Altenew | February 2024 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the February 2024 release. It is filled with lots of stamps, dies, stencils, embossing folders, embellishments and tools, plus lots more! 

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

My first project uses Altenew Build-A-Garden Blooming Delight. I stamped the main floral image from the stamp set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. I then took the stencils and one by one, placed them over the image and added ink blending to colour it in. 

I used Altenew Enchanted Garden and Cherry Blossom Crisp Dye Inks for the flower petals, Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks for the flower centres and Altenew Green Valley Crisp Dye Inks for the leaves. The image was then die cut out using the coordinating die. 

It was adhered onto a US A2 sized white card base with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I stamped a sentiment from the Altenew Sweet Jasmine Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. I die cut it out using the Altenew Sweet Jasmine Die Set and adhered it to the card. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Iridescent Gem Sparkles. 

My next project uses the Sweet Jasmine collection - there is a stamp set, die set, stencils, press plate and embossing folder in this collection that can be purchased all together as a bundle, or separately. 

I started off by stamping the image from the Altenew Sweet Jasmine Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. Using the Altenew Sweet Jasmine Simple Coloring Stencil Set, I coloured the image using ink blending.

I used Altenew Cherry Blossom Crisp Dye Inks for the petals, Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks for the flower centres, and Altenew Green Valley Crisp Dye Inks for the leaves. It was die cut out using the Altenew Sweet Jasmine Die Set and set aside. 

I took the Altenew Essential Textures: Wood Press Plate and instead of pressing it, I embossed it to give a different texture. The panel was adhered to a white US A2 sized white card base, followed by the flower on top using foam tape. The sentiment, stamped with Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink, was adhered on top. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Crystal Clear Gem Sparkles. 

My last project today uses the Altenew Sweet Jasmine 3D Embossing Folder. I die cut an Altenew Terrific Tag Die from white cardstock and added ink blending on top using Altenew Blue Mountains Fresh Dye Ink. I placed it inside the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. 

I then added Altenew Cloud White Pigment Ink on top, to just the raised areas to highlight them. I then mixed a little of the darker ink white water and splattered it on the tag. I adhered another tag to the back (for stability) and threaded twine through the top and tied in a bow. 

I took the sentiment from Altenew Build-A-Garden: Blooming Delight and stamped it onto black cardstock using Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip using the new Altenew Comfy Cut craft knife and adhered to the tag using Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. To finish, I added a few white gel pen dots.
