Altenew July 2018 Release Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAY!)

19 Jul

Good morning!  I’m thrilled to be joining the amazing Altenew design team to celebrate their fabulous July 2018 release!  They have a GORGEOUS selection of stamps and dies in this month’s release!  I went a little overboard with rainbow florals! 😉

July 2018 Release for Altenew by Jessica Frost-Ballas

I fell head over heels for the Life is Awesome florals and used my MISTI to crank out a ton of layered flowers using the beautiful shades of Altenew inks!

Then it was just a matter of creating some beautiful floral arrangements!

Thank You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Altenew

For the first card I choose a center spot slightly above and to the left of the actual center of my card base and started adhering flowers in a circle.  I added more layers and let my arrangement get bigger and bigger until it basically filled the card panel.

Thank You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Altenew

Then I die-cut the Simply Said Thank You die three times with black cardstock, adhered them together and adhered them over the florals.  I finished the card with a few amethyst jewels.

Hello by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Altenew

For my second card I die-cut the Watercolor Stripes die from white cardstock and adhered it to a white card base.  Then I added florals across the bottom of the panel to create a loose, organic arrangement.

Next I die-cut the Simply Said Hello die with black cardstock three times, adhered them together and adhered it over the florals. I finished this card with a few purple pansy jewels!

I love all these bright and cheerful flowers with the bold sentiments and I hope you do, too! 😉

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to SIX lucky winners!  Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or the Altenew Scrapbook Blog by Thursday, July 26th for a chance to win. Six winners will be announced on the Altenew blogs on 7/29/2018.
