Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway (over $2,000 in Total Prizes)

04/06/2022

Hello everyone!

I’m so excited to be sharing in Altenew’s 8th Anniversary celebration and to be part of this amazing blog hop!

This is Day 3 of a 4-day hop packed with some amazingly talented designers and loaded with some awesome prizes!! If you’re following along on the hop, you should be arriving from Ishani’s blog but if not, you can start at the beginning of the hop at the Altenew Blog.

I was introduced to Altenew shortly after they started 8 years ago! Like many others, I fell in love with their gorgeous floral designs, and I’ve been hooked ever since! Over the course of the past 8 years, I’ve continued to be in awe of the wonderful designs Altenew continues to release (and not just the florals)!

To celebrate Altenew’s 8th anniversary, I made my card today using the Altenew Garden Delights stamp and die set, the Fancy Yay die, and the new Hawaiian Shores Brush Markers. These are some of my (current) favorite products and I think they perfectly exemplify Altenew!

To make this card, I heat embossed the flowers and sentiment strip in gold embossing powder on watercolor cardstock. I then used the Hawaiian Shores Brush Markers and a bit of water to paint the flowers before die cutting them.

I splattered some gold watercolor paint on a card front, die cut the Fancy Yay die from Gold Foil Card Stock, and then arranged my flowers. To complete the card, I popped up the Fancy Yay die and the sentiment strip using foam tape and added a few antique gold sequins.

I hope you found some inspiration in this project and that you’ll follow along on the hop to see what other designers have made! Your next stop on the hop is Joy Baldwin’s blog, but before you head there, make sure to leave a comment on my blog and the others as you hop along because you’ll have a chance to win more than $2,000 in total prizes! To make the hop more exciting, start your comment with “Hi from (city or country where you’re from)!” There will be 50 winners chosen at random from the comments left on any of the blogs listed below and will be announced on the Altenew Card Blog on 4/21/2022.

Giveaway Prizes

Over $2,000 in total prizes! Altenew is giving away a $80 Gift Certificate to 5 lucky winners and one Altenew Academy Online Class($8.95 value) to 15 lucky winners.

There are also 26 awesome companies/crafty friends who are celebrating with us, and they are offering the following prizes:

  61. roxanne tellini

    Hello there from South Florida. I love the look of watercolor but I am not very practiced at it yet. Would you recommend traditional watercolors, watercolor pencils or brush pens for a beginner?

    • Jean

      Hi! I started by using inks as my watercolors and using embossed images. By embossing the image, it helps to hold the watercolor in place and gives you a little bit of freedom to not worry about going out of the lines or overworking it. This was an easy way to learn how the color moves and works with the water. If you don’t want to use inks, get the traditional watercolors for this. The brush pens are super easy, but it does take a bit of finesse to learn and blend. I do find that the Altenew brush pens blend easier than the others I’ve tried, so if you want to try some, I definitely recommend those.

  62. Vicki Kroll

  82. Dawn Collins

    Hi, I’m Dawn Collins from Cortes Island, BC, Canada. Happy Anniversary Altenew! How ever do you manage to get the splatters so even and small. I always end up with a bigger splat and they don’t spread our evenly. Your card is beautiful. Thank you for all your hard work and inspiration.

    • Jean

      Hi Dawn! Thank you! For this card, I splattered using a flat square paint brush off the edge of a stamping block. I did have to move it around to get it to cover the card front. I am still not great with the splattering but this technique seems to work pretty well for me! Hope it works for you too!

designer & content creator

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
