Altenew | August 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there and welcome to Altenew's August 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Blog Hop! Releasing today is: Build-A-Garden: Daffodil Delight, Craft-A-Flower: Open Peony, Magnolia & Blooms Project Kit, Min Delight: Like A Star and Paint-A-Flower: Wood Anemone. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

My cards today feature the CAF Open Peony and BAG Daffodil Delight, which are both so pretty! 

I started off my first card by die cutting the Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Open Peony Layering Die Set from white cardstock. Using an Altenew Small Blending Tool and Altenew Mini Ink Blending Brush, I blended on Altenew Cherry Blossom Crisp Dye Inks (Pinkalicious, Rubellite & Razzleberry) to the petals. The centre uses Altenew Golden Sunset Crips Dye Inks (Sunray & Chamomile). 

The leaves were die cut twice. I knew I wanted them to overhang the card base so I cut them twice and stacked them up for extra stability. The top layer was blended with Altenew Green Valley Crisp Dye Inks (Firefly & Shadow Creek). The layers were assembled and adhered with Altenew 2 in 1 Precision Glue Pen. I took a panel of white cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Altenew Deck Planks 3D Embossing Folder.

It was adhered to an A2 white card base and the leaves added on top. The flower was adhered with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I took the sentiment from the Altenew Build-A-Garden: Daffodil Delight Set and stamped it on to black cardstock with Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut in to a strip and added to the card with more foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Bubbles embellishments. 

My second card uses the Altenew Build-A-Garden: Daffodil Delight Set. This set consists of a stamp set, stencils and a mini blending brush. I stamped the image on to a panel of white cardstock using Altenew Permanent Black Ink. I placed the stencils one by one on top to colour in the image with ink blending. 

I used Altenew Golden Sunset Crisp Dye Inks (all four shades) for the daffodils and Altenew Green Valley Crisp Dye Inks (Firefly & Grass Field) for the leaves. The panel was adhered to a A2 yellow card base with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. 

I stamped the sentiment from the set on to black cardstock using Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut in to a strip and added to the card with more foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Altenew Pocketful of Sunshine Enamel Dots.
