Altenew August 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

12 August 2022

Welcome to August 2022 Marvellous Monthly Series Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Caly Person's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

This month I got two products:

Craft-a-Flower Open Peony
Build-a-Garden Daffodil Delight

Peonies are my favourite flower. There are so many varieties but my favourite ones are those that are very dense and have lots of petals. The Craft-a-Flower set reminded me of those pretty layered flowers.

I decided to keep the card very white and create a yellow flower. For extra detail I popped the flower onto an embossed card base which I embossed using the Flower Bed Embossing Folder.

The second card was created with the Build-A-Garden Daffodil Delight. I created yellow and pink toned flowers and added some thin washi tape for detail. The colouring stencils make it super easy. I prefer using stencils to layered stamping.

What is your favourite out of the bunch?

Altenew August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

4 August 2022

Welcome to the Bold & Beautiful Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Nicole Watt's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog .

For today's release I created a card with the Happy Flowers Stamp Set and One Go Birthday Greetings Die.

Supplies:

Misti Stamp Positionner (or similar tool)
Sweet Dreams Crisp Ink Set
Pocket Full of Sunshine Crisp Ink Set
Mango Smoothie Artist Marker
Die Cutting tool
White cardstock

How to:

Cut out a piece of white cardstock to a card size.
Place onto your stamp positionner.
Take the first layer of the stamp of the larger flower and place it on the bottom left hand corner. Stamp the first colour (lighter shade).
Flip your card base 180° and repeat the process with the same colour. It will create a mirror image.
Remove the first stamp and place the second layer. Stamp with a darker shade. Then add the centre layers. Flipping the card each time.
Continue filling the edges of the card. Be mindful to change the stamp's position do the flower isn't always in the same position and to overlap over the edges.
Cut out some greeting strips with the One Go Birthday Greetings Die. Stamp a sentiment on it.
Place it on the card. I added some yellow cardstock to make it stand out.
To fill up any white space add some dots with an Artist Marker. I used Mango Smoothie.

Altenew July 2022 Summer Sunshine Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

1 July 2022

Welcome to the Summer Sunshine Blog Hop with Altenew. If you have hopped over from Therese Calvird's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Blog.

Summer is finally here and after a very tiring and heavy couple of months, I hope this summer break will give my family and I some time to recuperate. My dad's passing hit us so hard and every day is still filled with lots of sadness but we are able to enjoy being together. One of our favourite activities is just relaxing in the garden with a refreshing drink. The Mod Fruit Bowl Stamp set reminds me of those cool refreshing drinks and it's the perfect stamp to create a summery card.

Supplies:

Mod Fruit Bowl Stamp Set
Precision pen
Altenew Obsidian Black Ink
Maple Yellow and Fresh Lemon Crisp Inks (from the Pocketful of Sunshine set)
Just Green and Firefly (from the Green Meadows Set)
Yellow Cardstock
White Smooth Cardstock

How to:

Stamp the larger lemon in the bottom left hand corner.
Add smaller stamps around it. You can do the whole card base or just one corner. Another option is to stamp two opposite corners. The possibilities are endless.
Doodle lines around the edges.
Add a sentiment.
Cut a small strip of yellow cardstock and adhere it to the cardstock for a pop of colour.
