Hello Friends! Oh boy what a fun July Release this is from Altenew, with a little bit of everything - stamps, stencils, press plates, embossing folders, and even a new set of inks! I really took to this release and have A TON to show you, so let's get to it!!You may have come from the sweetest ever Hannelie, but if not feel free to start the hop at the Altenew Blog!
As soon as I saw this Stencil Art: White Cap Peonies stencil I KNEW it was going to be FAB-U-LOUS!! And the first time I inked it up it did NOT disappoint!
The giant size and the multiple colors just demand attention! It's made with 6 different stencils so there's a lot of variation you can add. And not even a stamp in sight.

The Flutter and Bloom Set is an absolutely massive 8x11" set that also has tons of possibilities. The flowers stamped on the card base are sweet, but hello those butterflies are super elegant and delightful!
After coloring them with the stencils (love all the different color options on these!) I bent the wings up from the bodies for some cheap and easy dimension for the card.
This set is the Tangerine Grove Set and I like that in addition to the tangerines it features blooms, many different leaves (with varied colors) and the branches. It's all those details I think that make it lush.
There are a lot of different sentiments to pick from, including this gold one. The black raised sentiment is from an awesome embossing folder that's coming up : )
Here are two different looks for the same Inked Poppies press plate - one high on contrast and drama for a modern feel, the other a bit more weathered for a vintage feel.

What grabs me with this set is all the detailed lines making beautiful impressions when they are pressed in the paper - you just want to run your fingers over it all.
There's another floral press plate in this release that I think deserves some attention - the Blossoming Bouquet Set. This one has a coordinating stencil to aid in coloring it. I felt like mixing it up a bit and stamped it in the new Coral Bliss from the Tea Party Cube Set.
The HELLO sentiment, which also comes with this set, and the new raised embossed sentiment, which is still coming up, are bordered by an older Deco Cover Die set that I honestly get so much use out of.
This card was so fun, as it's a giant mash-up of sets from this release! We've got the previous Blossoming Bouquet Set in the background (stamped in green this time, instead of coral),
more of those raised sentiment strips, all cut from a massive Raised Sentiments Embossing Folder which produces sentiments for days (check out the piles of sentiments I've got waiting in Theo wings on the left edge of this next photo!!)
And finally, the star of this show, the best value Mini Delight
Live in the Moment Set! How adorable is that tiny clock with the silver bells?! and the subtly-stamped rose on the face of the clock (which actually comes with this set as well, for even more value)! And the adhesive gem detail for the middle of the hands!!
You can also see a bit better in this photo how the sentiment is raised from the embossing folder. I ran the sentiment strip across a white ink pad, and then ended up using a white gel pen to make the white show up a bit more.
Finally, let’s see two of the new sets of ink colors - a
Warm Gray Mini Cube Set that makes the leaves fad into the background in the best possible way, and one of my favorite color hues of all time, a handful of blushes from the
Tea Party Cube Set.
I could just swim in those melon beauties!!
Whew! Hope you liked going through the new July Release with me, and maybe got a few ideas for yourself!

ReplyDeleteHi Kelly. Wow you have been busy making such fabulous cards. I love how colorful your Flutter and Bloom butterfly card is.

ReplyDeleteI want to share my testimony with you all here on how to get finance from Mr Pedro who offers loans to individual and corporate at the rate of 2% in return. I stumbled upon his contact details online then I decided to give it a try. Then all my effort was not in vain because Mr Pedro granted me a loan of 820,000.00 USD to expand my business in which many banks have declined my request, but Mr Pedro approved my loans. I'm so grateful for what he and his loan company did for me and hopefully I will be paying yearly payment which is really good for me as a startup business owner. I will recommend his contact details Email address and WhatsApp number via (pedroloanss@gmail.com +393510140339)
