Altenew June 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway
Hey there and welcome to the Altenew* June 2019 release blog hop! This release is filled with beautiful new stamps, dies and stencils!
You should have arrived here from Norine’s blog. You can also find the full blog hop list over on the Altenew card blog.
Sunshine on my Mind – Layout
For my first project I used one of my favorite new stamp and die sets from this release: the Leaf Clusters set. If you’ve seen some of my projects so far, you will know I love everything floral and botanical. Now I already have lots of great Altenew floral stamp sets and I think this Leaf Clusters set is perfect to combine it with them!
I used soft pastel colored ink pads to color the different leaves to give my layout this tropical feeling. To be able to double- or even triple-stamp the images to get a better ink coverage I used my Mini MISTI tool and then die cut all the images out using the coordinating dies.
After arranging the leaves in the upper right and lower left corner, I adhered them in place. For some of them I used foam squares to add dimension to the page. Apart from the stamped and die cut leaves I only added some alphabet stickers for my title, and a few paint splatters and enamel dots for some accents.
I didn’t have any enamel dots in coordinating colors in my stash but, with my ever-growing Nuvo Drop collection, I had some that fit the leaves perfectly. I used Simply White, Bubblegum Blush and Fairy Wings (the latter being iridescent Dream Drops) and added them in and around the leaves.
Cards
I also created three different cards with a few of the new stamps and dies. On all of them I used different techniques to create my own background. On the first one I used the Pen Sketch Mandala stamp and heat embossed it with glitter embossing powder onto the white card base.
I also heat embossed a sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips stamp set with Golden Peach embossing powder onto black cardstock. And of course I had to add some florals! I used the main images from the Beautiful Day and Coral Charm layering sets that I had stamped with the Altenew Sunset ink set.
On the next card I used the Warp Speed stencil together with the Altenew Embossing Paste and some dark blue embossing glitter to create my background. For some added contrast I used half a piece of dark blue cardstock and then added the Mid-Century Frame that I cut from silver mirror cardstock on top. And once again I used the Coral Charm flower – I just can’t stay away from flowers 😉
Finally, I used the same Nuvo Drops as on my layout to embellish the card and then also added a heat embossed sentiment in silver on the bottom.
For the last card I used the new Sentiment Strips stamp set and added various of the sentiments in light gray ink onto part of the white card base. I then added a strip of gold glitter cardstock and heat embossed my sentiment with black detail embossing powder.
Instead of flowers I added two leaves I had left over from creating my layout and topped them with an epoxy wood button from the Live Your Dream collection.
That’s it from me today! I hope you enjoyed these projects. Now make sure to hop on over to Therese’s blog and don’t forget to check out the full release over on Altenew.
