Altenew | A Year In Review 2022 Crafters' Edition Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be taking part in a fun blog hop today with Altenew, where we look back at the year to see what our favourite projects are that we made. 

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

I always find it difficult to critique my own work/pick favourites but here are four projects that stood out to me when I was looking through what I have made this year. 

 PROJECT ONE

Main product used: 

Gracious Peonies Stamp Set, Gracious Peonies Layering Stencils, Gracious Peonies Die, Versatile Greetings Die Set, Sweet Dreams Crisp Dye Inks

This was a card that I made for my Terrific Tags with Michelle series showing how to make a tag shaped card. These peonies are gorgeous and I love the large size of them. I also love the non-traditional colours that I used. You can see my original blog posts and video HERE.

PROJECT TWO

Main products used:

Craft-A-Flower: Buttercup Layering Die Set, Sentiment Strips 3 Stamp Set, Lapis Lazuli Alcohol Inks, Green Meadows Alcohol Inks 

This card was made as part of a blog hop celebrating alcohol inks. I had never really used alcohol inks in this way, with a layering die set, but I loved the results! These buttercup dies are beautiful and easy to layer up too. Buttercups don't have to be yellow! ;) You can see my original blog post HERE. 

PROJECT THREE

Main products used:

Fairy Tale Floral Embossing Folder, Versatile Greetings Die Set, Flower Vine Stamp Set, Terrific Tags Die Set, Ocean Waves Metallic Ink Spray, Lavender Fields Metallic Ink Spray

This tag was created as part of my Terrific Tags with Michelle series. I really love how the metallic sprays work with the embossing folder. I also love how the blue and purple sprays blended together and the Fairy Tale Floral Embossing Folder is stunning! You can see the original blog post and video HERE.

PROJECT FOUR

Main products used:

Golden Days Stamp Set, Golden Days Die Set, Sugarplums Crisp Dye Inks, Green Fields Crisp Dye Inks

This card was made for the January 2022 release. I love these big blooms the stamp layering gives so much depth to both the flowers and leaves and although another non-traditional colour for the flowers, I love how it turned out. As you can tell, I do love blues, aquas and purples on my projects! You can see my original blog post HERE.
