Altenew December 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series & Alcohol Markers Set K Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hi there everyone.

Welcome to the December Marvelous Monthly Release Hop!

You must be here from the fabulous Mindy Eggen's blog.

I have quite a few projects to share with you, so strap up!

I love this new stamp; it's Build-A-Garden: Rosa Gallica and add-om bundle.

As the image is huge and gorgeous, I didn't have to do anything at all except choose the ink colours. 

I went with Northern Shore Dye Inks for the flowers and Fall Harvest for the leaves.

This project features the beautiful Paint-A-Flower: Modern Pink Dianthus Outline Stamp Set.

I have a video for this coming out on 12/19 on the Altenew YouTube channel. 

Again, we have the Paint-A-Flower: Modern Pink Dianthus Outline Stamp Set. 

Here I have used the new Beach Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set K, which has beautiful oranges, blues, and greys.

To add more to the design, I added the horizontal stripes that I usually add to my one-layer cards, and they look really nice. 

I also filmed the coloring process, so if you are interested, let me know, and I will make sure to share it soon.

The soft-looking card features the beautiful Craft Your Life Project Kit: Watercolor Flowers.

I will share a video for this on the Altenew YouTube channel in the coming weeks. It is a super easy and relaxing watercolour process, really :) 

Another card featuring the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Watercolor Flowers.

This time I used a bunch of dye inks and coloring stencils! Love the result!

This card features the Ambridge Rose Stamp, Die, and Stencil. These are gorgeous, huge roses, and I used ink shading through the stencils to color them. 

$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away 1 FULL RELEASE BUNDLE to 1 lucky winner and a $25 gift certificate to 4 winners!

Unleash Your Inner Artist Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hello and welcome to the Altenew 

December 2022 Artists'Gouache Set - Strolling Through New York Release

You must be here from Therese Calvird's blog.

I created two panels for this release.

I recreated this red panel again for tomorrow's video hop. I hope that you will check it out.

Direct link HERE, which will be active tomorrow at 9:00 am EST.

I am new to gouache paints, so I had to struggle a bit. I am more of a loose watercolor kind of person. And this is more for people who like to stay "in control".

However, I enjoyed experimenting and playing around with the pigment and consistency. Trying to figure out how much water was the right amount of water. And I will tell you that it takes a few tries, just like everything :)

I have two cards to share with you. And I created videos for both of them, which you will see soon on the Altenew YouTube channel on my weekly series there!

My first card features the Poinsettia Cluster 3D Embossing Folder. Isn't it just gorgeous?! 

So many possibilities with this one!

I dont want to share much about this card. This one is Artist Alcohol Markers on embossed panel. I hope you will check out my tutorial, which will be live on 9/26 on the Altenew YouTube channel. It is SUPER duper easy. 

This card features the Pine Forest 3D Embossing Folder. I usually prefer blues for my winter-themed cards, especially those that look like this. But I thought I would change things up.

This one is watercolors on embossed panels. Thoroughly enjoyed creating this card.

$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 09/28/2022 for a chance to win.

: Altenew September 2022 Winter Magic Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hello everyone! 

Welcome to the Altenew September release hop!

You must be here from Amy Hill's blog.

I have two cards to share with you featuring the same stamp. My cards feature the Mistletoe Wreath Stamp Set.

I stamped the image in Obsidian Ink and added splatters of both white and black paint.

Next, I adhered a lot of pearls and gemstones. This looks VERY pretty in person!

I kept the second card super simple. But to add a pop to the layout, I stamped a panel of cardstock using the horizontal lines from the Striped Circle Stamp Set and added that in between the two plain panels.

I created one more card using the Poinsettia stamp but unfortunately, while taking photos it started to rain heavily and it was lying flat under the open sky. I might use it for my weekly video series because I think it is a gorgeous stamp set.

The next stop on the hop is Berina Rajakumar.

Thank you for stopping by!

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.

$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 08/18/2022 for a chance to win.

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 :)

$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 07/28/2022 for a chance to win.
