Altenew July 2019 Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

23 July 2019

Welcome to the Altenew July 2019 Stencil Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Caly Person's blog you are right on track. You can start on the Altenew Card Blog.

Today's hop features Altenew's new stencils. For today's hop, I created a card using the Milky Way Stencil.

I used a die-cut from the Halftone Hearts Die Set and masked off the middle section with some masking tape. I then stenciled the larger hearts milky way with some yellow ink.

I placed the heart on some patterned paper from the 6x6 Black & White Paper Pad, added a center panel and a sentiment embossed on some black paper.

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

Decal Release Description

Adorn your projects, phone, computer, journals, furniture, and even your walls with our stunning decals! They feature designs and phrases with an elegance that you have come to expect from Altenew. They have been created with the crafter in mind, yet are versatile and timeless enough for anyone looking to add more beauty to their life.

Removable Adhesive

The colours in the set matched the colours in my office/scraproom perfectly so I decided to put them on the side of the cupboard behind my desk and added a couple to the side wall. I love how it adds some elegance and detail to the area and it makes a nice backdrop for my FB Live videos.

The decals are really easy to apply especially to a smooth surface.

Add your photo. I cut mine out using one of the coordinating dies and framed it with a coloured frame.

Altenew June 2019 Stand-alone Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

18 June 2019

Welcome to the June Stand Alone Die Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have come from Jennifer McGuire's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

For today's hop, I created two layouts. The first was made with the Virginia Rose Die and the Delicate Mandala Die.

How to:

Choose different patterned papers with colours that work well together. Cut out the flower and leaf shapes.
Use the Mandala Die to cut out a mandala shape.
Place the different elements on the layout. Create clusters of three placed in a triangular disposition placing the photo as centre piece.
Add your title and journalling and for detail a couple of doodled hearts.

For my second layout, I went with the Nesting Label Dies and cut out the shapes from patterned paper from the Blushing Blooms Paper Pack. I then placed them over a 8,5"x11" white piece of cardstock.

For my embellishments, I used some flowers that I cut out from a patterned paper from the same paper pack. For contrast, I added some stamped sentiments that I used as journalling.

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