Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Vintage Tapestry Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Hello there!

Welcome to ALTENEW CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: VINTAGE TAPESTRY RELEASE BLOG HOP+GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Teri Wilson's blog, A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

This month's CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: VINTAGE TAPESTRY is gorgeous and so easy to work with. You are going to be coming back to this set time and time again. Let me show you what I have created with the kit!

I love how easy the stamp and stencil layer to create the amazing florals. I used muted tones of inks to create the florals in my spread.

There is so much movement in the design of the florals that it was so easy to cluster them to create a nice flow in the corners of my spread. The sentiments in the stamp set are so perfect for those rainy days and create the perfect title for my page.

I love how this turned out, but of course I did not stop there, and took my chance with a card, too

This time, I am starting with the 3D embossing folder and white cardstock. Once I created the background, then it was all about adding a focal point.

I used tones of blue and tropical greens to build my flowers using the stamp, stencil and die set. I wanted to take advantage of the embossing design to build the focal point of this card.

I finished this card with a simple sentiment, and a few gems. Just love how this turned out! The new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT:VINTAGE TAPESTRY is just a new favorite. Remember you can always subscribe to this program in the Altenew shop.

Altenew Plentiful Patterns Stand-alone Dies/Stencils Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Hello there!

Welcome to Altenew Plentiful Patterns Stand-alone Dies/Stencils Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes). You are arriving from Joy Baldwin's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post, for your convenience.

Today, Altenew is releasing a new set of stencils, and stand-alone dies that are sure to your creativity going. Let me show you what I have created:

I love layering stencils! I used the newBrick Rosette Builder Stencil Set, pigment inks, and Antique Gold embossing powder to create the background of the card panel. The sentiment of the card was created with the new YOU MATTER die set, All About You Words die set, and Glitter Cardstock.. Just love the color combo in this card!

For this card, I combined a few of the new released goodies. Starting with the ILLUSION HEXAGON stencil in the background of the card panel. The flowers were created with the new IMPRESSION BOUQUET Stencil/die set, while the large branch was created wit the new IN LINE LEAVES die set and Gradient Cardstock. Finally the card sentiment comes from the YOU MATTER die set. This card was so fun to put together.

My last card is also a combination of new goodies. The background of the slimline card was created with the BRICK ROSETTE BUILDER Stencil set. I am using the CAF: California Giants to create my flower, while the large leaf comes from the new POLKA DOT LEAVES die set. Once again, I am combining the All About You Words die set, and YOU MATTER die set to create the sentiment of the card.

I had so much fun creating just cards with this release -you can see two more cards I created in the Altenew Card blog-.

Of course we are celebrating the release with a GIVEAWAY:

Altenew Suddenly Spring Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway($300 in Total Prizes)

Hello there!

Welcome to ALTENEW SUDDENLY SPRING STAND-ALONE DIES RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from the always amazing Jennifer McGuire's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

This month's new Stand-Alone dies are amazing, and then there is the new Instant Dimension Foam Tape..OM Word! So much goodness in one single release it was hard to narrow down to a favorite, so instead, I pretty much used all the things in my projects. Let me show you:

The new MINI FLOWER CLUSTER LAYERING DIE SET is gorgeous, and so easy to layer that you will be creating flowers for days! Of course, I had to use it to add a new entry in my journal.

Just love these floral clusters from the new MINI FLOWER CLUSTER LAYERING DIE SET! But the new SLIM SENTIMENTS DIE SET is probably one I will go back to. The design of the sentiments works great on cards ( slimline cards) but also can be trimmed and stacked in journal cards for titles!!!

I just love these two new die sets, and probably will go into the frequent use stash!! But let me show you another idea to use the new dies in memory keeping...

The new CIRCULAR ELEMENTS DIE SET is a fun new die that works great in cards and layouts! This time, I am pairing it with a few of the smaller elements from the WHIMSICAL GARDEN LAYERING DIE SET.

I took advantage of the open circle spaces to add the small floral details. I used the negative piece of the cut outs to accent the design on my page. Love how easy it came together.

Of course, I created a few cards using the new die sets. Starting with this clean and simple design using the new FANCY KISSES DIE and Red Sunset Slim Washi Tape set.

A few pieces of washi tape, topped with the new FANCY KISSES DIE ( stacked die cuts ) and a few gold gems = simple perfection!

Did I mentioned, that I am loving the new INSTANT DIMENSION FOAM TAPE. It literally is the easiest way to create dimension on your projects. I paired it with the new 3D BANNER DIE SET, Mini Delights Smile Blooms in this card.

The new Foam Tape is helping keep the banner together while adding the dimension to the fold of the banner. Just love how this turned out!

For my last project, I combined a few of the new dies into one slimline card. It all worked so well!!!

I cut a panel using the Nesting Slim Rectangles die set. Next, I used the new REFLECTIONS DIE to cut two die cuts, and glued them onto the card panel. The Craft-A-Flower: Antique Rose Layering Die set creates the perfect focal point for this card.

The DECORATIVE SWIRLS DIE SET creates awesome leaves (lots of movement in them), they work perfect for the slim line size. The last touch a small sentiment, once again the new SLIM SENTIMENTS DIE SET is just perfect for this -as you can trim the sentiments to fit your design!-.

I am sure you are all ready to start ordering. Remember to take advantage of Altenew's promotions:

Of course, we are celebrating the release with a GIVEAWAY!!!
