Altenew April 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway



Hello friends!
You must be here from the Altenew blog.
Welcome to Altenew's April Stamp/Die Release!

I have a few projects to share with you so sit tight.

First up, featuring the Mega Hello Die and Mega Greetings Stamp Set.

Altenew Mega Hello Die and Mega Greetings Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

My cards are simple and quick. I inked a panel in rainbow colours and die cut the "hello" die out of it. I couldn't decide if I liked the black or the white better so made both!
I added tons of glossy accents on my "hello" die cut.
For the one on white, I added a black offset to my colourful "hello".

Next up are plain cardstock pieces that I stamped to giveaway to my customers.
The large thanks die can be stamped using multiple colours of ink for interest.

Altenew Mega Greetings Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I used several Altenew inks to stamp the rainbow "thanks".
I liked the result so much that I went ahead and stamped it using single colour families.

Altenew Mega Greetings Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I tried the ombre' stamping look for the "thanks". It looks really cool in person.

I am sure you can tell I was having fun stamping these!

Next up, the small Dream Big Stamp Set.

Altenew Dream Big Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

This set is small but Altenew still managed to make this a layering set!
I made these tiny tags to send out with cards to my crafty friends.
I watercoloured the background roughly with distress inks and then popped the stamped butterfly with glue gun. This stamp set comes with a coordinating die.

Altenew Watercolour Dots Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Isn't this an awesome stamp set?!
I had so much fun making this card. I used inks from the Rock Collection for my background.

Altenew Watercolour Dots Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I die cut the heart with Halftone Hearts Die Set and then sprinkled clear glitter on it.
I also added some pink and gray paint splatters to my background. And added a bit of silver string as well.

Altenew Watercolour Dots Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

My last card of the day features the Happy Heart Stamp Set and for the background I used Watercolour Dots Stamp Set.

Altenew Happy Heart and Watercolour Dots Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I stamped the images with Altenew Permanent Black Ink and coloured them with Artist Markers.
The colours I used are Buttercream, Frosty Pink, Coral Berry and Ruby Red.

Altenew Happy Heart and Watercolour Dots Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Before arranging my floral spray, I stamped the background using Watercolour Dots stamp set and heat embossed it in white. I then added a bit of watercolour for interest and then popped up the flowers with foam tape.

That's all from my side!
I hope you liked all my projects :)

Love the bold colors, both on the white and the black. What an impact. And of course, butterflies are always perfect. And I can totally see making bunches of cards with the watercolor dots--it's just so much fun--makes me want to play with color! And then ... the one I didn't think I needed just jumped into first place. I thought it was pretty, I just didn't think I needed it. Now I do. Your coloring is stunning and really brings this simple line drawing to the next level. Thank you!!!
