Altenew | November 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the November 2025 release with a fun blog hop. I already shared one card using the release, which you can see here, and today, I have a few more to share using the new release. 

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

CORAL CHARM PEONY + BUBBLY BUMBLE BEE

My first card uses the new Craft-A-Flower: Coral Charm Peony Layering Die Set. I started off by die cutting the petals, flower centres and leaves from white cardstock. I then added ink blending on top using Altenew Mini Blending Brushes. I used Altenew Bubblegum Dreams Fresh Dye Inks for the petals and Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks for the centres. 

I used Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks for the leaves. I shaped the petals using a stylus and then adhered one on top of another using the keyhole system, followed by the flower centres. I adhered the leaves onto a US A2 sized white card base first, with liquid glue. 

The flower was then adhered on top. I die cut the Altenew Bubbly Bumble Bee Layering Die Set from white cardstock for the wings and yellow parts, and Altenew Crafty Necessities: Jet Black Cardstock for the black parts. I added ink blending to the yellow parts with Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks and a little Altenew Dew Drops Fresh Dye Ink for the wings. 

The bee was assembled and adhered together using liquid glue and then adhered to the card with two layers of Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I stamped a sentiment from Altenew Build-A-Garden: Climbing Clematis onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. It was die cut out using the coordinating dies and adhered to the card with more foam tape. To finish, I added dots using Altenew Fine Liner Pens. 

DANCING COSMOS

My next card uses the new Altenew Dancing Cosmos. There is an embossing folder, as well as stencils (sold separately) that you can use to colour the image. I started off by placing a panel of white cardstock inside the Altenew Dancing Cosmos 3D Embossing Folder and running it through my die cutting machine. 

I then placed the stencils on top, one by one, to add colour using ink blending. I used Altenew Moonlit Twilight Fresh Dye Inks for the petals, Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks for the flower centres and Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks for the leaves and stems. The panel was then adhered to a US A2 sized white card base. 

I stamped a sentiment from Altenew Build-A-Garden: Climbing Clematis onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. It was die cut out using the coordinating dies and adhered to the card with foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins. 

SWEET LIFE

My last card today uses the Altenew Mini Delight: Sweet Life Stamp & Die Set. I die cut the cupcake from white cardstock and then added ink blending. I used the new Altenew Earth Tones Fresh Dye Inks for the cupcake wrapper and cake itself. I used Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks for the frosting. It was adhered together using liquid glue. 

I then stamped the lemon slice from stamp set using the same Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks. The flower was stamped using Altenew Bubblegum Dreams Fresh Dye Inks and the leaves Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks. The images were then fussy cut out using scissors. 

I adhered the leaves first to a white A2 sized card base, followed by the flower. The cupcake was adhered next using Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape, followed by the lemon slice. I stamped a sentiment from the Altenew Classic Greetings Stamp 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. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins. 

WAX SEAL STAMPS + WAX BEADS

Before I go, I wanted to share that there are new wax seals and wax colours, if wax sealing is something you are into. The photo above shows the Altenew Sunflower Wax Seal Stamp used with new Altenew Frosty Pink Wax Beads. 

I also used it with the new Altenew Ocean Mist, Pearl White, Dreamy Periwinkle and Sapphire Wax Beads. I like making these wax seals to have them ready to go to add to envelopes, tags, cards etc. I love the new colours!
