Altenew November 2021 Sparkle and Shine Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Hello Friends! The November Altenew release is here and there's a little bit of everything to get excited about ... backgrounds, florals, sentiments, die cut sentiments, stencils, it's all stocked and ready to go!

You may have come here from the blog of Jenny Colacicco, but if not feel free to start at the beginning with the Altenew Card Blog.

 

NEW Sparkle and Shine Collection!

I find it's always helpful to see a new release at a glance, in case you need to make tough decisions ; )

Let's start with the Note For You Stamps ...

There are ten different primary sentiments, eight secondary sentiments, and six different patterns for you to craft the perfect sentiment.

And that's pretty much what I did here ... used as many sentiments as I could to make one heck of a custom sentiment. The little pattern stamps that are included are great if you end up with spaces that need to be filled, like right below the "awesome".

Did you notice that beautiful background?! It's from the Illusion Diamonds background set which is a wonderfully solid yet interesting geometric pattern. The colors (Lemon Whip and Pistachio) are also from one of the new lines of ink, the Frozen Delights Mini Ink Set.

The Note For You Stamps has a coordinating die that can be used for making your own coordinating envelope, as well as a few of the sentiments like the "hello" I added to the envelope.

In addition to the word dies, there are a few trim dies for adding details, like the lacy die under "hello" and the scallop die I used on the edge of the flap.

This is a good chance to use any double sided patterned papers you have. After you make the envelope, cut a square from the same paper and you're automatically coordinated.

Here's another card that uses a primary sentiment from Note For You Stamps, and then I layered a secondary sentiment embossed in white on top. I inked up the bottom word "heart" in a complementary color to tie in with the centers of the flowers.

The florals are from In the Woodland Stamp. The nice thing about this set is you get two different large floral cluster images. So it's like a 2-for-1!

There is a coordinating layering stencil set available, which is how I got the alternating petal effect. I like this look as a change from having a layer of shadows. The beautiful colors are all from the new Frozen Delights Mini Ink Set.

My final card features the Tree Mix Dies. There are 12 different trees to pick from, so definitely something for everyone. I like being able to layer the trees on top of each other, which makes the possibilities even more limitless!

The word die sentiment is one of the six new words in the All About Wishes Dies. Love that all the words come with outline dies so you can outline them. That really helps out on a busy card like this where you need to be able to see the word a little clearer.

 

I do like the pinks and whites for a glam holiday card,with a splash of gold glitter.
