Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Iris & Watercolor Essential Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

22 March 2020





Welcome to the Paint A Flower Iris Release. If you have hopped over from Norine Borys's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.


I am really enjoying the Paint a Flower sets. They help me practise my colouring skills. For this set, I used the new Watercolor Essential Set. 

I created a simple stamped card and went with the classic colours one would associate with an iris. I mixed colours to create a purple colour I wanted to use. The watercolours mix easily. This is an excellent set to start water colouring. 


I'm really happy with how the colours turned out especially the yellow centres. I added a couple of ink splatters and sequins for extra detail and pops of colours.

You can see how I created this card in the video below.

Altenew March 2020 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

17 March 2020

Welcome to the March 17th 2020 blog hop and giveaway. If you have come from Nicole Watt's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop on Altenew Card Blog.

Today's release is AMAZING. As a scrapbooker, I LOVE patterned papers and these 6X6 Paper Packs are STUNNING. The bright colours are perfect for Spring which is just around the corner. 
In Belgium, we are currently being urged to stay home so having some pretty papers to craft with is ideal to keep busy. 
For today's hop, I created a pocket page to go with the layout I created for the Altenew Scrapbook Blog. 

I cut out the papers to fit my pockets and created embellishments but cutting out flowers from the patterned papers. I love the versatility of a pretty paper. 

By layering patterns, I was able to create different looks that still work together. It is really easy to do and I love the look of a double-page spread. 

You can see how I created this layout in the video below or watch it in HD on Youtube.

Altenew March 2020 Washi Tapes Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

10 March 2020


 Welcome to the Altenew March 2020 Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Mindy Eggen 's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

Today's release is probably my favourite because it features one of my favourite Altenew products: WASHI TAPE.



For my layout I used the following selection of tapes:
  • Painted Dots Washi Tape
  • Rose Petal Washi Tape
  • Painted Grid Washi tape


How to:

  1. Line up strips of Rose Petal Washi Tape on some smooth cardstock. I overlapped the edges about 1/8" of an inch and started with the lightest colours working my way towards the darkest shade going back to light.
  2. Cut strips of the newly created background.
  3. Place them on your project in alternating directions to create a "woven" look. 
  4. Add contrasting tape to either side.
  5. Choose a photo and fun embellishments. I cut out some flower shapes from papers from the 6X6 Alluring Blooms Paper Pack.



Prizes:
To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 3/18/2020 for a chance to win.
