Altenew January 2018 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted on January 11, 2018 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to the Altenew January 2018 Release Blog Hop! Here are the new and (of course) fabulous products we have in January!! If you arrived here from Erum Tasneem’s blog you are on the right track!

For my first two cards, I used the Creative Edges: Lace die and the Rose Flurries 3D die set. As soon as I saw the Rose Flurries 3D, I completely fell in love with it! I’m sure you’ll like it, too.
I die cut A2 sized rectangle panel from white card stock, then die cut from the right side of the panel using brand new Creative Edges: Lace die. For the flowers, I die cut them from coloured card stocks using the Rose Flurries 3D die set, then made a bunch of flowers.
For my second card, I used glitter gold flowers on navy card base!! It’s simply beautiful and elegant!

The new sentiment “Thinking of You” die is so gorgeous!! First, I made a floral background using the Flower Arrangement stamp set. Next I die cut the “Thinking of You” from the centre of the stamped panel. I stacked 4 other die cuts under the stamped sentiment cut using fine tip glue pen. After mounting, I lightly coloured the sentiment with Tattered Rose Distress ink and water brush.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Carnation + Giveaway

Posted on December 14, 2017 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends!
This month’s build-a-flower set features a beautiful carnation. The meaning of carnation includes fascination, distinction, and love, and its use in art and decor dates back to ancient Greek and Roman times. With their ruffled appearance and classic beauty, these flowers possess a charm and allure that continues to captivate people around the globe. Alongside the multi-step carnation, we have included two-step leaves, berries, and a cluster of tiny flowers that can be used as filler images for your flower arrangements! The set also includes three kindness sentiments that are great for any occasion.
Altenew Build-A-Flower: Carnation

Here is what I came up with:
When I saw the beautiful Carnation set, I wanted to make very feminine card. :D I stamped layered carnations & leaves using some dye inks, and then die cut them with the matching dies:
Red carnation: (light to dark) Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, Ruby Red
Pink carnation: Frosty Pink, Peach Perfect, Cotton Candy, Coral Berry
Leaves: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades
Before mounting the cluster of carnations, I decorated the Spicy Yogurt card base with lace.

Please visit and leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog for a chance to win one of THREE $30 gift certificates!!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a lovely day!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Altenew December Release Blog Hop

Posted on December 9, 2017 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!
Welcome to the Altenew December Release Blog Hop!! If you arrived here from Altenew Scrapbook blog you are on the right track!

In December, we have 14 brand new stamp sets & matching die sets, 2 stand-alone die sets and..ta-da! new Mini Blossom Die Cutting Machine!! Our Mini Blossom Die Cutting Machine is the compact and portable must-have tool for your craft room! It is designed to work with Altenew dies (sold separately) and other wafer-thin metal dies. It can be used to quickly and easily die cut a variety of materials, including cardstock and Altenew specialty papers, and will help you add texture and dimension to your projects. The elegant and clean design will look wonderful on your craft desk, secured on its stable base with suction feet.

For my first card, I used the Happy Together stamp set and “Thank you” word die in the Flower Arrangement die set. I started by stamping flowers from the Happy Together set randomly onto watercolour paper panel in pigment black ink, and then watercoloured the panel with several Distress inks.
I die cut “Thank you” sentiment from white card stock using the Flower Arrangement die set. It’s a beautiful and trendy script font!

For my second card, I used the Peony Spray stamp set – I love this set in particular!

Flower card again!! :D For my last card, I used the Flower Arrangement stamp set. I randomly stamped layered flowers & leaves with lots of dye inks:
Red flowers: (light to dark) Frosty Pink, Coral Berry, Ruby Red
Yellow flowers: Mango Smoothie, Honey Drizzle, Orange Cream
Blue flowers: Sea Glass, Ocean Waves, Desert Night
Large leaves: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen
Small leaves: Bamboo, Parrot, Olive
and then watercoloured around the stamped images with some Distress inks.
