Altenew August Release Giveaway

Hi Everyone!

I am so super excited today to be joining Altenew's hop to share their latest release! There are some absolute Must-Haves here (-: If you are doing the hop you should have come here from Amazingly talented Erum Tasneem. If you just happened to stop by, make sure you scroll down and start the hop from the beginning so you don't miss the chance of winning lots of wonderful goodies (info below).
Now here are my cards:






For my first one I played with the wonderful Mega Happy Die I diecut it from white cardstock that I inked before adding glitter and Altenew's irridecent spray and then lots of glossy accent. My background was created with vellum and the wonderful  Leaf Frame Cover Die  from last month's release and the flowers are from a set called  Floral Art Die Set Floral Art Stamp Set .



I can't wait to share this with my niece who turns 16 soon. It was such a fast and fun card to make! I just LOVE the new  Mega Number Die Bundle (10 dies) - perfect for anything from birthdays and anniversaries to "You are my nr !" Valentine's cards! Here I paired them with an old and a new favorite: Hug Me - Stamp and die bundle    Script Words 3 Die Set

  





The Geo Frames Stamp & Die Bundle is such an awesome combo and I bet you've seen many great uses of them throughout the hop. Here I used them for a simple but pretty lable and with the beautiful Floral Art Die Set  and Floral Art Stamp Set I think it makes a really nice card design.



How I have loved to play with the Halftone Squares Stamp Set - the result is so cool and awesome. The YOU die is beautiful in itself but stamped like this - it's just another level!!!! Couldn't help to add another fox from my favorite : Hug Me - Stamp and die bundle   YOU is from Script Words 3 Die Set




My next carddesign can easily be personalized depending on the reciever - here I made a feminine and a masculine take, but with other colors and images it could be a cute kid's card instead. Supplies used:  Halftone Squares Stamp SetMega Number Die Bundle (10 dies)Moroccan Mosaic Cover Die

Important Update
Starting August, all of our new 6x8 and 4x6 stamp sets will come with tri-fold insert cards showcasing lots of added inspiration, project ideas, printed layering guides, and other useful information for customers. The price of these stamps (newly releasing stamps only) will slightly change to reflect this improvement. New pricing for 6x8 stamp set is $23.99 MSRP and 4x6 stamp set is $15.99 MSRP.

Altenew July 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi, everyone!

I am so excited to be part of Altenew's July release bloghop! They are releasing some wonderful new stamps and dies that I know you will love!!!





The first set I took out to play with I fell in love with immediately - the Beautiful Heart Stamp Set - it is wonderful in so many different ways. Here I used the no line coloring technique and watercolors.







Here I used the same stamps but used copics to color instead and got a totally different look. The Leaf Frame Cover Die will be my new go to bg die (couldn't stop using it as you can see below (-: ) - it is soooo beautiful and so useful!! Such a fast and easy way to create that little extra on a card!
Beautiful Heart Stamp Set - The sentiment is from Life Is Awesome Stamp Set



A different feel and different look on this card! Here I played with the very summery Gradient Sunset Stamp SetGradient Sunset Dies. It's not only perfect for cards but would be awesome for the Scrapbook LO's from summers or vacations to hot or tropical places. I just LOVE the chunky sentiments too!!!





The Leaf Frame Cover Die creates a BEAUTIFUL frame for stamped or painted scenes like this one. Here I layered two Leaf Frame Cover Die on top of eachother and I think the result is just lovely - it creates a beautiful texture and dimension to the scene made from some of the beautiful stamps from Gradient Sunset Stamp Set . I used watercolor paper with rough grain for my inked bg to get even more texture!



For fast and beautiful cards use the lovely Needlework Motif Stamp Set. Here I stamped and colored the flowers and then stamped again (using the misty so I got it exactly right) andclear embossed it. It doesn't really show here but that embossed edge makes it look so much more worked at.





Last but not least I played with the absolutely WONDERFUL Floral Alphabet Stamp Set. These are WONDERFUL for so many different types of projects. I made a little gift set of stationary. I ran a bunch of die cut letters to make some sealers for my letters (they are all gone already - I used them to seal up some b-day cards I just sent out - and it really added that little extra to the back of the envelope- will make a hundred next time so they'll last a bit longer (-:
The letters are sweet die cut and colored like here but also very elegant when embossed in gold , silver or white. Would make beautiful wedding cards or invitations! I am in LOVE!!!!
