Hello friends!
😉Warning: Super photo-heavy post 😊
Today is an exciting day...
Altenew's June Stencil release and the blog hop is on! You can find out all the details from
Altenew Blog. If you arrive from the talented Svitlana Shayevich, you are in the right place. If not, come right in and join the hop.
There is a very helpful visual guide on the package and you can easily create cubes.
Namely, you stencil on one side and then FLIP the stencil over (after cleaning the inked stencil a bit) and match the cubes and you stencil some more....you've got yourself some COOL cubes!
I decided to create colorful cubes with inks and Cube Builder Stencil.
I paired it up with the Crafty Friends stamp set and it worked beautifully.
The Golden Peach Embossing Powder really jazzes up the sentiment, don't you think?
It is easy to create a graphic background with the stencil like this.
Pairing up the ice cream image (from Cake Love)with the Cube Builder Stencil seems perfect.
I first stamped the ice cream image with the help of MISTI. Then I made a mask (with a piece of stamped image on copy paper, cut it out and covered it). After that, it was just simple stenciling.
My next stencil is Watercolor Stripes
This stencil is absolutely versatile. I decided to try a colorful approach.
I used the 2nd lightest shade from the Altenew Inks and applied in various colors.
The cake image from Cake Love was embossed in Antique Silver and colored with Altenew inks and Altenew Artist Markers.
Last, but certainly not the least....it's Mega Rose Stencil
The image is so beautiful that one layer seems to be ideal.
This mail-friendly wedding card is a perfect example how stencils can be the vital arsenal for paper-crafting. The sentiment from Cake Love completes the design.

I can not stress enough that Altenew Inks blend so nicely. They blend like BUTTER! I didn't even add a single embellishment except to brush it with some Perfect Pearl."
Less is more. I think this card is just that.

Always love your beautiful works of art.
I love how you did the blue & green cubes (I think even I could do that! lol). But I really love your cake card. The stripes make a beautiful BG.
Lovely designs. I look forward to seeing your new stencil blog.

Hi Virginia ~ I just love how you've used the Cube Builder and Watercolor Stripes stencils. The boldness of the cubes is fun and the softness of the stripes is incredibly lovely. And that Mega Rose card? Outstanding!! This release has thrilled me with all the fabulous stencils and your cards are all beautiful examples of how impactfully they can be used. Thanks for the inspiration. ~HUGS~

love your soft summery colors! The cubes are really cool1
I love the soft colors that you used for your cards with the stencils today. All of your cards are fabulous!
You are a talented lady. I love your work!
Your cards are just wonderful! I am having a hard time picking a favorite. But I think it has to be the striped background with the cake stamp! Just something about your color choices really made that card jump out at me!
Such beautiful cards!
Virginia, these are fantastic cards. Well done! (I just got my first stencil yesterday! I KNOW! A shocker!LOL)
I love your use of the stencils. Although all the cards are beautiful, I think my fav is the striped one. There is something about it that just really stands out for me.
So beautiful! Your creations are stunning
Wow, you did get really creative as you said and I love, love, love it!
I love the cube stencil and how you used them. I love stencils but I don't think I use them properly. They say you should stick it to the paper but I don't know what to stick it with. It obviously has to be something that won't ruin the paper. I've done some stencils on flour sack dish towels and they came out so cool!
I love the stripes too and not to many people used that one. The cake looks perfect on there, like it just belongs. Love it!
The rose stencil would be great for my mom as her name is Rose. A lot of people used that one and I like how you used it.
All your cards are so beautiful and creative. Thanks for showing us all of them and for giving us the chance to win something. I want some of the stencils you used when I win and then I can get creative too.
I am going to have to have that cube stencil, it's so cool and love the bold softness of that last card!
Beautiful cards, Virginia!! Love the card with cube stencil and the rose one. so so pretty. :-)
Wow, so many gorgeous cards! I really need to get some of these stencils :D
Altenew has done it again! These are wonderful stencils and I love what you've done with them on your cards!
Lovely cards. The new stencils look so good But the cube builder is so clever!
Fabulous cards!
Love the backgrounds you created with the stencils. Thanks for the inspiration
Wonderful cards, love the colors & fabulous stenciled backgrounds.
So pretty! I am totally loving the way you've used the Watercolor stripes stencil. Love love love those soft pastels.
I love your cards!
The stripes and cubes are some of my favorite stencils and I like ve the way you only used a portion of the cubes on your card. Too neat!
Your cards always put a smile on my face, Virginia! I love how you show the versatility of these stencils with your beautiful art work :)
