Happy Monday! It's also a happy Monday at Altenew as today marks the start of a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 15 new dies, 12 new ink colours, 36 re-inkers and two wonderful, sparkly glitter tapes! You should have arrived here from Svitlana Shayevich, if you haven't then be sure to start out at Altenew HQ!
For my projects to celebrate the new release, I couldn't resist getting busy with the new Bold Alphabet die set and the new Celebrations die-set to co-ordiante with the Celebrations stamp set. First up, here's my project featuring the Bold Alphabet die set:
The woodgrain pattern is stamped using the new Emerald ink. I think this might be my new favourite Altenew colour (just don't tell the others!)
For my final project, I kept things pretty simple. After stamping and colouring the presents from the Celebrations stamp set, I then used the co-ordinating die to cut it out and mounted it onto a woodgrain card front using 3D foam tape. Easy peasy!
I hope that you're enjoying the blog hop so far! Don't forget that it's worth commenting along the way as Altenew are giving away three $50 gift certificate to one lucky person commenting on the Altenew blog and I'm giving away a $30 gift certificate to a lucky peep who comments on this post! Please leave your comment here by Friday September 23rd 11.59pm EST to be in with a chance – I'll announce a winner on Saturday 24th September.
Right, it's time for you to keep on hopping! Next on the hop is Patricia Roebuck – happy hopping! :D
