Altenew November Release Blog Hop + Giveaway
Hello everyone and happy Friday! This particular Friday is indeed a very happy one as we are celebrating the new Altenew release and its another truly gorgeous!
Altenew introduced not only 10 new stamp sets (one of which is in Korean), but also 6 new specialty papers! Here’s a little photo of the new papers:
I was very busy during the past couple of weeks working on the upcoming Die Cutting Techniques Class so I only made one project to share today (fingers crossed I’ll make a few more by the end of the day in time to include in this blog post).
I used a Beautiful Day 6×8 stamp set to stamp the floral background, this is a stamp layering set and no coloring mediums were used here, just 4 shades of Altenew Crisp inks in Purple (soft lilac, lavender fields, midnight violet, deep iris). Sentiment came from the same stamp set.
I did manage to make one more project using new papers – I used Birch Wood for stamping the sentiment from the new Thinking of You set and heat embossing the flowers from the Wild Hibiscus stamp set; used Woodgrain Bark and also Gold Mirror.
The Birch Wood doesn’t work well for stamping (as no wood surface ever is), but its fabulous for die cutting and heat embossing. Really makes your projects pop.

November 13, 2015Yana, thank you so much for sharing! Your cards are beautiful and inspiring! I have been looking for a stamp set with the sentiments of “thinking of you & hugs”. I have a 14 year old grandson who just came home after being hospitalized for over 2 months and I keep looking for different stamps so I can send him a different card every week. Question: do you know where I could find some dinosaur stamps appropriate for a 14 year old with mild autism? PS. He recently had a stroke and is now a quadrapalegic. Hence, why I’m trying to find dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals for the cards I make for him. Thanks for any help you can me!
