Altenew Enjoy the Ride Scrapbook Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

26 August 2020

Welcome to the Enjoy the Ride Scrapbook Collection Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Kelly Janes's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

It is always exciting when a new scrapbook collection comes out especially for me as I LOVE scrapbooking. I created two projects with this collection for this hop. A layout which you can see on the Altenew Mixed Media Blog and a card that I will share here.

This card came together really quickly. I used a sheet of patterned paper from the 6*6 paper pad and added one of the Layered Geo Cover Dies on top. It was a leftover from a previous project and I love using up those leftover pieces.

I added a fun die-cut element from the Blooming Ephemera Pack as well as a little sentiment. Super easy and fun.

Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Calla Lily Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

22 August 2020

Welcome to the Paint A Flower Calla Lily Release Blog Hop. If you have hopped over from Kelly Griglione's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

The Paint-A-Flower Sets are probably my favourites as they have really pushed me out of my comfort zone when it comes to colouring whether is be watercolours or markers.

This time I decided to use the Altenew Artist Markers to colour the image. I kept it simple with greens and purples.

For added detail, I coloured in some shadowing. I'm really starting to get the hang of colouring with the artist markers even though it still scares me.

To balance out the card, I added a thin strip of purple cardstock. A super simple card but such fun to make.

Altenew Texture Adventure Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

19 August 2020

Welcome to the Texture Adventure Blog Hop. If you have hopped over from Laurie Willison's blog you are right on track. You can start the blog hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

I created two projects for today's hop. The first is a layout using the Leaf Mix Die Set. This set has fun leaf shapes that you can use as-is or layered.

The layout is very simple and I added a couple of arrows and doodled images for detail. For my title I used a sentiment from the Happy Dreams Stamp Set.

I wanted to use some die cuts from the Celebrate Collection but they were doodles on a grey background and I wanted white ones so I created my own bb copying the designs and cutting them out.

My second project is a card created with the Layered Geo Cover Die A and B which I cut out of some blue and yellow patterned paper.

I wanted to add a fun flower to the centre and had an extra CAF Daisy in my "left-over embellishments" bowl. It was perfect for this colour combo. My sentiment was stamped onto a Featured Sentiments Die.

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 by 8/25/2020 for a chance to win.

Altenew Mixed Media Ink Lovers Blog Hop + Giveaway

13 August 2020

Welcome to the Altenew Mixed Media Inks Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Audrey Yeager 's blog you are right on track and this is also your last stop on the hop. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

The Mixed Media Inks are super fun and I have already used them to customise t-shirts but there are many other possibilities.

I am a teacher and currently planning my lessons for the coming year. This year I have decided to create interactive notebook with my students so I needed one to plan all the interactive elements.

Having a pretty notebook makes it so much more fun so I decided to customise mine with a butterfly stencil and the Mixed media inks. I can't wait to add all my interactive class lessons elements.

I love how the ink sits on the craft paper. It is soft and really pretty.

You can see how I created this cover below or watch it in HD on YouTube.

My next project, is a personalised napkin. I love finding ways to reduce waste and we use washable napkins at home. Having a personalised one with the initial makes it extra special. I love making these when family over. They each have a personalised napkin.
