Altenew | September 2023 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the September 2023 release, which is out now! There are lots of stamps, dies, hot foil plates, embossing folders and stencils releasing and I have two cards to share with you today using a few of them. 

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


I started off my first card by stamping the floral image from Altenew Bold Bouquet Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. I then placed the Altenew Bold Bouquet Stencils on top (one by one) and added ink blending to colour the image. I used Altenew Lapis Lazuli Crisp Dye Inks for the blue flowers and Altenew Rose Petal Crisp Dye Inks for the pink ones. 


For the leaves, I used Altenew Green Valley Crisp Dye Inks. The panel was then adhered flat to a US A2 sized white card base with Altenew Glue Tape. I stamped the sentiments from the set onto white cardstock with Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. I die cut the 'happy' using the Altenew Bold Bouquet Die Set and cut the 'birthday' into a strip. 


I die cut the die for the 'happy' word another two times and adhered them one on top of another to create dimension before adhering to the card with liquid glue. I then adhered the 'birthday' below using Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. To finish off, I added a few Bubbles embellishments. 


For my next card, I started off by adding ink blending to a panel of white cardstock using Altenew Lapis Lazuli Crisp Dye Inks and an Altenew Large Ink Blending Tool. I then placed it inside the Altenew Bold Bouquet 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. 


Using a foam blending tool, I blended Altenew Cloud White Pigment Ink to the raised areas. I heat set the ink with a heat tool and then adhered the panel to a US A2 sized white card base with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape


I took the Altenew Essential Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and foiled it onto black cardstock with Spellbinders White Foil. It was cut into a strip using the Altenew Essentials Sentiments Die Set and adhered to the card with more foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Bubbles embellishments.

  24. Both your cards are beautiful Michelle. I really love the white highlights on the embossed card and black and white foiled sentiment pops beautifully! Of course I also love the project with the stencilled flowers too - we almost went the same route with this but I like how you had yours going off the top of the panel. Gorgeous!
