Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Dynamic Blossoms Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Thanks for joining me via Nenette S. Medero and your next stop is Preeti Chandran, you may want to start at the beginning and can do so at the Altenew Card Blog.

You've seen some amazing projects using the newest Craft Your Life Project Kit-Dynamic Blossoms and I'm thrilled to share some with you as well.

There are some really unique elements in this kit and I built a background with the some of the die cuts, just arranging the pieces on a white card front.

The image is stamped with Altenew clear embossing ink and then heat embossed with Rose Gold Crisp Embossing Powder and die cut with coordinating die.

While the vellum looks like it's been colored I have not added any color to it at all.

I used the same dies for the following cards as the one above, inlaying the centre elements, red within gold and gold within red.

I inked blue card stock from my stash with Tanzanite Crisp Dye Ink and then used the large die to cut a focal element in the center.

I edged the die cut opening with Antique Gold Pigment ink and backed the opening with card stock from the Gilded Glitter card stock pack.

A white card front is inked via the 3D embossing folder-inking the folder and then running the card stock through a die cut machine. I then applied gold pigment ink through the kit stencil and then heat set with Crystal Clear embossing powder.

It was fun to document my experience teaching at the first Craft Your Life Retreat with a craft your life kit!

I used both the layered stamps and stencils to add colour to the blooms and leaves.

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Sunburst Azalea Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($200 in total prizes)

If you've arrived from the blog of Nenette S Madero you are in the right place and if you need to start back at the beginning of the blog hop you can head back to the Altenew Card Blog.

There are so many color possibilities with the Craft-A-Flower dies, I decided to ink watercolor paper with Sunkissed, Rouge, Cotton Candy, Purple Wine, Crimson, Paper Bag and Just Green Watercolor Brush Markers and then die cut with the CAF: Azalea dies.

I've layered the "petals" over the base with Instant Dimension Foam Tape. The background is an A2 watercolor panel I picked up the leftover color from a previous project with and after watching this YouTube video decided to try and add gold foiling with the Dotted Swirls Debossing Cover Die. Now for a disclaimer, the hot foil machine I have is old-it's a Go Press and Foil I bought off Amazon a while ago and finally dusted off to give this a try so I have no experience with the current hot foil systems on the market.

The photo does not do justice to the beautiful gold shimmer on the card front.

Sentiment is die cut from Gold Foil card stock with the Essential Sentiments die set.

This time I inked white card stock with the following Crisp Dye inks:

-Base Layer-Sunkissed

-Second Layer-Sunkissed, Rouge and a little Dark Chocolate on the smaller bloom

-Stamen-Dark Chocolate, Rouge and Orange Crush

I covered a slightly smaller than 4" x 5 1/4" white card stock panel with Peach Gold Wide Washi tape then matted that on black card stock.

A hexagon is die cut from Gold Mirror card stock with the hexagon from the Geo Frame die set, then cut in half and layered underneath the CAF blooms.

Prior to adding the Rose Gold Crisp heat embossed sentiment, I splattered Jet Black Watercolor with the watercolor brush marker all over the panel.

Guarantee yourself the monthly Craft-A-Flower release with a subscription!

Prizes

$200 in total prizes!

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $20 gift certificate to 5 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 03/13/2022 for a chance to win.
