Altenew May 2017 Release Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY


Altenew May 2017 Stamp, Die and Embossing Powders Release. Projects by Erum Tasneem - @pr0digy0




Hello everyone
You must be here from Flora Monika Farkas blog.
Apart from the stamps and dies, Altenew will be releasing SIX shades of embossing powders!


Lets get on with the projects.

First card using the Enchanted Iris Stamp Set.


Altenew Enchanted Iris stamp set, card by Erum Tasneem - @pr0digy0
I have used Woodgrain White cardstock for my card front.
I stamped the flowers and leaves with Versamark and used the new and gorgeous Golden Peach embossing powder to heat emboss them.

Isn't it just beautiful?
You have to see this in real life, the embossing powder is gorgeous! It has a peach tinted sheen.

I used Altenew Crisp Inks in Warm Sunshine, Puffy Heart, Purple Wine, Cosmic Berry, Deep Iris and Midnight Violet as my watercolours for the flowers.
I also added some hard lines with colour pencils.
The leaves were watercoloured with Bamboo, Parrot and Moss Crisp Inks.
The panel that the flowers are placed on is inked using Mountain Mist Crisp Ink.
I have used Warm Sunshine Crisp Ink as watercolour to add splatters to my background.

On to the next card, this one uses Halftone Hearts.


Altenew Halftone Hearts stamp set, card by Erum Tasneem - @pr0digy0

This is such a simple card and it came together so quickly!
I stamped different sizes of hearts using Purple Wine, Lavender Fields, Autumn Blaze, Coral Berry, Volcano Lake, Parrot and Warm Sun Shine Crisp Inks.

I stamped the "Hugs & Kisses" directly over the hearts and then added a bit of glossy accent on it.
You can even use the coordinating die to diecut the sentiment and pop it up. That was my plan initially but I didnt have the dies when I made this card but now I do and I will be making more of these to send out to my blog buddies. Oh and speaking of buddies...


Next up, Crafty Friends.


LOOK at the number of AWESOME sentiments on this one!!!
Perfect for your crafty friends (pun intended)

Altenew Crafty Friends stamp set, card by Erum Tasneem - @pr0digy0
I heat embossed one of the larger sentiments using Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder.
I masked off the floral design on the stamp and replaced it with the cute envelope stamp.
I watercoloured my background with Distress Stains using four colours, Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Squeezed Lemon and a bit of Mustard Seed.
I heat embossed another sentiment on a strip of black cardstock, layered it over some black and white washi tape and popped it on my card front.

Now on to my last card for today featuring the Mosaic Dome die set.
Altenew Ramdan Greetingd stamp set + Mosaic Dome die set, card by Erum Tasneem - @pr0digy0

Ramadan is just around the corner and I thought this die was perfect for Ramadan/Eid cards.
I kept the card really clean and simple, just added a bit of gold border with a marker.

Altenew Ramdan Greetingd stamp set + Mosaic Dome die set, card by Erum Tasneem - @pr0digy0

I made a shaker card and did a bit of inlaid diecutting.

I used the sentiments from Ramadan Greeting Stamp Set.
Heat embossed them in Antique Gold Crisp Embossing Powder.

bbaxterj@frontiernet.net said...

Your cards are beautiful! The iris stamp is beautiful with the lines in the flower repeated in the leaves. Your coloring makes it look so real. I love the halftone hearts stamp, too. I liked the circle one, but think this one would be more useful to me. Again your coloring and design are great, as is your craft card. Altenew is the first stamp company that I know of that makes stamps around the Muslim holidays. I have some Muslim friends that I can now make cards for without my horrible handwriting! Your shaker card with the gold trim is lovely!

Linda BL said...

The embossing powder adds an elegant touch to your beautiful iris!

Those sequins add just the right touch.
