Altenew October 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

11 October 2019

Hello and welcome to the October 2019 Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have come from Jaycee Gaspar's blog then you are on the right track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

For today's release, I chose to work with the String Art Butterfly Die. I ran the die through my Altenew Mini Blossom tool and sewed the thread on using two colours. I wanted to have a single butterfly so I decided to cut it out by hand.

I created the background using an ink blending technique and the Linear Stencil. To add some extra detail I picked a cardstock element from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection. A simple sentiment finishes the card off.

Prizes:

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 10/16/2019 for a chance to win.

What has caught your eye? I really love the String Art Dies. They are such fun and so different from our regular dies.

Altenew October 2019 Stencil/Washi Tape/Die Cut Tape Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

3 October 2019

Welcome to the Altenew October 2019 Washi Tape and Stencil Release. If you hopped over from Maryam Perez's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop on the Altenew Card Blog.

There are so many new products in the release. I picked some washi tapes to work with this month.

I created a layout using the Calming Bouquet Washi Tape. I used the tape to create a background and also cut out some flowers as embellishments.

For my title I used the word HAPPY from one of the Script Words Die Sets.

The Mandala Die Set and some butterflies add detail and flow.

You can see how I created the layout in the video below:

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Fuchsia Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

1 October 2019

Welcome to the Build-A-Flower October Blog Hop and Giveaway. This month's BAF set is Fushia. It is a dainty set that will give you many options for your projects. If you have hopped over from LauraJane 's blog you are right on track. You can always start the hop on the Altenew Card Blog.

I didn't know where to start with this set and had no ideas for a card or a layout so I decided to create a piece I could frame. First I created some watercolour circles using the Altenew Watercolor Brush Refills. Once they were dry I stamped the Fuchsia images in similar colours making sure that they would slightly overlap with the watercoloured circles. A sentiment finished off my piece. Now all I have to do is find a matching frame

Simon Says Stamp: STAMPtember Exclusive with Altenew.

24 September 2019

Who doesn't love playing with a new stamp set and this exclusive set from Altenew is such a cute and easy stamp set to use. I whipped up and card in about 15 minutes. My layering was a bit sloppy but I wanted a more artsy and free style look.

The Spring Bouquet Ink Set from Altenew made the process so much easier as I had all the colours I needed in one set.

Head on over to the SimonSayStamp blog for more information and visit the SimonSaysStamp Store.
