Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the October 2024 release. The release is full of stamps, dies, press plates, stencils, embossing folders, embellishments, inks, tools and more and I am using a few of them on my projects today.

disclosure.
CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: BLOSSOMS OF
ENCOURAGEMENT
I started off my first card by stamping the large floral image in the set onto white cardstock using
Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. I then placed the stencils on top, one by one, to colour the image using ink blending with blending with
Mini Blending Brushes.
LEAFY SPENDOR + ONE-GO: SENTIMENT STRIPS
My next card uses the new
Altenew Leafy Splendor 3D Embossing Folder. There is a coordinating stencil that works with the folder, but I just used the folder today. I simply placed a panel of white cardstock inside the folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.
The images were then coloured using
Altenew Artist Alcohol Markers before die cutting out using the coordinating dies. I cut another of the wreath die from white cardstock and adhered behind the stamped one for added dimension. It was then adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with liquid glue. The flowers were adhered on top with foam tape (just in the places were it does not overlap the wreath).
CRAFTY NECESSITIES CARDSTOCK
Releasing this month are 21 new colours of
Altenew Crafty Necessities Cardstock. If you are not familiar with it, the cardstock colours match the existing colour family colours that match the inks, embellishments etc. The 8.5" x 11" cardstock is released in packs of 10 and are between 80lb - 90lb in weight depending on colour.

ReplyDeleteWOW, WOW, WOW.... Michelle, you've blown me away! Totally flabbergasted at all the gorgeousness... from the first two that use different versions of the same design (both so beautiful!!) to the Leafy Splendor and Blooms of Friendship cards. The way that last one is colored is phenomenal. Your talent is just off the charts. The last card with the lilac blooms is a stunner as well.
