Hello friends!
Warning: Super-heavy photo post
Yay, it's February Stencils, Decals and Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop from Altenew!
I am super excited to share 4 projects as I was having so much fun creating.
If you arrive from the fabulous Mindy Eggen'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
First up, let's start with my favorite dies from this release!
#1 Feature products: Dotted Starburst Debossing Cover Die, Nesting Frame Dies
This gorgeous cover die can be used in many creative ways.
I applied the "Spotlighting" and "Inlaid/Stacked Die-cutting techniques into this card.
I lightly colored the focal point with Altenew Artist Markers and inked up the edges with Sea Breeze. The sentiment is from Ornamental Bliss Stamp Set.
If you are wondering how I got the blue ink onto the cover plate, please come back for a simple tutorial in upcoming weeks!!
#2 Feature products: Hand-Drawn Tile Stencil
This stencil not only comes in as TILES, it also has some beautiful borders. You are not limited to just create the tile look because you can use it for borders and frames.
For my focal point, I tiled the stencil and applied Altenew Embossing Paste first. I then added Nuvo Pure Sheen Gold Glitter over and that's it!
The Scrip Words Die Set was used in this card and next (4th ) card.
#3 Feature products: Tranquil Wings Stencil
I love adding gradient effect with stencils. This Tranquil Wings Stencil is perfect for that.
The Painted Orchid Washi Tape was adhered at the bottom and I ran the Dotted Swirls Dobossing Cover Die (one of my favorite) and did the "Partial-Die-cutting".
I added some details and shine with Crystal Stickles.
#4 Feature products: Fine Frame Square Dies, Open Blooms 3D Die Set
This clean and simple card has all the lovely elements thanks to the well thought-out dies.
The 3D flowers were created with Cherry Blossom and Green Meadow Gradient Card Stock.
I hope you enjoy seeing the new products and get some inspiration from the blog hop.

Virginia, your cards are so beautiful. My favorite is the 1st with the lovely inking of the floral dotted die cut background.
Great cards, love the butterfly one the best but they are all wonderful!
Love all your new cards. However, the show stopper is your Open Bloom 3D card. The gold fine edge frames really set off the lovely layered flower. The gradient card stock In the pinks is lovely with the teals/greens. Love that card!

Everyone of your cards is a masterpiece. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi,
Your cards are beautiful. The first one reminds me of a delicate starfish in the water. That last card is my favorite, with Altenew's Fine Frames in gold surrounding the beautiful Open Bloom layered flower.
Thank you for sharing your ideas!
Gorgeous cards, your color choices have me longing for spring flowers more than ever!
Card #4 is so beautiful. The 3D Bloom and Fine Frames just go together. Very elegant. Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait to see that video, Virginia. I hope you will show us how to get the same pattern across the two layers.....I can never figure out how to do that! And your 3D die cut flower with the gold squares is exquisite! You are so talented, and I like that you share it with us!
WOW, my must-have list just keeps growing with each new post. Your cards are unique and gorgeous examples of the new stencils and dies. Thanks for sharing your talent and inspiration.
Your cards are awesome! I love the soft colors on the first card.
Beautiful cards, Virginia! I just adore your color selection for the Open Bloom card.
Beautiful cards, love the color combos and the first card is my fave of this gorgeous bunch!
Beautiful cards! I love the dotted cover die on white. It really makes the design pop.
I can't decide which of your projects i like best. All so great. Love that tile stencil!
These are all sooooo beautiful!! I specially like the last one with those thin gold frames (my favorite product from this release!)!
Such lovely cards, and you make it sound so easy. I guess I DO need to come back for your tutorials! I really appreciate your point that the tile die can be used for borders, backgrounds, etc. I'm sure this can be done with many other stencils too - wonderful idea! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!
such amazing cards
