Altenew | Shoot For The Moon Window Card

Altenew | Shoot For The Moon Window Card. September Release Blog Hop. Giveaway (now closed)

Hello there and thank you for stopping by to celebrate Altenew September Release – there are new coordinating dies, several new colors of ink, reinkers and glitter tapes (more about the hop and new products below).

I have a window card to share today combining a few products – a new coordinating die set for the Big World stamp set and the Shoot For The Moon stamp set. The first thing I wanted to do when I got the new globe dies is try and fit the moon inside the globe for an uncommon look. Love the way this turned out, but you can also stamp the Earth in the same manner.

Like this project? Pin it and save for later! 

The card base for my card was made out of black cardstock and I followed this tutorial I shared a few weeks ago for an easy ink blended galaxy background. Saves a lot of time and makes easier on the wrist. I also sprayed Distress Mica Spray over my background to add shimmer and stars, added drops of white watercolor and drew in some white stars using a white Uni-Ball gel pen (I was looking for a good white pen for a long time and this one is fantastic).

The moon was stamped using two light gray ink colors from Altenew – Morning Frost and Evening Gray; I stamped it onto a piece of white cardstock cut to 4 x 5 1/2″ and adhered inside my black card. The sentiment, Shoot For The Moon, was heat embossed in white embossing powder onto black cardstock that was also sprayed with Mica spray and looks shimmery.

Window opening was made using the circle die from the Big World die set, it is perfect in size to accommodate the moon from the Shoot for the Moon set, and the globe stand was cut out of white and foam mounted for a pop of dimension. I also added several sparkling clear sequins, drops and beads to finish the background and create some additional celestial bodies in the sky.

I wondered what this project would look like had I made the colors darker and used no blue, so I changed it to black in white in my photo editing software and I really loved this look. Might make a card in these colors later.

    1. Stunning card. Gorgeous sky and wonderful combination of the old and new Altenew goodies.

    1. Absolutely amazing card Yana! The black one looks fab too, would love to see you try that one at a later time. It’s another fab release from Altenew – I think the coffee love die set is going to go in my wishlist.

    1. I’ve seen you use the mica sprays and I love the effect. Thanks for your inspiration.

    1. I am most exited about the Big world die set and stamps. I already have the moon, and i love it!

    1. AWESOME! The blue background wins by a fraction!
      I love the new inks and the alpha dies.

    1. The alphabet dies have caught my attention because that is a die set I am lacking. Your card is “out of this world”.

    1. What a fun card Yana! Love that space background and the way you used this die to create a shaker card. My favourite item from this release is the beautiful new set of blue inks. Love them!

    1. Your background is amazing (as usual). Thank you for the easier version and tutorial. Need to try this… Thanks a bunch!

    1. Yana, your card is stunning! I love your tutorial on creating your background! Thanks for the inspiration and for the opportunity to win!

    1. Your cards are so beautiful! Your galaxy background blows me away. Love all the new releases

    1. Gorgeous Yana! Those backgrounds are out of this world, no pun intended, flawless!!! I’d love to see a video using these dark colors. Thanks for sharing and always inspiring.

    1. Fabulous card! Love that background – both in blue and in black, but I think I prefer the blue.

    1. I love how you created the Moon on your card! … and.. I personally love the inks of this release the most! 🙂

    1. What a gorgeous night sky! I personally prefer the blue. Love the idea of the cutout and moon globe instead of earth!

    1. Great backgrounds – am loving the new inks that were in this release. Gorgeous new colors!

    1. Love your card! I think the galaxy background is fabulous. Thanks for sharing. It’s great that they added a matching die for this stamp set. But, I think the release that wins my vote is the alphabet set.
