Hello friends!
It's that exciting time again!
Altenew is releasing more new stamp, dies and INKS this month!
If you arrive from Anna Kossakovskaya's blog, you are in the right place.
If not, come on and join the fun hop to be inspired and perhaps...win a prize! For the hop details, please visit Altenew Card Blog and Altenew Scrapbook Blog.
I have created 3 projects with today's hop. Let's get to it, shall we?
My first card features this amazing "Sewn with Love" Stamp and Die Bundle.
Can you believe this was 100% stamped!?
If you are like me...."SEW-challenged" and you love the look of intricate look of cross stitching,
this "Sewn with Love" Stamp and Die Bundle is IT!
I love the matching die as it is very helpful with layering images. I normally stamp first and make the die cut later. In this case, I did the die-cutting first instead.
I strongly encourage you to get the Sewn With Love Die as it is a really good guide to help align the layered stamping. The heart was stamped with the new ink from Coral Bliss Crisp Ink.
The sentiment was stamped with the new Hunter Green Crisp Dye Ink.
My next card was created with this fun and versatile Trigonometry Stamps/Die Bundle.
I took a colorful approach and stamped the triangles.
This stamp set has some visually stunning graphics and details.
The gold-embossed images are perfect for embellishments.
What could be more perfect to stamp the sentiment, well...THREE times!?
The next card was created with Happy Bloom Stamp/Die Bundle.
There are so many ways to use this stamp set. I simply inked up the Altenew Ink with water and painted the images.
The large white -embossed images provides the perfect accent/background.
I also highlighted the white details by using this pen. It is the BEST white pen that I have ever come across. The best part? It is also inexpensive!
What do you think? I have a LOT more to share as I will be sharing them in the next few days. If you like Ornamental Flowers Stamp/Die and Stunning Cosmos Stamp/Die,
, you will have to come back to check them out.

Wowza. . . what great, vibrant backgrounds! So excited about this new release!
My first thought when I saw the Sewn with Love set, was that it would be perfect for our oldest daughter! Then that Trig set would be perfect for all the masculine cards I need for my family. And there's even a set just for me! Those Happy Blooms are fabulous!! Virginia, your cards are amazing! Gorgeous colors, and wonderful designs. So happy I stopped to see what you've made! Can't wait to see more. Bev
