Altenew 5th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1
As part of the festivities, I’ve created a clean and simple card using the Altenew Wonderland Stamp and die set with Moda Scraps pattern papers.
This card design is great for quick cards on the go! No coloring, no mess! The stamped and embossed vellum allows you to see a hint of the pattern papers underneath! Be sure to check out my video for a tip on how to stamp a long stem flower by using the coordinating die as a guide.

Art Impressions designer Carol Hintermeier made this DARLING card using new Hamster Critter Cubby stamps and dies! Read on to learn more about this fun project and enjoy!
The Hamster Critter Cubby is so fun to create a cardwith. It’s also easy too since all thedies you need are included in the set. The die for the Cubby cuts all the little door and window openings totuck the hamster in.
I stamped all of the images onto Neenah Solar White 80#paper with Gina K. Designs Amalgam ink, which is safe to use with alcoholmarkers. I colored everything with mymarkers (I’ve listed the colors below.) I then die cut the Cubby, hamsters and birthday hat with the dies.
Then you get to have fun tucking the hamsters wherever youwant! I did find it was easiest to tuckin the hamsters and adhere them in place before I put the foam tape all overthe back of the Cubby.
I started putting the card together beginning with an A2top-folding card from Neenah Solar White 100# paper. I cut the blue patterned paper at 4” x 5-1/2” and another at 3-1/2” x 5-1/4”. The floral paper is cut at 3-3/4” x 5-1/2”. The final layer is the white piece for the Cubby to go on which is 3-1/4” x 5”.
After adhering the layers I positioned the Cubby on the top layer and added the final hamster with the birthday hat. I stamped the included sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink and die cut it out with one of the Rectangle Double Stitched dies. I added a few enamel dots just below the sentiment.
