Hello crafty friends, happy Thursday!!
Welcome to the Altenew October Product Release Blog Hop! You should have arrived from so amazing Nicole Picadura!!
In October, we are releasing 16 stamp sets for creating Christmas projects and my card today features the Bells and Bows & Holiday Wishes Stamp Sets – Christmas is coming and festivity is already in the air!!
I used a lot of Altenew dye inks to stamp the Christmas bells and bows :D I randomly stamped the layered images from the Bells and Bows set on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel using dye inks (I used a MISTI to get exact placement of my stamped layers):
Red bells on the top part: Peach Perfect (the base layer), Ruby Red (outline and dark shadow)
Brown bell: Rocky Shore (base), Mocha (shadow), Espresso (outline)
Blue bell on the right side: Sea Glass (base), Desert Night (outline and dark shadow)
Blue bell on the left side: Ocean Waves (base), Dusk (shadow), Desert Night (outline)
Green bell on the right side: Mango Smoothie (base), Evergreen (outline and dark shadow)
Green bell on the left side: Frayed Leaf (base), Forest Glades (shadow), Evergreen (outline)
Red bell on the bottom: Frosty Pink (base), Crimson (shadow), Grapevine (outline) and I used Dark Chocolate to stamp the darkest part of them.
Green bow: Frayed Leaf (lightest), Forest Glades, Evergreen (darkest)
Red bow: Frosty Pink, Coral Berry, Ruby Red
Yellow bow: Warm Sunshine, Rocky Shore, Mocha
Brown bow: Sand Dunes, Rocky Shore, Mocha
Purple bow: Lavender Fields, Deep Iris, Midnight Violet. (Phew!!)
For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Holiday Wishes set on red card stock in white, cut it with banner die. I mounted the stamped panel on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment banner on it using foam tape. I decorated the sentiment banner with natural twine bow, silver jingle bell, and some tiny star wood veneers because it’s Christmas!!
It’s so colourful, isn’t it? If you’re considering buying some inks, I strongly recommend the Altenew dye inks. The colours are so truly beautiful!!

I love this bell and bow set! All those colors are so beautiful, what a pretty card.
This stamp set has totally caught my attention! It is a different feel of images than I would normally gravitate to. You did a fabulous job!
My favorite set!
Wow what a beautiful and colorful card! I love it! I so badly want the Bells & Bows stamp set!
Great use of this stamp set! Love your card.
Love those bells and bows, Yoonsun! Appreciate you telling us what colors you used for each image on this colorful Christmas card.
Wow! Stunning card! The stamping just pops! Awesome!
The colors on your card are outstanding! I love colors and the more the better. Today I have on a yellow, my favorite color shirt with sequin and glitter butterflies. My jeans have sequin fancy butterflies on them so as you can see I love colors. I love how the inks look too and when I win, I am also going to buy some of their inks. The colors of ink are amazing and the way they look on paper is amazing too. I am very picky about ink and it has to look just right. I think I found the right ink.
I would never have guessed those bells had been stamped. It looks like you’ve spent absolutely ages using coloured pencils. What a wonderful set of inks. Oh dear – looks like I might have to make some space in my craftroom. Thanks for sharing.
This is my favorite stamp set! Your card is beautiful and the colors are awesome!
I love the way you used the stamps and the colors together.
