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.

 

Paint-A-Flower Sunflower

 

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.

Altenew Paint-A-Floer Sunflower

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!

 

October 2020 Stand Alone Dies

 

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.

October 2020 Stand Alone Dies

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.

October 2020 Stand Alone Dies

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!

 

October 2020 Stand Alone Dies

 

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.

October 2020 Stand Alone Die

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.

October 2020 Stand Alone DIes

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!

October 10, 2020

Good morning everyone.  I’m so excited to celebrating the Simon Says Stamp Make Merry release.  There are awesome new products available today for your holiday card making. Let’s get started.

Simon Says Stamp Make Merry

My projects today feature several new products and I had so much fun making fabulous cards to share with friends and family. I have three to share with you today and they are all super easy to create.

I know you are with me when you want cute tags for your holiday gifts. This adorable tag using the Deco Hat Gnome makes it easy. There are three dies included in this set and the color combinations and designs will be amazing. The background of my tag I used the Fallen Leaves stencil. This stencil has four individual stencils that allow you to use them together or separately.

Simon Says Stamp Make Merry

My second card features the adorable Feline Like Christmas stamp set. It was so easy to make a quick spinner card using this set. The kitties in the stamp set have front and back images so spinner cards or inside out cards are easy to complete.

Simon Says Stamp Make Merry Release

My last card was the easiest to create. I used the beautiful watercolor panels by Suzy’s Watercolor Prints. The fabulous design of these panels are beautiful to watercolor and make super easy cards.

For my card today I pulled out all my happy yellow inks. I used Citrus Burst, Fresh Lemon, Maple Yellow and Honey Drizzle from Altenew. My go to green inks for leaves is Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades and Evergreen also from Altenew. I totally think this rose would look beautiful without all the layers.

I also die cut out the pieces two more times just in white paper and placed them on the corners of my panel keeping the yellow rose as my focal point. Love the simplicity of this card.  The sentiment for the card is from Sincere Greetings from Altenew.

Hey everyone.  Welcome to the Altenew Cozy Creatures Stamps/Dies/Stencils Collection release blog hop!  Whew that was a mouth full.  LOL  You should of arrived here from Theresa’s blog.

Altenew oozy Creatures blog Hop

For my card today I used the Forever Friends stamp set.  This stamp set was right up my alley as I’m a complete coffee junkie. I colored the images to resemble Starbucks and DND cups. Stamping on the cups with the hearts gave me a place for some sparkle using a wink of stella. I also filled the hearts in with crystal glaze.

Altenew Forever Friends

This sentiment from the set is PERFECT for my coffee loving friends! Well I guess it can also be wine in the cusps.  You never know.  LOL

Let's mix things up on our next Valentine's Day Ca Let's mix things up on our next Valentine's Day Cards. I'm using two products I don't think I've ever used together before. Hot foil plates and stencils for the win! I have two very different color palettes today that aren't your traditional red and pink cards.

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.

The January 2023 release for @ginakdesigns is now The January 2023 release for @ginakdesigns is now available. The Terrific Textures stamp designed by @melaniemuenchinger was so much fun to play with.

I stamped the image several times in different color inks from Gina K. Designs. The colors are Passionate Pink, Wild Dandelion, Key Lime, Lucky Clover and Ocean Mist. Next I filled in the area using my W-G 7 @olomarker to change the paper from white to this pretty warm gray color. 

While I was stamping the images, I made sure to leave a section blank where I could place my Happy Birthday sentiment. This was such a great card to great.
