Altenew | February 2023 Boho Chic Release Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway

Hello there and welcome to the second of two blog hops to celebrate the release of the new Boho Chic Collection from Altenew. There were lots of new stamps, dies, stencils and more released yesterday and I have two projects to share with you using some of them. 

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

My first card uses the new Altenew Swamp Buttercup Layering Stencil Set. This is a standalone stencil set but there is a coordinating die to cut it out. I started off by placing the stencils on top a panel of white cardstock (following the guide in the packaging) and using Altenew Small Ink Blending Tools, blended ink through the stencils. 

I used the three lightest shades from the Altenew Golden Sunset Crisp Dye Inks, as well as the three lightest Altenew Green Valley Crisp Dye Inks. It was then die cut out using the Altenew Swamp Buttercup Die. I took a US A2 sized white card base and added Altenew Green Valley A Gradient Washi Tape to the right hand side edge. 

The buttercups were adhered on top with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I die cut the 'hello' sentiment from the Altenew Wild Geranium Die Set using black cardstock for the word and white cardstock for the shadow. They were layered up and adhered to the card. I stamped a sentiment from the Altenew Wild Geranium Stamp Set on to white cardstock with Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink, cut it into a strip and added it to the card. To finish, I added a few Raindrop embellishments. 

For my next project, I started off by stamping the Altenew Wild Geranium Stamp Set on to white cardstock using Altenew Rose Petal and Green Valley Crisp Dye Inks. It was die cut out using the Altenew Wild Geranium Die Set and set aside. 

I die cut a tag from the Altenew Terrific Tags Die Set and then embossed it using the new Altenew Rattan Stripes Die for some added texture. The geraniums were adhered on top. I stamped the 'hello' from the set using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink, die cut it out and adhered it on top. To finish off, I added Altenew Essentials Black & White Enamel Dots (just the black ones) and black twine through the top.
