Welcome to the June 202O Stand Alone Die Release Blog Hop. If you have come from Norine Borys 's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop on the Altenew Card Blog

For today's hop I created a couple of projects:

Card 1:

I used the Leaf Border Die to create a fun colourful card. This card is super easy to make but packed with colour. The rainbow washi tape gives it an extra kick.

For my next card I combined the Bold Thanks and Rose Wreath with more fun washi tape. Once again it is a very simple card.

My last project is a layout. This one was made with the Spring Roses Die Set. It took me a little longer to create as I had to cut out all the patterned paper to back the die cuts. 

As I had my washi tapes out I also used them on this project.

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Tulip Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Welcome to the Craft-A-Flower Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from blog of the amazingly talented Virginia Lu  then you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog. 

Altenew has started a new subscription package called the Craft-a-Flower. These sets are released monthly and celebrate the beauty of a wide variety of flowers! Each set includes all the pieces you need to create a multi-layered floral arrangement, inspired by our popular 3D flower dies. All you need to add is coloured cardstock and a die cutting machine.

This month the TULIP is being featured.

This is a card I created with the set. I decided to use patterned papers instead of gradient coloured cardstock and also went with a different look for the leaves. 

For the leaves I didn't add the layering pieces as I really wanted the polka dot pattern to shine. For the tulip flower itself I chose some pink and red patterned paper. I love the look of the black and the pink/red flower.  

What I really love about these sets is that you can create a more traditional look or go in a completely different direction. The possibilities are endless. 

Prizes:

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 5 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog for a chance to win.

Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Anemone Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Welcome to this month’s Paint-a-Flower Release Blog Hop. This is your last stop on the hop. If you have missed the other stops, you can start the hop on the https://altenewblog.com/PAF-Anemone.

I have loved all the PAF sets and have enjoyed colouring them with my watercolours. Today were are also releasing refills for the Altenew Artist Markers so I decided to use my markers to colour the image. 

I started by stamping the floral image with Obsidian Black ink and let it dry a couple of hours. Then I pulled out some of my favourite Artist Markers and started colouring.

Once I had finished colouring the image, I cut it out by hand. I took a piece of patterned paper from the Summer Garden 6X6 paper pack. I also pulled out a striped patterned paper and drew a border around the edge with the Grape Vine Artist Marker.

Assembling the card was super easy and all I had to do was add a sentiment and some pretty seauins.

Welcome to the May 2020 Washi Tape Release and Blog Hop. 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.

For today's hop, I created a layout and 4 cards. These washi tapes are AMAZING and creating with them is super easy and fun. Geo Rainbow Washi Tape

My first two cards are rainbow cards which I created with: 

• Narrow Rainbow Washi Tape
• Geo Rainbow Washi Tape
• Brushed Grid Washi Tape
• Script Words Die
• Layered Medallions Cover Die B

The two following cards use the Gold Splatter Blush Washi tape. 

Below I combined it with the Just Jasmine Stamp Set. I stamped the branch in black and added some washi for colour. 

Below I combined it with the Just Jasmine Stamp Set. I stamped the branch in black and added some washi for colour. 

My next card came together in minutes.

For my background, I used the Grand Stream Washi Tape and popped a heart on top created with one of the Halftone Hearts Dies. I used a sentiment from the coordinating Stamp Set. It comes with coordinating Die so it is super easy to cut out. 

My last project is a layout. I wanted it to be super colourful and vibrant so I used lots of Rainbow Washi Tapes.

I love how easy it is to customise elements with washi tape. You can create alphabet letters, embellishments, backgrounds and more. 

You can see how the layout came together in the video below.
