Welcome to the July 2023 Marvelous Monthly Blog Hop and giveaway. If you have hopped over from Michelle's blog, you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog . You can shop the whole release HERE.

I created a layout with the July Craft Your Life Project Subscription Kit. This set was the July subscription and isn't available but you can sign up for the August Kit which has a fun tropical vibe. Check it out here: Craft Your Life Project Kit.

For this layout I used the Zero Waste Flower Stencil and Stamp Set. It is such a fun set perfect for cards but also for layouts.

I used some left over die cuts from previous projects as embellishments. The butterflies were created with the Shimmery Butterflies Stencil and Die Set. They add a bit of whimsy.

Altenew May 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

18 May 2023

Welcome to the May 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series. If you have come from Virginia's blog your are right on track. You can start the hop over on Altenew Card Blog.

Today I have several cards to share with you. The first one was created with the Craft A Flower Fragrant Peony Layering Die Set. I opted to use the new Glitter Gradient Cardstock (Golden Sunrise and Blue Crystals). Some metallic watercolours create a fun backdrop for the pretty flowers.

The next series of cards were created with the Craft Your Life Project Kit. The first two cards were made with the Marigold Butterflies Set. If you subscribe this month you will get the June release which it the Botanical Line Art Set. I have posted a card featuring that set.

This month I was in a glittery mood so one again I used some metallic watercolours. I coloured the Embossing Folder from the Marigold Butterflies Set with Altenew's Metallic Water colours and added a Butterfly which I stamped in black and coloured in using some crisp inks and a blending tool. This is an easy way to colour in your stamped images.

As I had made several butterflies I created a second card using two of them. I added a vertical element using Slim Washi tape which I placed in the centre of the card. A sentiment in the middle finishes it off.

Here is a look at the June Craft A Life release. This line art is so fun. I used it as outline and then coloured the petals and leaves using zentangle motifs.

For the 9th anniversary I decided to use my favourite medium: watercolours and I used an easy colouring page from the Exotic Blooms Colouring book. It is for artist markers but I used watercolour marker and the colouring turned out nicely on the paper. FOr the centres I added some gouache.

Altenew March 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

20 March 2023

Welcome to the March Marvelous Monthly Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have come form Ishani's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Blog.

For today's hop I created a layout using the Craft-Your-Life Delicate Garden Set. This set is perfect for scrapbooking as it comes with large flowers, an easy to use colouring stencil and a coordinating die. This meant I was able to make lots of floral images quickly. I can also see myself using this set for cards too.

For my florals I used Martian Terrain Crisp ink and greens from the Tropical Forest Crisp Ink Set. I also used a bit of yellow (Buttercream and Mango Smoothie).

The layout is very simple:

Two sheets of 6X6 paper from the Altenew Blends 6X6 paper pack,
an old doily
the coloured floral images
some scalloped die cuts as well as some butterflies (Mix&Match Mariposa Set).

For my title I stamped HELLO onto some white cardstock and doodled some lines around the borders.

Altenew January 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

17 January 2023

Hello Altenew friends and welcome to the January 2023 Subscription Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Mindy Eggen's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop on the Altenew blog.

I created two cards for this release. The first features the Paint A Flower Carefree Stamp Set. I decided to create a simple card using two shades of green and two shades of blue/purple. I picked out these shades from my Watercolor Brush Markers from Altenew.

To add a little bit of detail and create a border, I doodled a double line around the card's edges and added a hint of silver watercolour paint in the centres of the flowers.

My second card uses the Spark Joy Fluttering Butterflies Set. I didn't use the foil plate this time but decided to doodle around the butterflies to create the detail.

Which is your favourite? Don't forget that you can sing up for your favourite subscription.
