Altenew August 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop

 

Hi there everyone! 

Welcome to Altenew's August Marvelous Monthly Series.

You must be here from Mindy Eggen's blog.

My first card features the Build-A-Garden: Daffodil Delight.

I used only two inks and the coloring stencil that is in the Build-A-Garden: Daffodil Delight & Add-on Die Bundle.

The inks I used are Sunray and Limeade Crisp Dye Inks. To add dimension and interest, I also added a bit of stenciling using the Grid Stencil and the same two inks. 

I love how this one turned out! 

I have a tutorial for this coming up at the end of this month.

This card features the Paint-A-Flower: Wood Anemone Outline Stamp Set.

I used Artist Alcohol Markers to color this. It is also a one layer card and I used the Monochrome Pencils to add faux dimension.

I combined markers from different ink families to get these colors. Video to come soon!

This card features the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnolia & Blooms.

I used the stencils to color the image and then cut it out to arrange it differently.

Altenew August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hello and welcome to Altenew's August release.

You must be here from the amazing Caly Person's blog.

My first card features the Rolling Foliage 3D Embossing Folder.

I loved how this one turned out. I kept it super simple and classy.

I embossed Blush Cardstock and fussy cut around the embossed area. Next, I used Frosty Pink Pigment Ink and gently swiped it over the panel. I adhered this onto a cream-colored card base; I also added some scored lines on the lower half of the card front for interest.

To finish, I added some pearls to the flower centers.

Easiest cards to make, and they look super elegant too!

I used the Altenew Intricate Mandala Stencil on my cards to deboss the stencil design. You can use both the emboss or the debossed version. I adhered it onto my card base and then added some gold splatters. 

The sentiment is from one of the Script Word dies. 

Now onto my last card.

This one features the Happy Flowers Stamp & Die Bundle.

I apologize but I forgot to note down the ink colors that I used. I know I used a darker ink for the top most flower's second layer as the other two were too bright for me. And I did the same for the leaves, too, just to add a bit of variation among the blues. 

I then used the same blue for my background and my favorite Fine Tulle Stencil.

: Altenew July 2022 Summer Love Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hello and welcome to the Altenew July release.

You must be here from Penny Pynnonen's blog.

Here are the two cards that I created:

My first card features the Playful Circles 3D Embossing Folder.

This is such a fun embossing folder, and I loved getting all inky this time around. The gold flecks you see are from embossing powder and look super cool.

I think this would be a perfect card for a guy!

Again, got super inky here too. I followed the letterpress technique for this one and used the Sunshine Blossoms 3D Embossing Folder.

It looks beautiful in person, almost like a speckled fabric. Refined jute. I have curtains like this in my studio, minus the flowers :)

Altenew July 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hello and welcome to the Altenew July release.

You must be here from Laurie Patterson's blog.

My first card features the Craft Your Life Project Kit Always Sunshine.

I used the simple coloring stencil, the 3D embossing folder and a bunch of Altenew Crisp Dye Inks to create this.

My second card features the Paint-a-flower: China Rose Outline Stamp Set.

I have a video for this coming up soon. I used the Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set to paint the flower and then used the Woodless Coloring Pencils to add a little bit of shading.

I also added a die-cut circle out of a pattern paper from the Essential Black and White Paper Pack. 

I have been loving the coloring stencils so on my card which features the Altenew Build-A-Garden: Tulips & Friends.

I used autumn-themed colors for my card.

Altenew July 2022 Summer Sunshine Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hello and welcome to the Altenew July release.

You must be here from the lovely Vicky Papaioannou's blog.

My first card features the Monsteras and Quotes Stamp & Die & Stencil Bundle.

I have been really enjoying the simple colouring stencils, you guys! I do not feel like colouring anymore! Seriously. I just have my blending brushes right next to me and and the inks at arms reach... I know I will pick up the stencils, mix a few inks from different colour families and j just have fun with the stamps! You can clearly see how shaded and varied my leaves look!

My second card features the Captivating Blooms Stamp & Stencil Bundle.

Again, I used the colouring stencils and a mix of inks. I kept changing the pressure of my hand when I was applying the ink so that I ended up with shaded florals. I think they look really cool!
