Hello friends!
Warning: heavy photo post
Yay, it's September Release Blog Hop from Altenew!
I am super excited to share 4 projects with you.
If you arrive from the talented Therese Calvird's blog, you are in the right place!
All the details about this blog hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog
I can't wait to show you what I created because the release is amazing!
Feature stamp #1: Circle Quilt Cover Die.
Firstly, let's get cozy with the Circle Quilt Cover Die.
This cover die can cut through all those pieces obviously. BUT....
... I decided to dry-emboss the cover die and created the quilt-like effect.
You can use pattern paper for the dry-embossing. Here I created my own color paper and I kept the colors soft to evoke a cozy feeling. I am not sure if I succeeded, but I really loved the textured aspect.
Feature stamp #2: Birch Impressionism and Modern Poinsettia
This card feature two new sets. The Birch Impressions is awesome for the background and comes with coordinating stamp/die Bundle. The Modern Poinsettia is well....simply exquisite!
I love the modern font for the sentiment.
As you can see the shine on the Birch Tree background. I applied a very small amount of Zig Chisel Tip Glue Pen and applied the Ranger Shiny Transfer Foil Sheet over it. This left a shine from the foil and it is just the right touch!
The Modern Poinsettia was white-embossed over the DIY paper (created with Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set). I fussy cut the poinsettia out and popped it over the center with foam tape.
Feature stamp #3: "Happy Pomegranates"
The hand-drawn images and simple sentiments, this lovely set of pomegranates has a great deal of possibilities! ANY media is perfect for this: coloring, embossing, ink-blending....etc.

The gold-embossed images are perfect for the rich colors.
This card is complete with the splatter and vellum sentiment.
I love how rich and gorgeous really celebrate the Fall and Thanksgiving.
Feature stamp #4: Festive Foliage
I absolutely love how the stamp and ink "speak".
Since "Festive Foliage" was so easy to stamp, I created another version.
I silver-embossed the heart in this one to add some shine and subtle texture.
I highly recommend this stamp Festive Foliage, especially if you want to stamp multiples as a card set and give them as gift. OR simply mass produce the design for your office/co-workers.
I hope that you are inspired by this release and can't wait to get inky!

What a release! Lots of interesting products to play with and add to my craft necessities. I believe I don't have a fruit stamp set in my collection. The Pomegranate stamp set has the potential to be my first.
Great line up of cards. I especially like the poinsettia with the birch tree background.
dry emboss quilt die. loved it.
Such great cards - I love the colors you used. The favorite is the poinsettia with the birch tree stamp background. That birch tree is one of my must have from the release. You can use it for so many things. 💕💕
I love your samples, Virginia! The embossed quilt background looks like I could sew a whole bunch together and wrap myself up! Brava!
Beautiful cards! I love the background you created with the Circle Quilt Cover Die! And the Modern Poinsettia is just gorgeous!
Wow - great cards! I love the Festive Foliage stamp set and your samples are great. Thanks for the inspiration!
My. my...you've been busy. So many holiday cards to add to your pile, done. And what amazing cards they are. Love the cozy textured card and the lovely silver foil accents on that fabulous poinsettia card. The glow of the colors and embossing on the pomegranite card is luscuous. And those tree cards are really going to be appreciated by the recipients. Wow! I'm out of breath.
Virginia, I love all of your cards, but your cozy quilt speaks to me most!
I love the colors you used on your cards. The first card is my favorite it reminds me of a quilt.
Love all your cards! Your creative juices must have been really flowing!
LOVE this new release!! Even though I usually don't care for non-traditional colors on Christmas cards your color combos are very striking.
I loved your card that you used the emboss/resist technique.....it turned out just so pretty. All of your work is always pretty!!!
Thank you for sharing today....this blog hop has been so much fun!!!
Fabulous array of designs using the new products. That quilt looks so soft! And I really love the poinsettia. It is stunning!

Oh my!!!! I love your cards, Virginia!!!! My favorite is the Thanksgiving card... love everything about it-- composition and colors <3 <3 <3 Thanks for inspiring me always!!!
Love all of your cards. I especially like the textured effect you got by dry embossing with the circle cover die. The Birch IMpressions and Modern Poinsettia card is a real favorite. The horizontal orientation of the birch trees is so effective with the poinsettia. The color scheme is perfect!
These cards are so beautiful!
Inspired by your cards, they are so fabulous. :)
Love how you embossed with that beautiful circle die and the christmas trees are just gorgeous. Hugz
Beautiful cards, so much inspiration, thank you! Love the quilt card, so cozy and my favorite is the poinsettia on the layered birch tree background, I think that one is stunning.
You've been busy, Virginia! Love them all, but I really love that gorgeous poinsettia card.
Altenew is really "thinking outside the box" on their designs lately, so awesome
What a wonderful set of cards! I love the new cover plate die! :)
Beautiful cards, Virginia! My favorite is the gorgeous poinsettia! A gorgeous stamp & your background is perfect.
I like the different techniques on the display.
We are leaving for our cruise to Alaska tomorrow Virginia & I've grabbed every spare (& non-spare) minute I have to complete this blog hop as your name is 2nd from the bottom & I HAD to see what you've come up with. Well! I'm impressed! Each one is lovely & I have to confess the Happy Pomegranate card & the Birch Impression card are my very favourites. Each of the stamp sets are on my wishlist which is far too large to ever hope of being able to afford them, but, it doesn't hurt to dream.
Love the quilt card! All your cards are beautiful! TFS
So many great cards, Virginia! But that second one has a definite WOW factor for me!
OMG!!!! The poinsettia card is so pretty!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Beautiful cards and lovely colors, thank you for sharing!

Wonderful cards. My fave is the first one with the cozy quilt look.
Love your designs. The background shading on your card is gorgeous!
These are quite a collection of beautiful cards and I like them all. Based on my special liking for the Pomegranate stamp set, my favorite of them all uses this stamp set.
Beautiful cards! The colors and the ink blending on the pomegranates are stunning!
love the poinsettia and the happy pomegranites!
An amazing set of cards, Virginia! I love the colours on your dry embossed first card, and the gorgeous poinsettia Christmas card! Thanks so much for the wonderful inspiration!
Your cards are all just beautiful a usual Virginia!! I really love the one you gold embossed before you colored it!!
And yet another great release. Love all the projects made. Love that stay cozy card.
I love the background of your first card, it looks like one of my baby wipes I use to clean my stencils off, I always save them hoping to find another use for them. :)
It is amazing - your first card really does look like a quilt! great job!
This release is just so amazing. I love everything you did using the products, 'cause it's hard for me to imagine finished projects when I'm just looking at packages of items. Love the birch trees and how you combined them with poinsettias.
Totally love your Modern Poinsettia Card! It my favorite!!
I *LOVE* the quilted look you made with the first card - such a great idea!

Your cards are so beautiful, Virginia! I really love how you dry embossed that cover die on your first card. Those soft colors you used look so pretty and you definitely created the "quilt look" you were going for! Thanks for sharing your awesome creativity with us!
All these cards are gorgeous. I especially love the first one using the Circle Quilt Cover die (my favorite from this fantastic release). Your colors and coloring are beautiful.
An amazing release which you have highlighted very well!
