Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s May 2018 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing all of the new Stamps and Dies. If you arrived here from the talented Laurie Willison blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Card Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!
Take a look at my 8 x 8 scrapbook chipboard layout:
I love Altenew new Main Squeeze stamp set. It is perfect for my recent mishap at work. My coworker dropped a table. She asked another coworker and myself to help her pick it. It’s a heavy steel table. While we were picking it up, the other coworker didn’t have a grip on it and let it go on my foot. Such luck, right?! The top of my left foot is fractured.
This stamp set reminds me to really look at the good in this painful situation. I get to stay home and craft more, LOL!!!
Here’s how I created this chipboard layout:
Pick a patterned paper from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection Kit and adhere it to the 8 x 8 piece of We R Memory Keepers Cinch Chipboard using Altenew Glue Tape.
Stamp the medium lemon randomly on the patterned paper using Altenew Embossing Ink.
Stamp the one of the sentiments on the picture using Stazon Ink.
Sprinkle Altenew Translucent Pearl Embossing Powder over the stamped image, then heat set it.
Die cut Altenew Fine Alphabet Die Set out of black cardstock for the layout title.
Using a ruler, adhere the title to the layout using Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.
Since the die set doesn’t come with punctuation marks, use the question mark from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection Puffy Stickers.
Randomly place thread on the layout and adhere the photo on top.
Add a couple of enamel dots for additional texture.
Use We R Memory Keepers Typecast to add journaling to the layout.
Adhere the journaling block to the layout and done!
Let’s take another look:

Brilliant! Hope you recover soon.
Ouch!! Sorry about your booboo but at least you have some free time to stamp an scrap. Clever how you used lemons for the background. Love it.
How cute – I love your lemon Aide!

Really sweet layout! Sorry about your foot – wishing you a speedy recovery!
Well the circumstances are less than ideal, but you definitely made lemonade out of this particular mishap! I really like the subtle lemon background you made to go with the sentiment. And you definitely have the right attitude: a) being willing to help the coworker in the first place and b) more crafting time for you! I hope you feel better soon, and thanks for sharing with us!
How smart to incorporate real life into your May card! It worked out very well, I really like your card.
That boot brought back memories. I have one of my own from a couple of years ago. Not exactly a fashion statement, but it certainly makes a clever page!
