Altenew September 2019 Stamp/Die/Mask Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

9/5/2019

Welcome to the September Altenew Release Hop. I am so excited to share that I am guest designer this month's new releases. There are lots of new stamps, dies and stencils to see today along the hop. You're totally going to love all the new goodies Altenew has added to their collection. You should have arrived from Caly's blog.

Today, I am featuring three elegant, sophisticated and classy Holiday cards with a beautiful stamp set called Modern Poinsettia and a really fun covered die set called Layered Snowflake Stars. Enjoy!

Holiday Greetings

Stamp: Using my Modern Poinsettia Mask Stencil I stamped two Poinsettia's overlapping with Altenew Obsidian Black Ink onto Neenah Solar White Cardstock.

Color: I colored the leaves with Altenew Enchanted Gold Ink. (I applied ink onto my Altenew Craft Mat and painted the leaves with a brush and a very small amount of water). I also used colored pencils to add some shadows and depth to my leaves.

Assemble: I cut around the top of the flowers to cut away the white space, then applied the flower panel to a black card. I then finished the card with a white embossed sentiment, some gold ink splatters and some mini pearls.

Peace & Love

Stamp: I stamped three Poinsettia's using Altenew Antique Gold Ink onto Neenah Solar White Cardstock. While the ink was wet I used an ink dauber to spread the ink around to distress/color the ink. I cut the second and third flower into smaller parts so I could attach them as layers to create a 3D flower.

Diecut: I die cut Layered Snowflake Stars Cover Die A with gold cardstock and also with black cardstock.

Assemble: I adhered the diecut elements to a white card base. Using the black diecut pieces I filed in random stars to create a fun background piece for my card. Next, I added the 3D flower, along with some twine, a sentiment and some black ink splatters.

Warmest Wishes

Stamp: I stamped a black Poinsettia using Altenew Obsidian Black ink on Neenah Solar White Cardstock. I added some Nuvo Gilding Flakes to give it some fun interest.

Diecut: I diecut a black piece of cardstock using Layered Snowflake Stars Die A

Assemble: Using the diecut panel as a template only I adhered the small cutout pieces only to add some stars to my card base. I finished the card with a Gold embossed sentiment, some black twine, gold, silver and black ink splatters and a small strip of gold glitter tape.
