Altenew October 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends! Today we are celebrating a brand new release of gorgeous stamps and dies by Altenew. I actually designed two of the stamp sets that are part of the release, Blooming Branches and Playful Blooms.

I’m super excited about these stamp sets as well as all the amazing products that come in this release.

Make sure to read all the way through for all the giveaway details and of course visit the Altenew Card Blog and the Altenew Scrapbook Blog.

So for this blog hop, I created a few cards based on the same idea. I used the beautiful Dainty Swiss Dots Stamp Set on my background, decorated the center of my card with a floral cluster and added my sentiment towards the lower half of the card. Even though I created all my cards from the same starting point I played around with other elements to make each one of them look unique and exciting.

For this card I used the Layered Floral Elements Die Set and colored the die cut images using my favorite Altenew Artist Markers. I added a couple of Nuvo drops at the centers of my flowers and finished my card with a sentiment from the  Playful Blooms set.

For my next card I used the Always There Stamp Set. To make my floral cluster more interesting, I some fully stamped colorful images with a few pieces of plain black outline images. I added a bit of Nuvo glaze in my central flower to make it stand out even more and finished my card with an orange sentiment strip.

Of course I had to use my own designs to create a couple of cards as well. So I made a lovely pink card using my Playful Blooms Stamp set. I just stamped a bunch of flowers without the stems in various shades of pinks and put them together into a beautiful central piece. The sentiment I used on this card is also from the Playful Blooms stamp set.

Last but certainly not least, I created a card using my Blooming Branches Stamp Set. What I love the most about this set is that you can create multiple variations of the same image. You can use the dies on their own without stamping, You can stamp both images and die cut around them with the coordinating dies and you can stamp only the stem but cut it out with the bigger die so that the white space will look like a fluffy flower.

To finish this card I added a little piece of twine to add an overall rustic look.

wonderful ideas, love this release!
Mirella Rogan October 11, 2018 - 7:11 PM
These are all so gorgeous! The dotted background adds so much to your designs! Peace Love Joy is my favourite set, and I think it would look fab as either tag decorations, or little hand-made tree ornaments.
Catherine October 11, 2018 - 8:02 PM
Beautiful cards .I have to admit the dotted background stamp is my # 1 choice out of all these great sets.
Joetta October 11, 2018 - 8:08 PM
I would never have thought to use the orange and pink together that way. It is stunning.

Johanna T. October 12, 2018 - 2:28 PM
I love how you colored some flowers and left others white. It looks great! My favorite is product in this release is probably the Dainty Swiss Dots background stamp. It caught my eye earlier in the blog hop, and your cards just showcase it even more.
Kathleen Difato October 12, 2018 - 3:06 PM
I like them all! But my favorite is the blooming branches set. I like the delicateness of it and how you could intersperse them amidst other florals. So lovely.
Billie Sue Woolley October 12, 2018 - 4:07 PM
All of your cards are so pretty. I haven't used a lot of background stamps, but your cards have inspired me to try more.

Hi Zinia, Congratulations on having your illustrations become Altenew stamps! How exciting! All of your cards are lovely! I am most excited about the new frame dies. I've been searching for the perfect set and this is it! It will fill a big gap in my supplies and make cutting layers so much easier.
Eva N October 13, 2018 - 4:01 PM
Very fresh and pretty cards. It's nice to see how easy it is to create these with the large flowers from the new sets.

Super Stick Chick October 14, 2018 - 7:58 AM
Fabulous cards! Love the polka dot backgrounds and playful flowers.
Annalisa October 14, 2018 - 8:45 AM
I love how you coordinated your swiss dot backgrounds with your focal images. First, it gives a common thread to all the cards that would make a perfect card set to give someone. Also, it really just finishes cards in a way that I struggle to achieve, so I might need to try that. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards with us!
Kathy Ferguson October 14, 2018 - 9:47 AM
Beautiful cards. I love the swiss dot background you used. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us.
Mindy1414 October 14, 2018 - 11:35 AM
My favorite item from this release keeps changing with each blog in the hop lol. Right now my current "must have" is your Playful Blooms set, I love the way you stacked the blooms (swoon) on your card here, not to mention the gorgeous array of pink shades. As soon as I saw it my first thought was Mother's Day cards - oh and matching gift bags..... OK now I'm really excited, I have to get that set asap! Thanks for the inspiration :) (mardy14@bellsouth.net)
knurse22 October 14, 2018 - 9:57 PM
Love your cards---so simple and beautiful! I especially love the second card, where you left some of the flowers and leaves uncolored. Very striking look! I love every piece of this release, and have already ordered several sets. But the one I am most excited about is the Swiss dots stamp. Two versatile looks with a twist of the stamp to make wonderful backgrounds. I am also going to stamp different colors of the dots and then overstamp with flowers and leaves for a different look! Thanks for your inspiration.
Kim Faucher October 14, 2018 - 11:11 PM
I love all your cards using that dotted background!!!
BrendaLea Abbott October 14, 2018 - 11:25 PM
I love how your cards are similar, and could be given as a gift, boxed set of cards. I've always liked polka dots of any size, but can't always find paper for backgrounds in a polka dot. This stamp would be handy for me to have. Then I could have dots in any color when I want them.
Linnea Sundstrom October 15, 2018 - 2:34 AM
luv what you did with the flower die and just stamping the stem. it really does look like a fluffy white flower!!
Laura Jata October 15, 2018 - 2:39 AM
Great cards. Nice designs!
Lisa Byers October 15, 2018 - 3:10 AM
I love the Always There flowers. Your cards are really beautiful. Great designs and colors!!
Evelyn P. October 15, 2018 - 4:38 AM

Stacey Kowbel October 15, 2018 - 4:44 AM
Fabulous cards Zinia! I love your last card!
Sherry Butcher October 15, 2018 - 5:48 AM

RoZee October 15, 2018 - 6:06 AM
Can't wait to use the Baubles and Blooming Branches sets...I think they will make elegant cards.
Sabrina L October 15, 2018 - 8:27 AM
Pretty cards! I love the vibrant colors you used. I really love that polka dot background!
Cathryn Ledger October 15, 2018 - 9:04 AM

maria f. October 15, 2018 - 3:24 PM
Well you had me right at "tiny dots". What a great BG. But then I love your designs, keeping things nice and CAS with just a touch of color for that wow effect.
Mary Holshouser October 15, 2018 - 6:12 PM
the blooming branches is simple but very pretty. I would use it on my greeting cards - probably as a background for another stamp - though it is great on its own. thanks for sharing txmlhl(at)yahoo(dot)com
Jackie Price October 15, 2018 - 8:31 PM
Beautiful cards and the sets you designed are so pretty with endless possibilities. Your blooming branches set is so simple and yet so impressive! Now to pick a favourite? I really like the blessings sentiments stamp set and the layered floral elements dies and the brilliant baubles set and the fine frames cover die. So many fabulous products in itsit's hard to pick a favourite
Nandini Karmarkar October 15, 2018 - 9:11 PM
The new release is really awesome! And I absolutely love the inspiration! My favourite is the Peace Love Joy set. Planning to make some cute tags with it.
