gradually instead of all at once. Making sure to heat set the color before adding more. Once I had the last round of color on my image I heat set it once again.

Wanting to pull in some brown from the watercolor panel, I trimmed down my watercolor paper and layered it on a piece of dark brown cardstock. I only allowed the brown color to peek through at the top and left side of the image. To finish off my card I stamped a sentiment from the Paint-A-Flower Sunflower set and added a few gold baubles. I placed my panel onto a white card base.

In case you thought your watercoloring collection couldn’t get any better, think again. Create stunning watercolor effects with our Woodless Watercolor Pencils! This set includes a wide range of beautiful, vibrant colors, and each pencil comes pre-sharpened and ready to use. You can either apply the color onto paper and blend with a wet brush, or pick it up with the brush directly from the pencil. The pigment dissolves smoothly, leaving no marks on the paper, and the colors can be easily mixed and layered for various effects.

This set contains 24 pencils that come in 24 unique colors. The Woodless Watercolor Pencil 24 set is $44.99 and well worth the price. Here is an color swatch so you can see the colors. If the woodless watercolor pencils are out of stock make sure to sign up for a back in stock notification email on a product page.

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog by 10/28/2020 for a chance to win. We’ll 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 Winners Page on 10/30/2020.

October 2020 Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop

October 19, 2020

Morning peeps. Today is the October 2020 Stand-Alone Dies Release blog hop for Altenew. Get ready for some beautiful dies to create with. You should have arrived here from Jaycee’s blog. Let’s get into the cards!

For my first card I used the Modern Fireplace Layering Die set. This die is perfect for those cozy at home cards. You can create your own fireplace and never have to put a hole in your walls. LOL Okay that was cheesy! I love this die as it’s like interior design for me.

I kept my card in a cool color tone with just a pop of color. Oh that beautiful JOY you see onto of the mantel was die cut using the new Linear Pathway Alpha Solid die set.

For the “tiles” in the fire place, I covered them with glossy accents to make them shiny. It’s like home design on a card. LOVE IT!

My next card was created by using the Linear Pathway Alpha Outline Dies. They work perfectly for a layered looked using the Linear Pathway Alpha Solid dies.

Creating a backdrop of my alpha dies was easy using the Birch Forest stamp from Altenew. To see this full stamp click here to see my post from a few weeks ago.

The letters were cut out of red glitter cardstock. I mean we all need some sparkle in our life right? Layering this panel on black cardstock really allow the panel to pop!
