It’s time for another fabulous release from Altenew and we are hopping along to celebrate, so you should have arrived here from MAY’S fantabulous blog!
I made a total of three cards today, so scroll down to see them and the video that I have made showcasing the fab new Striped Leaf Cover Die as well as to find out how you can WIN!
To begin I want to share a masculine design, I created my very own patterned background using the Building Blocks Stamp.
I added some fun images from the Space Travel Stamp Set and the sentiment came from the new Speech Bubbles Stamp Set (I love me a speech bubble sentiment and was so excited to see this in the new release)!
I used a total of (count them) 5 stamp sets in the next card… I think I was having so much fun combining everything I probably forgot to focus lol. I Zig coloured the flower from the Charmed Stamp Set and I added a partial stamped background with Simple Shapes XL.
I added a simple frame from the Framed Stamp Set and the sentiment is from the Thick and Thin Alpha Set as well as the Sweet Friend Stamp Set.
My final card was made using the Striped Leaf Cover Die, and I have a video showing you the process of how it came together.
The flower You Make Me Happy is coloured with Altenew’s Artist Markers and the sentiment is from the new set More Than Words, seriously a gorgeous combination of fonts here!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

After yet another wonderful release from Altenew.

Love your stencil card. Thanks for sharing your tips.
Great masculine card!
It’s nice to know the rules, but it’s also nice to know that it’s your card and you can switch it up if you want to. And the products are amazing. And…what you did with them is beautiful. Thank you.
Such beautiful cards. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hello Theresa, so glad I came by, if it wasn’t for this blog hop I wouldn’t have made it here, I’m getting to know so many amazing talented women and I’ve learned so much with all the videos I’ve been watching. Thanks so much for sharing your video with us. I loved the technique you used and the colors on the foliage are so shabby, my style totally! I’m enjoying all the new releases from AlteNew, watching all these videos help us to have a better appreciation for some of the products I thought I’d never give a chance, like the simple shapes stamp set for instance. I wouldn’t know what to do with it until all the great videos I’ve been watching. Thank you! 🙂
Your cards are all gorgeous. Thanks for the video. Loved watching it.
Your cards are amazing! Love your designs…they’re always so inspiring! Thanks for sharing! :*
I always love your work and these are amazing!
Great cards and lovely colors!
Beautiful card and helpful video. Your color choices go so well together.
Great cards! I really like the striped leaves!
Your video was so much fun today, and informative, too, as usual. The background dies and die sets in this release are so wonderful. I love seeing different ways to use them throughout the blog hop. It demonstrates their versatility and value. Of course, the creativity shared by everyone is priceless. Thanks so much.
Great cards! Loving the geometric sets!
Beautiful! Really love the background you made with the simple shape stamps
I’ve been away for so long, but I wanted to stop by your blog and see what you’ve been creating! The astronaut card is a perfect masculine card! What a fun idea! And I know a few ‘space cadets’ that would love seeing this, too. Your second card is stunning. Maybe it’s the yellows that have made me fall in love with this. Maybe it’s the flowers. Maybe it’s the triangle background. Or the frame…. No matter the reason, I adore this card. Pretty sure I could stare at it all day long!! And thanks for the video for your last card. Those leaves are wonderful!! That coverplate might have to go into my shopping basket, lol!! Have a great weekend! : )
Great variety of card ideas! My fav is your framed yellow flower! What a wonderful Altenew release and blog hop!
Love your card design.
Simple but elegant.
Jenny from the Netherlands

I really enjoy your videos, and that card turned out amazing. I love the idea of making the die into a stencil. Great job.
Awesome new release!! Thanks for the great video!!
Wonderful cards, Therese! Thank you for sharing how you made the leaf one and for introducing me to sticky-backed stencils and ways to make your own.
All three of your cards are so fun! I love the background you created on your first card. The second and third cards are both so sweet! I especially love the new frame stamp on the second card!
The building blocks stamps look like a ton of fun to play with. Thank you for sharing these great cards.
I already had the Striped Leaf Cover die on my wish list, and after seeing your ideas, I’m adding the Simple Shapes stamp set. Pay day can’t get here soon enough! Thanks for the inspiration!
Loved the card with the yellow flowers, from the charmed set ? So vibrant and happy ðŸ˜

Wow! These are all fabulous! My favorite is the one you said you used 5 stamp sets on, I can see why it would have been so fun and why you made it that way LOVE IT!!! Was it one used in their preview pictures? I fell in love with that charmed flower that instant…..then the frame and background you made are stunning!!! Thank You!!
If I were only to pick one of the new products, I think the building blocks one would be it because of how it makes me nostalgic for tetris!
I’m loving your backgrounds!
