Altenew | October 2023 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the October 2023 release, which is out now! There are lots of stamps, dies, embossing folders, ink pads and more releasing this month. For my projects today, I am using a new set plus the new ink pads. 

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

For my card, I started off by stamping the poinsettia and leaves from the Altenew Linear Life: Poinsettias Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. I placed the Altenew Linear Life: Poinsettias Stencil on top and added ink blending using an Altenew Mini Blending Brush. 

I used Altenew Rock Collection Fresh Dye Inks (Limestone) for the flower petals and Altenew Fall Harvest Crisp Dye Inks (Butternut and Pumpkin Pie) for the centres. For the leaves, I used Altenew Sea Shore Fresh Dye Inks (Mountain Mist and Volcano Lake). They were then die cut out using the Altenew Linear Life: Poinsetias Die Set. 

I placed the Altenew Stripe Builder Stencil on to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel of white cardstock and added ink blending in the bottom right hand corner using Altenew Jet Black Fresh Dye Ink. The stencil was removed and the panel adhered to a US A2 sized white card base. The leaves were adhered on top with Altenew Glue Tape and the poinsettias with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. The sentiment was stamped with Obsidian Pigment Ink and die cut out before adhering to the card with more foam tape. 

If you have followed me for a while, you know that I cannot resist a tag! I stamped a poinsettia and two leaves from the Altenew Linear Life: Poinsettias Stamp Set onto Altenew Vellum Translucent Paper using Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. They were die cut using the Altenew Linear Life: Poinsetias Die Set.

I stamped the sentiment from the set onto black cardstock and heat embossed in white also. It was also die cut with the dies. I die cut a tag from the Altenew Terrific Tags Die Set and using an Altenew Small Blending Tool, blended Altenew Rose Peal Fresh Dye Inks on top. 

The leaves were adhered to the tag with small dabs of liquid glue. I adhered the sentiment over the flower, I hid foam tape behind, before adhering to the tag. To finish off, I added  a few Bubble embellishments and twine through the top of the tag.
