Altenew Sticky Essentials Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

 

Hey there, thanks for stopping by. I am so excited to be part of Altenew's Sticky Essentials blog hop, we are celebrating (and showcasing) everything sticky at Altenew. I don't know if you are aware but Altenew stock a huge range of their own brand adhesives. Everything from tape pens, double sided adhesive sheets to a 22 in 1 precision glue pen. There is a an adhesive for every possible part of your crafty project.

I have created a project using some of my go to adhesives from their range, let's take a closer look.

I started by adding watercolor to a pice of water color card using Altenew's watercolor brush markers. Once dry I cut out a cover panel using the layered medallions cover die A. I added this to my card using the 2 in 1 Precision glue pen.  "It features a fine tip to allow for precise application of glue - just perfect for those detailed die-cuts, small embellishments, and more! For a permanent bond, use when the glue is wet. For a repositionable bond, allow glue to set until tacky. ​"

The sentiment was created using the Reach for the Stars die set, I cut the base layer from Lilac card and the word layer from black card which had a piece of the Double sided adhesive sheet on the reverse, this made it easy for me to then peel the backing off and add to the base layer, much like a sticker.

I used some Instant Dimension foam tape to add the sentiment to the background. The tape is so easy to peel and can be cut down to suit the size of project you are working on. Finally I added a few AB Sequins using the glue pen.

Your next stop on the hop is Hannelie Bester, be sure to check out the Adhesives section of the Altenew store for all your sticky needs.

Altenew September 2022 Enchanted Winter Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

 

Welcome to the Enchanted Winter Collection Release Blog Hop and Giveaway, you should have arrived here from Jennifer McGuire, if not you can go back to the start of the hop by visiting the Altenew Blog or using the links at the end of this post.

I am super excited to be sharing 5 projects with you, all the new items can be found on the Enchanted Winter Embossing Collection Page on the Altenew store.

My first card features the new Blooming Flower Bed Stencil Set. This is a layering stencil set that allows you to add different colors to the flowers and leaves. I added some glittery stencil paste through on e of the layers. My sentiment is cut with the Fancy For You Die Set.

Next, Altenew have added a Gentle Butterfly Simple Coloring Stencil Set that coordinates with the previously released Gentle Butterfly 3D Embossing Folder. This is a great way to add color to just the embossed areas. I added a sentiment using the One Go Birthday Greetings Stamp Set and One Go Birthday Greetings Die Set.

I'm a big fan of embossing folders, especially ones that replicate tiled patterns, so the Intricate Tiles 3D Embossing Folder really excited me. It's so detailed and I knew right away that I wanted to emboss it on Black card and use gilding wax to highlight the pattern. I then used the Pristine Peonies Project Kit to add a white heat embossed vellum floral element.

I used the Starry Patterns 3D Embossing Folder to deboss with blue ink onto white card. I then added the sentiment using the Reach For The Stars Die Set onto of a piece of torn blue vellum.

This last card uses lots of the newly released Enamel dots. I stamped a sentiment from the More Than Words Stamp Set onto white card and adhered in onto green embossed card base, I used the Deck Planks 3D Embossing Folder.

I then added a circle of enamel dots using the following set Summer Afternoon, Red Sunset, Lapis Lazuli and Green Valley Enamel Dots.

Your next stop is Mugdha Gujarathi, before you leave please take a moment to check out the giveaway details below.

Altenew September 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hello and welcome to Altenew's September 2022 Marvellous Monthly Series Blog Hop and Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Seeka, if not you can go back to the start of the hop at anytime by visiting the Altenew Card Blog.

You can find all of the new releases here in the Monthly Subscription Section. This release is full of 
Peonies, tulips, gingerbread cookies, and more! This collection of products is just the thing to help you beat the seasonal blues. You are sure to find inspiration with these lovelies as you get creative in your craft space.

I have two very different card to share with you today, they are worlds apart in terms of color, I hope you like them.

This first card features the Build-A-Garden Pristine Peonies. These Peonies are huge! I stamped then on to Neenah Solar crest 80lb cardstock using Obsidian Ink. I then used the coordinating simple colouring stencils to add ink blended details. I kept the blending soft, using the following colors; Misty Moor, Marshland, Blush and Pastel Sunrise.

I cut the image using the dies included int he Build-A-Garden Pristine Peonies set. I adhered them to an A2 note card, trimming off any excess and sliding it in to empty spaces to fill the card front. I then added a stamped and heat embossed sentiment and some black enamel dots.

I'm loving how soft and light this design feels even with the black elements that give a more modern style.

My next card is all about colour and drama, and boy I am so obsessed with it. I started by stamping the flowers, leaves and flourishes from the Craft-Your-Life Floral Acanthus onto 80lb Neenah solar crest cardstock. I then used some really bright colors and the simple colouring stencils included int he kit to ink blend.

I used; Baby Pink, Fuchsia, Citrus Burst, Fresh Lemon, Lagoon and Lime Crisp Dye Ink Pads, along with mini blending brushes. I cut all of the images using the coordinating dies and adhered them to a Navy Blue card base using foam pads. I die cut the word Hugs from card that I ink blended using the Fresh lemon Ink Pad.

This card is vivid and modern in style, I hope you like it as much as I do.
