This month Altenew is introducing Build-A-Flower: Magnolia. On the 15th of every month a new flower set is released and each set offers a 6×8 stamp set with a coordinating die so you can easily create your projects (it is only available as a set, not as individual products). Isn’t this Magnolia beautiful!
I decided to stamp out the word ‘you’ with the Calligraphy Alpha stamp set, one of the easiest alpha sets I’ve ever used (it’s so so easy to line up the letters, I love it)!
I can’t wait to play with the Magnolia Build-A-Flower set some more, I have heaps of ideas and know that you will also be inspired by the other designs, as well as the chance to WIN at the Altenew Blog!
Other Supplies: Prismacolor Pencils – Warm Grey 20,70% / French Grey 50,70% / Putty Beige / Chartreuse / Limepeel.
I’ve been asked to share some ideas on how to use the Altenew New Day Card Kit and in particular using the wood veneers included in the kit. So I decided to make two cards and I have a video showing you how!
Today I have an extra special collaboration video with Olga Direktorenko. She creates the most amazing papercraft projects with a focus on die cutting and her blog is called Building Your World (what a perfect name)!
The focus today was water lilies and the Lotus set from Altenew was an obvious choice for me.
I’ve been wanting to use this background technique again for a while now and decided that today was the day as I have a post up at Scrapbook Boutique Blog! I thought it would be fun to ‘Retro’ these fun owls from MFT and add a sweet combo of colours from Altenew.
I have a quick and easy card to share at the Altenew Blog today. I decided it would be fun to create my own sentiment background using almost a rainbow of colours, I thought this would make a fun kids or teen card.
I stamped out the Congrats sentiments with the Altenew Crisp Dye Inks and then coloured some of the air benders using the Altenew Artist Markers. I am loving the bright cheery feel!
I’ve linked the Altenew products below. Hope you are having a great week, Hugs,
Other Supplies: Altenew Artist Markers – G702 / B201. Copics -RV10.
In my usual style for a man’s card today, I kept it bright, clean and simple…
This fab cup and sentiment is from the Best Dad Stamp set and I thought that some of Altenew’s Birch Wood would look great with the Inline Alpha die cut words, and give it that masculine look!

I have a quick card to share today and I kept it clean & simple. Although I did consider some design paper for the background, but everything I tried just didn’t do it for me, so she is boldly sitting on her own direct on the card front, love her style!
Things really do get better with age and somehow I think this Penny Black girl really knows how to party, wouldn’t you agree!
