Altenew Fresh Start Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

5 January 2021

 


Welcome to the Fresh Start Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. 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.



Just like that 2020 is over and what a year it has been. It was a weird year which triggered anxiety and panic attacks which I have never had before. Luckily I have my crafting to keep me busy and Altenew had helped a lot with keeping me busy. For today's hop I created two cards. 



My first card combines the Angled Embossing Folder from a previous release and the Airbrushed Flower Stamp and Die Set. I was immediately drawn to this stamp set with the soft airbrush strokes. It creates the daintiest of flowers.

My second card was super easy to make and I got to use up lots of scraps. I cut out the Grid Cover Die from some pretty purple cardstock from my stash and popped it on some patterned paper from the Enchanting Washes 6*6 Paper Pack. Then I fussy cut some flowers from one of the patterned papers from the Cheerful Meadow 6*6 Paper Pack and created a floral clusters.

For the sentiment, I used one from the Simple Greetings Die Set. I love this set as it comes with the word and its shadow.

I love all the blue texture. I wish I could feel that card. I love the purple one. The streaks behind the grid die are awesome.

That angled embossing folder adds a lot of texture and interest to the card

jamella said...

Wow...when i first looked at the grid cover die cut flower cards They didnt look like actual cards..i stopped scrolling down because i was drawn in by freshness and intake of it all including the colors..To me, it looks just its part of a set of flowers or plants planted on an outdoor vine in a greenhouse so you wouldn't know its a card until you open it! Soo Beautiful!

Whiteibis said...

So many favorites in this release. The larger sets are my favorites, as I'm usually lost for filling a card front and these items would definitely fill the front of a card. A great release to start the new year.

Lindsey NY said...

When you did the angles die, how did you get the 2 colors? Or is that just a light reflection? Looks so beautiful. Love those colors.
I understand your anxiety which for me seemed to build as the year went on and family members suffer. I have little hope for 2021 so these blog hops lift my spirits. Thank you for participating.
Thanks to Altenew as well for keeping us looking forward to wonderful new products.
