Altenew March 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Welcome everyone! Today we are celebrating the Altenew March 2018 stamp and die release with a blog hop. If you’ve come from Mayline Jung’s blog, then you’re in the right place.

blog, then you’re in the right place.

I’ve created a Mother’s Day card using the Wildflower Garden stamps and some Tim Holtz Distress inks. I’ve chosen muted tones to create a sense of softness.

The subtle greeting “MOM” was created using the Flat and Fold Alphas. These are unique dies that cut half of the letters with a score line to be folded over. I’ve layered the flower panel on top of some book text to fit the mood.

I’ve filmed a video of how I created this card. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

Prizes:

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by Thursday, March 29th for a chance to win. 6 winners will be announced on the Altenew blogs on 3/31/2018.

Watercoloring Techniques: You are Ridiculously Thoughtful

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! Please welcome back the always amazing and talented Kelly Latevola to our blog today! Kelly used our Bold Flowers new stamp set to make this super pretty faux watercolor card! The sentiment was compiled from a combination of our Big Thanks Words clear stamps and the new CZ Design Emphatic clear stamps and a very subtle background using the Bubble Tracker stamps. Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!
