Video : Altenew January 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop & Giveaway!

I am so excited about the new Altenew release that I just couldn’t stop making cards lol.  If you are hopping along to celebrate then you should have arrived here from KATHLEEN’s wonderful Blog.

I have a total of 5 cards and 1 video to share today. Starting with some starry fun with the new Virgo Constellation Die Set, and some Watercolor Nebula Washi Tape.

In the background I spattered some Jet Black Cardstock with the Pure White Ink Spray and added some gems and an embossed sentiment from the Halftone Stars Stamp Set.

Next it’s time for one of the florals and this release is packed full of them, both stamps and the 3D dies!

 

I made a couple of the Hibiscus 3D Die flowers in some bright colours which makes my heart happy.

I added a simple Rouge sentiment from the Stained Glass Window Stamp Set and yes, another washi background, this time it’s the Peach Gold Washi Tape.

Next it’s time to get radical…..  with the new Radical Hearts Cover Die and this one is a little bright so you had better pop your sunglasses on now….

and, no stamping or sentiment, that is totally radical right!

Now to get subtle and I used the Gift From Heaven Stamp Set to create a very easy ‘New Baby’ card.

    T x

  54. All of your cards are gorgeous Therese, no wonder you made so many. This is such a great release and definitely ‘something for everyone’ included. Me???? I want it all, of course! (IF ONLY!)

  55. All your cards are wonderful, Therese, as usual. I’m so glad you showed how to use the masks. What a terrific idea to create those. I hope they come back and do some of the older sets.

  56. Altenew products are some of my very favs! This card is stunning and the new stencil masks are going on my wish list for my next big Altenew purchase. TFS

  57. I am not going to lie, that hibiscus is my favorite of the January release! Also loving your Virgo card!

  58. I appreciate you taking the time to make the video of the masking stencils. I wasn’t sure of what they were going to do. They would definitely be a time saver instead of stamping and then cutting your own masks. The 3D hibiscus is my fav so far.

  59. I am so glad that companies are starting to release masks! So much easier, plus the bonus of having the positive and the negative pieces. Brilliant! Makes my heart happy 😀 As usual, another beautiful release from Altenew!

  60. Thank you for the masking stencil ideas and techniques! I plan to work on some of these and will use your great ideas for learning!

  62. Gorgeous cards! Love the radical die heart frames and the contrast Colors you used! Hibiscus card is so eye-catching! Love all of them! Thank you for the inspirations!

  63. Seems to be a common affliction… can’t stop making. No wonder with such gorgeous products. I just love how you interpreted the baby’s nursery stamp, Therese. Beautiful.

  64. WOW great cards. Love the subtle baby card. I’m betting you die cut every coloured heart and repositioned for the bright no stamps card! Far more patience than me but worth the effort.

    1. You are absolutely correct lol. and then I added a layer of black die cut cardstock on top to make it more dimensional. Thanks so much for your lovely visit, Happy Australia Day!

  65. What an amazing release this time around. Love the 3D layering dies. Your cards are absolutely gorgeous. The new stencils are such a time saver. I really never layer stamps because I hate fussy cutting masks. Now Altenew has done it for me. Just genius

  66. Hi Therese – your 5 cards are stunning – the baby card is so understated and sweet – LOVE the Hibiscus 3D die set – thanks for doing the masking and stencilling demo – you always do such a great job and are so helpful.

I was so impressed that I shared them with a friend on FB. So you can feel good that your post has spread the word about Altenew’s products!

  74. What a fabulous variety…from that sweet baby card to the stunning constellation card. Thank you for sharing and giving us the opportunity win.

  75. Wow!!! You had me at the constellation card with the bling and impression!! But the new masking stencils is brilliant by Altenew!!! They are the best!! Love all of your fabulous inspiration!

  76. Super cards. Those masks look like a real timesaver. Great Altenew release (as usual). Thanks for the inspiration and video.

  77. Awesome line up of cards Therese. The Watercolor Nebula Washi tape background for the Constellation Die Set is way cool! My favorite from this release is the Hibiscus Garden 3D Die Set and I love the colors you used, I’m most definitely swooning over the Peach Gold Washi Tape background with it. I have the washi tape now I just need to get the new Hibiscus set ASAP lol. Thank you for sharing all of your cards and for the amazing inspiration! (mardy14@bellsouth.net)

  78. Your cards are fabulous Therese. And your video is so beautifully produced. The 3D Hibiscus is incredible.

  85. All I can say is WOW! Your cards are wonderful. Loving the stencil masks… well I love all of their new release! Wish I could afford one of each! Thanks!

  86. Hi Therese, wow these are all so beautiful! Loved your ombre technique with the background stamp.

  87. Love your cards for this release. I especially like the zodiac card and the hibiscus cards. I think the zodiac card would be a good investment for someone who had family members who share the same sign.

  88. What a marvellous showcase of these new products. I love your use of the radical hearts and the new baby card is so precious.

  89. All of your cards are beautiful, but I gotta tell you, my heart swells over your Gift From Heaven card!!! A close second is your Constellation card. Very creative–both of them, and I do so love the galaxy washi tape on your Constellation card. Thanks so much for sharing.

  96. Love all these cards! Can’t even pick a favorite. 🙂 Great the way you used washi tape for some of the backgrounds and I like the color choices for the heart cover plate. Shows a great way to make the cover plate work for teen and masculine valentine cards. Really helpful video. Love that Altenew is creating masks for us to use. I have vision issues that make fussy cutting really difficult. The new masks are a perfect solution for me. Thanks for all the great inspiration!

  97. Beautiful cards with so much variety! The one that stands out for me is the baby card. The simplicity of it just encapsulates the wonder of a new baby. Thanks for sharing!

  98. Amazing cards! The Angelique Motifs Stamp Set is my favorite of this release and I love how you used it to make the last gorgeous card. Thanks for the inspiration.
