Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Poppy Release Blog Hop + Giveaway


Hey friends! Guess what? There is an awesome new subscription option available at Altenew...Paint-A-Flower! It includes a 4x6 stamp set and is only $12.99 when you subscribe. Awesome.

The first stamp set features a Poppy and it's really beautiful. It also includes lots of different sentiments that are perfect for a variety of cards.


I decided to do a bit of no-line coloring for the card that I made. Honestly, I'm not super thrilled with my results - I'm still learning! Even so, it was super fun and I know that the next one will just get better.


I used the Altenew 36 Pan Watercolor Set to paint my flower an orange-y color on some watercolor cardstock. 


After I painted the flower, I decided to do a bit of ink blending at the top of the card. I used the Linear Stencil for a bit of interest and to "fill in" the empty space.


I finished with a sentiment, some twine, and some splatters. Can't wait to use this set again with a completely different style!

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 1/28/2020 for a chance to win.
We’ll also draw a winner to receive a $15 gift certificate from the comments left on each designer’s blog on the blog hop list below. All winners will be announced on the Altenew Card Blog on 1/30/2020.

Altenew Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hey friends! There's another exciting release from Altenew and I am so excited to share it with you!


These metallic watercolors are beautiful and vibrant and I had so much fun creating a card with them.


I used the Color Wheel Die on some watercolor paper, saved all of the inside pieces, painted them in a rainbow of metallic colors and then inlaid them. I love that look!


I used the flower garden stamp set for a floral and a couple leaves, leaving it black and white so the focus would remain on the shimmery background. I heat embossed a simple sentiment on vellum to finish the card.

Ready for a giveaway and some awesome inspiration?

Altenew | Refresh Your Watercolor Brush Markers Blog Hop + Giveaway


Hey friends! Welcome to another Altenew Blog Hop! If you love the watercolor brush markers as much as I do, you'll be excited about this one - there are now refills for them!



The awesome thing about the refills is that you can use them for so much more than just refilling your markers. In today's card example, I used simply as liquid watercolors. I poured a drop of each color from the Spring Garden set onto a palette and used them to watercolor a floral image from the Just Because Stamp Set.


A little goes a long way, so I was also able to create several backgrounds (I used watercolor paper) that I can use on future cards as well.


I chose some green stripes for the base of this card and heat embossed my sentiment in white. I also punched some little pink hearts from another background for embellishment.


I had so much fun playing with these refills! You can check it all out in the video below:
