Hey everyone! It’s time for the July 2021 Stamp Release, which means I’m so excited to join Altenew for the brand new Thanks and Blessings Stamp Collection (ALT) and Blog Hop! Thanks so much to the legendary Jennifer McGuire for relaying you over to my blog. If you want to relive the amazing project ideas from the team of designers for this release, head back over to the Altenew Card Blog or keep reading to find the complete blog list. Don’t miss the wonderful giveaway opportunities as well–more on that down below!
Thanks and Blessings Collection
I was having a color block and simple color palette moment with the Thanks and Blessings Stamp Release. I was thinking of very simple color schemes with colors that are not quite my favorite (orange and purple) #sorrynotsorry.
For my first card, I showcased the geometric pattern from Geo Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. I inked the debossed side of the embossing folder with Frayed Leaf Mixed Media Ink. I paired this very simple background with a sentiment from Bold Greetings Die Set.
Materials and Supplies
Geo Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder |
Mixed Media Inks |
Jewel Tone Cardstock Sampler |
Bold Greetings Die Set |
I made this very simple scene with Bird of the Woods Stamp and Die Set. I was thinking of a more graphic mood when layering this bird and branch portrait. I paired this cool color tone scheme with a wreath stencil to help frame the arrangement.
Materials and Supplies
Bird of the Woods Stamp & Die Bundle |
Wonderful Wreath Stencil |
Jewel Tone Cardstock Sampler |
Sugarplums Mini Ink Cube Set |
For my last card I went strictly monotone. I wanted to showcase the beautifully detailed outlines and images themselves. I framed this romantic scene with white splatters and a simple sentiment banner. I still struggle with purple, but I ended up loving the single tone use of this color.
Materials and Supplies
Rose Tea Stamp Die Bundle |
Jewel Tone Cardstock Sampler |
Metallic Thread Set |
Pure White Ink Spray |
