Peace On Earth (Altenew Stamp Focus)

Hello friends!

Warning: photo-heavy post

It's my turn to do Stamp focus feature over Altenew Card Blog

 In case you are not familiar with Stamp Focus, it is to share a few projects with the same die/stamp sets. I love this kind of feature, if you follow my blog for a while. You often see my many takes on one stamp/die sets. 

Let's get right to it, shall we? 

"Peace on Earth" proves popular set in Altenew's September release.

 My first card is a one layer!

For one layer cards I like to plan out the layout  in my head first. So I first stamped the Christmas tree with a various shade of green. (Shop Green Fields Mini Simon Says Stamp here, 
Altenew here). Of course, I relied on MISTI for any type of multi-color stamping.

As for the ornament? You may not think I needed the die for this. But I actually use the die's negative (scrap paper) as a mask and applied ink (Sea Shore Ink: Altenew here, Simon Says Stamp here)

The ornament was embossed in Antique Silver A piece of DMC silver thread adds to a nice touch to the design.

For my 2nd card, I used nearly every stamp from the set!

I love the Christmas Greeting in different languages. They provide such a nice background!
The white-embossing on Dark Gray card stock seems to add a touch of sophistication.

I embossed the ornament with
The Golden Peach Crisp Embossing Powder on Bazzill Vellum. I love that it still shows the embossed background and yet the ornament is still up front and in the center.

I actually pierced a hole and tied a bow on top. A few random Champagne sequins complete the card.

My 3rd card focuses on the leaf bough/branches.

You can simply inked and die cut the pine in green and arrange them however you like. I resorted to one of my favorite medium-Alcohol Ink.
The colors I used are Patina,  Pool, Clover and Flamingo



Once I am happy with the alcohol-inked color palette, I white-embossed the pine image and made the die cut. Assemble. Add enamel dots.

Do you happen to know that Altenew's Shimmer Ink Sprays are perfect for ink-splatter? I used Coral Berry in this case.

Just when I thought I was done, I thought of another design with a shaker element...
I just HAD to try it and see for myself.



I started out with a piece of white-embossed ornament on Hot Off The Press Heat Resistent Acetate. After making the die cut on grey card stock, I added foam and insert Pixie Dust sequins in between and that pretty much was it.

 And oh...those tiny silver dots? I foiled them with Tiny Bubbles Stencil with my Heat Wave Pen (We R Memory Keeper).


Here is the grand finale.



I hope that you are convinced that Peace on Earth is one of the best new Christmas stamp sets!
