Altenew: A Year In Review: Crafters’ Edition Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway

Hello Crafty Friends! I'm thrilled to be a stop along the Altenew " A Year in Review: Crafters' Edition Blog Hop #2" this year! This Hop contains some gorgeous inspiration and it's been a pleasure creating with some of my favorite Altenew projects in 2022. So let's see what a few of my favorite projects were this year!

Card #1: Using the "Blooming Through the Seasons" 3-D embossing folder, which was part of the Seasonal Blooms Craft Your Life Project Kit, I created an easy card that packs a punch! After the panel was embossed, I blended white pigment ink over top and splattered with white ink.

Card #2: I love Blue and Yellow together and this card turned out better than expected. Using the "Greenwood Flowers 3 in 1 Layering Stencil Set" I ink blended gorgeous shades of blues, greens and yellows. The florals and leaves are large so they were easy to fussy cut too. The background panel was embossed with the Altenew "Row of Squares" 3-D Embossing folder and belnded over with yellow ink.

Card #3: This larger than life floral is part of the "Feathered Lilies Craft Your Life Project Kit". My card meaures 5x7" so you see the scale of this gorgeous lily. To create this effect, I stamped the image on the cardbase and again on a large Altenew "Nesting Slim Label Die", only coloring the stamped image on the die cut. Popping the die cut on craft foam, the dimension along with the color make it a unique design.

Card #4: Altenew has the prettiest (and easiest to use) 3-D layering Die Sets. This is the Craft-A-Flower Peruvian Layering Lily and I gave it sparkle by cutting 2 of the layers from white and gold glitter card. Only 4 layers are required for this floral and it's a stunner!

Card #5: Christmas is almost upon us so I must share this quick and easy holiday card using the Altenew Festive Silhouettes Stamp Set. I blended a card panel with shades of green inks, heat embossed the image and sentiment with fine detail gold embossing powder and splattered with gold paint. I matted the panel with gold mirro card to give it that extra holiday sparkle and shine. This would be a great card to mass produce.
