Altenew Fresh Start Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway


Hello and welcome to the Altenew January Fresh Start blog hop. You should have arrived here from the uber talented Jaycee Gaspar, if not you can go back to the start of the hop at any time by visiting the Altenew Card Blog. You can also find the full ist of hop stops at the end of this post.


This release is jam packed with crafting goodies, Stamps, Dies, Mask/Stencils, Decals, embossing folders and A bone folder to boot. I've created nine cards for the release so lets take a look.



My first two cards feature the Airbrushed Flowers stamp and Matching die set. In this first card I also used the Ribbon Waves Embossing Folder. The Airbrushed Flowers stamp set has such an elegant feel to it, so I couldn't help but make a second card with it...


So this card is very similar to the first one in colour and style but to give it a little difference I used two flowers and changed the embossing folder to the Swirl Motif. I love how much depth of detail you get from it.


Next is the All Things A stamp set and matching die set, I added the Heat embossed and ink blended "A" to a Pocket Banner die cut. As well as the large "A" stamp the set also includes smaller connecting sentiments so that you can build the perfect sentiment


In keeping with the Pink and black of the last card, this card uses the same pallet but features the newly released Block Sentiment stamp set and Die set. This is a really cool set is full of lots of sentiment of different styles, the matching dies are great for making your sentiment a focal feature. I created the background with the On the plus side stencil and added a potted Palm using the Parlor Palm die set.


For my second card using the Block Sentiments stamp and die set I used the Tiny Bubbles Stencil and some clear gel, I added a couple of die cut birds from the Soar stamp and Die set.


My next two card use the Illusion Heart die set, for the first card I used my Altenew Artist markers to add colour. The great thing about this die set is that you can use one or many on your cards and add colour in many ways.


The second card with the Illusion Heart die set uses it just once, this time I have paper pieced to add colour.


Now on to the beautiful Spotted Orchid stamp and Die set, I have created two cards each very similar, For both cards I've created a background with the Grid Cover Die and pieced in some black card to give a checker board look.


I added a sentiment from the Simple Greetings die set. The die set includes four sentiment dies with matching mat layers. They have a really fun feel to them.

  23. Hi, Terri - You have offered us a plethora of beautiful cards to admire. I love the one w/ the geese (Soar) and the orchid one near the bottom... but I also really like the "This too shall pass" (a favorite saying of mine) and the others. One small note: "pallet" is not the word you meant. You needed "palette."
    Thanks again for sharing.
