Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the August 2025 release. Another wonderful release this month - stamps, dies, embossing folders, pens, storage pockets and more! Today I have two projects to share with you, plus a look at the new pens and storage pockets.

ROSE REVERIE
My first card uses the new Altenew Build-A-Garden: Rose Reverie. I started off by stamping the image onto a panel of white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. I then used the coordinating stencils to colour the image in using ink blending. I used Altenew Deep Blue Seas Fresh Dye Inks for the petals and Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks for the leaves.
I then die cut it out using the coordinating die. I adhered it to a US A2 sized white card base using Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape, cutting off the excess from the sides using scissors. I stamped a sentiment from the set onto Altenew Crafty Necessities Jet Black Cardstock using Altenew Embossing Ink.
I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Ivory Pearl Dots.
BRIGHT BLOOMS + FINE LINER PENS
For my next project, I created a tag using the new Bright Blooms Layering Die Set and Fine Liner Pens. I started off by die cutting two sets of the dies in the Altenew Bright Blooms Layering Die Set from white cardstock. I added ink blending to the petals using Altenew Pocketful of Sunshine Fresh Dye Inks. I used Altenew Coffee Break Fresh Dye Inks for the flower centres.
I die cut the leaves from the Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Prairie Roses Layering Die Set from white cardstock and added ink blending to them using Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks. I then assembled the flowers using the keyhole system and liquid glue. I die cut an Altenew Terrific Tags Die from white cardstock and adhered the leaves and flowers on top using liquid glue. I then die cut the hole reinforcer from Altenew Labels & Tags 2 Die Set from Altenew Crafty Necessities Jet Black Cardstock and adhered that at the top.
Instead of adding embellishments, I thought I would add "splatter" using the new Altenew Fine Liner Pens 2.0. Although difficult to see, I used a few different sizes for the dots - mainly 01 and 03, but I did use 005 for the tiny ones too!
I stamped a sentiment from Altenew Build-A-Garden: Rose Reverie onto Altenew Crafty Necessities Jet Black Cardstock using Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the tag using Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. To finish, I tied twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow.
STORAGE POCKETS
Before I go, I wanted to share that there are two new sizes of storage pockets available now. The ones on the left are 4.5" x 6" Storage Pockets and are great for smaller stamp sets but also die cuts, wax seals and general storage for smaller bits and bobs. The ones of the right are the 6.5" x 8.5" Storage Pockets and fit embossing folders and paper pads, plus lots more!
