Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway

Hi,
I feel very privileged to be able to do some projects for the fabulous Altenew.
They celebrate 4 years this month, and WOW! Embossing Powders have been with them along the way. And now you can join in the fun and WIN prizes !!!!
We love how our products work so well with theirs… So let me show you what I've created….
We all love a bit of Sparkle, right !!

Let's start off with a video tutorial using the Altenew Blooming Bouquet Stamps and Dies with the Crafty Friends Stamps teamed up with WOW! Sparkles and Clear Gloss.

Hugs & Kisses

With this one I used the Altenew Halftone Hearts Stamp Set with matching word dies.

• I stamped on a panel slightly smaller than my card base and embossed with WOW! Pink Robin, Goose and Bird of Paradise. 
• I then die cut two hearts 'layered' in the panel, stuck the middle back in and raised the outer to create an eclipse card. 
• I stamped the 'hugs & kisses' on a piece of card stock and did the Sparkle technique (instructions in the above video) 
• I then die cut it and adhered it across the heart.

Hello

This is like a two for one….

The larger card was made and whilst stencilling I used the remaining ink from the stencil to create the second card. I used Altenew Splatter Stencil, Blooming Bouquet Dies, Halftone Heart Stamps, Ink Sprays in Ocean Wave and Set glass and WOW! Clear Gloss Embossing Powder. 

• On a panel slightly smaller than the card base I spritzed through the stencil
• Die cut 3 'hello's' 
• Using the sprays on a piece of Cut n Dry foam I coloured the top half of the words graduating down so there was no colour on the bottom.
• I inked these up and embossed them in WOW! Clear Gloss Embossing Powder
• I adhered these to the card front leaving a small gap to add my sentiment from the Half Tone Hearts Stamps.

On the smaller card I used Altenew Splatter Stencil (reversed), Ink Spray Sea Glass, Blooming Bouquet Dies, Halftone Hearts Stamps, WOW! Twinklebelle and A Girls Best Friend Sparkles

• Lay card front directly on sprayed stencil to 'collect' the remaining ink
• Apply double sided adhesive to some card stock and die cut the 'hello' Peel off the front and sprinkle WOW! Twinklebelle Sparkles to the top side and repeat on the bottom with WOW! A Girls Best Friend Sparkles.
• Die cut 'hello' from black card stock, adhere behind the sparkled one, slightly off setting. Adhere to card front.
• Using a sentiment from the Half Tone Hearts, stamp on a scrap of card stock and adhere below the 'hello'.

Blooming Bouquet

Who can't resist white embossing on Kraft card stock, I know I can't !!
Here, I've used WOW! Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder, Altenew Blooming Bouquet Stamp and Die

• Ink up the large flower from the stamp set and stamp on to kraft card front so that it stamps off the edge. Emboss with WOW! Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder.
• Stamp the word 'hello' on a piece of vellum in the Opaque Bright White
• Die cut the word 'hello' in black and adhere behind the word on the vellum, slightly off setting it.
• Adhere to the card front, hiding the glue behind the word. adhere a few sequins, again you can hide the glue behind these as well.

And that finishes my little contribution to Altenew's fabulous Blog Hop.

Happy Aanniversary Altenew… may you continue to have MANY more and keep bringing us fabulous products.
