Altenew November 2019 Gradient Cardstock Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Good morning friends!  Today I am hopping along with some amazing designers, showcasing the latest release from Altenew. 

 Altenew's gradient cardstock shades have been hand-selected to coordinate with our inks, making them the perfect choice for layered die cutting, 3D dies, and more! The color families include Cherry Blossom, Green Meadows, Red Cosmos, Sea Shore, Shades of Purple, and Summer Afternoon, and each sheet has been sized to fit on our Mini Blossom Die Cutting Plates. You're sure to find one (or more!) to add to your collection!

I have to put in a quick plug for the Mini Blossom Die Cut Machine.  Its 20% until tomorrow!  This very handy little machine fits perfectly in my work space and along with these new paper packs, makes die cut a breeze!

Today I am working with Fantasy Floral 3D Die along with the Red Cosmos and Green Meadows Gradient Paper Packs.....

To create this card,  I first grabbed the Sunburst Stencil and embossed a piece of the red cardstock.  I layered it with fun foam and a second mat of the same color and added white paint splatter to the embossed piece.

Next, I added the card panel to the card base.  Using the Mini Blossom and more colors of the Red Cosmos pack, I die cut the pieces for the Floral Fantasy 3D Dies.  I love how easy they are to line up and create a dimensional bloom.  After cutting out the leaves with Green Meadows cardstock, I added in some detail using alcohol markers.  Last, I stamped the sentiment in Obsidian Black ink along the bottom of the card.

Whatever Stamp Camp  Hosts

Nichol Spohr

Hi stampers! I'm Nichol Spohr and I've been paper crafting for about 19 years and have been involved in the paper crafting industry in some fashion since 2002. I started out as a scrapbooker who dabbled with stamping and over the years have evolved into a card maker who uses stamps on just about every single thing I create! I'm passionate about stamping and die cutting and getting the most out of my supplies. I enjoy sharing, inspiring, and teaching and regularly share video tutorials on my YouTube channel. You can always see what I’m up to by visiting my blog: http://nicholspohr.com/

Lori Craig

Hi! I’m Lori! I’ve began papercrafting in 1998 by dabbling in scrapbooking because I enjoyed cropping with friends, but quickly transitioned to stamping & card-making. I call it “crafty therapy”, and my family calls it “necessary for household harmony”.

I have worked full-time in papercrafting since 2007 as the advertising manager for Splitcoaststampers.com, designer, blogger, in business development, and as a Copic Marker instructor in the US and Canada. 

As much as I love paper and ink, the many fabulous friends I’ve met on this incredible journey are (by far!!) my favorite thing about crafting, and I can’t wait to share this weekend with you in my native Kansas!

Laurie Willison

My name is Laurie Willison. You can usually find me crafting away in my craft room while the kids are in school!  I am also an RN and Travel Planner part time. I live in Kansas with my husband and our 2 kiddos.

I have been stamping since 2007, when a sweet friend of mine introduced me to the world of ink, stamps and paper and have been blogging and crafting ever since. I have had the pleasure and honor of working on several amazing design teams over the years and have had so much fun in the process.  My favorite part of this hobby has to be the people. I have made lots of amazing friends, lots of whom I have had the chance to meet in person! We are excited to have you join us for this crafty weekend!

Here is today's card using the November Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month....

To create this card I used the Pretty Plaid Embossing folder for the front gray card panel.  I cut that down and added the panel to a gray card base.  I just love that plaid texture.  

Next, I used the November foil kit to create the sentiment.  I used the die included I the kit to cut out that little banner.  I love the that you can hot foil the sentiment and then cut it out for the perfectly lined up sentiment every time.  Next, I die cut the Poinsettia Dies and layered them up for the gorgeous pop of color.  I did add some Copic coloring to the leaving for some added dimension.  Last, I used the Gold Fashion pearls to give the flower a little bling.

Altenew November 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Good morning!  Welcome to the November 2019 Altenew Blog Hop!  The new products that are available today are amazing!!  I have 2 projects to share today so keep scrolling to see them.  You can also check out the Giveaways....don't forget tot leave a comment for your chance to win!  There is also a full blog hop list at the end of this post.  

My first project uses the new set Plentiful Pines....

To create this post, I grabbed a navy blue card base and added some white paint splatter for a fun snowy look.  I cut a white card front down with a way snow drift look and then stamped the sentiment along the bottom.  I also used some of Altenew's Gold Washi to create the line along the bottom.  

I popped the snow drift up on the card base and then stamped and die cut the trees.  They are SO easy to line up and they are just so pretty. What you can't see is how sparkly they are.  They shimmer in this little scene and it creates the perfect winter card. 

I kept this last card super clean and simple....

I scored a few lines along the bottom of the card and popped up the Handwritten Hello.  I die cut one of the Mix and Match Mariposa dies and added that to the card front along with a few pearls.  Super quick and easy!
