Altenew May 2025 Release + GIVEAWAY

 

Hi there, everyone!

Welcome to the Altenew May 2025 Release Hop + GIVEAWAY!

The Altenew hop starts HERE.

As always, I had an absolute blast creating the projects for this release - I didn't have enough time to play with all the products, but GOSH! This was SO MUCH FUN! 

My first card features the GORGEOUS Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias. 

I added soft inking to the background to accentuate the flowers. I like how this one turned out. You will notice I used this particular color palette quite a bit.

My second card features the Mini Delight: Potted Shelves Stamp & Die Set. 

I watercolored the background. The shelf is gold heat embossed, and the die-cuts are colored using Artist Alcohol Markers.

I used the Opera Lemon watercolor tube to create my faux-fireflies! 

The third card features Build-A-Garden: Tranquil Trail. 

Absolutely adore this one; brings a smile to my face :) It looks so pretty!! The ink shades are quite muted in person.

The fourth card features only the stamp from the Build-A-Garden: Tranquil Trail and one of the vases from the Pitcher Vases 3D Embossing Folder & Die Set.

The fifth card is super simple. This one features the Lace 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Creative Cuts: In the Woods Layering Die Set. 

I used Cloud White Pigment Ink on the embossed pattern and added Mother of Pearl Gem Sparkles for the bling.

Card number six features three products from the release, one product from the promo. One of the vases from the Pitcher Vases 3D Embossing Folder & Die Set, some sprigs and flowery bits from the Creative Cuts: In the Woods Layering Die Set, and the sentiment from the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias. You will see the stencil in the background soon at Altenew.

My seventh card is a one-layer card with a significant amount of masking, featuring only the stencil and sentiment from the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias.

And my last card features the beautiful Stencil Art: Ditsy Flowers Wallpaper Layering Stencil Set, along with one of the vases from the Pitcher Vases 3D Embossing Folder & Die Set. I added a bit of texture using a couple of relief pastes, mixing them to complement the inking.
