Altenew May 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

18 May 2023

Welcome to the May 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series. If you have come from Virginia's blog your are right on track. You can start the hop over on Altenew Card Blog.

Today I have several cards to share with you. The first one was created with the Craft A Flower Fragrant Peony Layering Die Set. I opted to use the new Glitter Gradient Cardstock (Golden Sunrise and Blue Crystals). Some metallic watercolours create a fun backdrop for the pretty flowers.

The next series of cards were created with the Craft Your Life Project Kit. The first two cards were made with the Marigold Butterflies Set. If you subscribe this month you will get the June release which it the Botanical Line Art Set. I have posted a card featuring that set.

This month I was in a glittery mood so one again I used some metallic watercolours. I coloured the Embossing Folder from the Marigold Butterflies Set with Altenew's Metallic Water colours and added a Butterfly which I stamped in black and coloured in using some crisp inks and a blending tool. This is an easy way to colour in your stamped images.

As I had made several butterflies I created a second card using two of them. I added a vertical element using Slim Washi tape which I placed in the centre of the card. A sentiment in the middle finishes it off.

Here is a look at the June Craft A Life release. This line art is so fun. I used it as outline and then coloured the petals and leaves using zentangle motifs.

Altenew March 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

20 March 2023

Welcome to the March Marvelous Monthly Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have come form Ishani's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Blog.

For today's hop I created a layout using the Craft-Your-Life Delicate Garden Set. This set is perfect for scrapbooking as it comes with large flowers, an easy to use colouring stencil and a coordinating die. This meant I was able to make lots of floral images quickly. I can also see myself using this set for cards too.

For my florals I used Martian Terrain Crisp ink and greens from the Tropical Forest Crisp Ink Set. I also used a bit of yellow (Buttercream and Mango Smoothie).

The layout is very simple:

Two sheets of 6X6 paper from the Altenew Blends 6X6 paper pack,
an old doily
the coloured floral images
some scalloped die cuts as well as some butterflies (Mix&Match Mariposa Set).

For my title I stamped HELLO onto some white cardstock and doodled some lines around the borders.

What is your favourite from this release?

Altenew January 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

17 January 2023

Hello Altenew friends and welcome to the January 2023 Subscription Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Mindy Eggen's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop on the Altenew blog.

I created two cards for this release. The first features the Paint A Flower Carefree Stamp Set. I decided to create a simple card using two shades of green and two shades of blue/purple. I picked out these shades from my Watercolor Brush Markers from Altenew.

To add a little bit of detail and create a border, I doodled a double line around the card's edges and added a hint of silver watercolour paint in the centres of the flowers.

My second card uses the Spark Joy Fluttering Butterflies Set. I didn't use the foil plate this time but decided to doodle around the butterflies to create the detail.

Which is your favourite? Don't forget that you can sing up for your favourite subscription.

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

12 November 2022

Welcome to the November 2022 Marvelous Monthly Blog Hop and Giveaway. I am the last stop on the blog hop but if you have just joined you can start the hop over on the Altenew Blog. If you have hopped over from Jenny Colacicco's blog, you are almost done.

I created two projects with this month's release (and another which you have already seen on the Altenew Card blog).

My first card was created with the Craft You Life Bewitching Rose Project Kit. I love how easy it is to use these sets and create pretty projects.

My my card I used the following products:

Craft You Life Bewitching Rose Project Kit
Celebrate 6x6 Paper Pack
Spring Bouquet Crisp Ink Set
Tropical Forest Crisp Ink Set
Warm and Cozy Crisp Ink Set
Permanent Black Ink

I embossed the image using a subtle patterned paper from the Celebrate 6x6 Paper Pack. Then I used the coordinating stencil and coloured the different elements using an array of inks. The I cut out my image and popped it on some patterned paper using Altenew Foam Tape. I love how the patterned paper still shows through the layers of ink.

For my second project I used the Craft A Flower Sulfur Cosmos. I love this set so so much. I created my own coloured paper using Altenew Watercolour Brush Markers and some watercolour paper.

This set is super easy to put together and the florals are such a great size.

Curious to see how I created this card. Just watch the video below or view it on YouTube in HD.

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

12 September 2022

Welcome to the September Marvellous Monthly Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Kinjal Trivedi's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

For this hop I created two projects. A layout using the Craft A Flower tulip Full Bloom Set and a card with the Paint A Flower Hibiscus.

For my card, I started by stamping the image onto some watercolour paper. Then I colour the images with the Altenew Watercolour Brush markers.

I cut out the the floral images with my scissors and placed them on some patterned paper from the Celebrate Collection.

For my layout I also used the Celebrate Collection. I cut out the tulip floral shapes from patterned paper and made sure to have different hues of pink and peach. I put together the flowers which was very easy as the parts have little punched shapes that will guide you. All I had to do was assemble the pieces and then create my layout.

The Craft A Flower Dies are my favourites to use on my layouts. They make crafting super easy and fun and instantly fill up a scrapbook page.
