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! 


Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias

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.

Mini Delight: Potted Shelves Stamp & Die Set

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! 

Build-A-Garden: Tranquil Trail

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.

Build-A-Garden: Tranquil Trail | Pitcher Vases 3D Embossing Folder & Die Set

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.

Lace 3D Embossing Folder | Creative Cuts: In the Woods Layering 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.

Pitcher Vases 3D Embossing Folder & Die Set | Creative Cuts: In the Woods Layering Die Set | Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias


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.

Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias

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.

Pitcher Vases 3D Embossing Folder & Die Set | Stencil Art: Ditsy Flowers Wallpaper Layering Stencil Set (7 in 1) | Build-A-Garden: Tranquil Trail Add-on Die Set


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.
