Altenew 5th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway

 

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew 5th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1!! Today we are celebrating Altenew turning 5 years old!!  If you’ve arrived here from Chameleon Art Products 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 Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!

Let’s take a look:

Live Your Dream Die Cut Embellishments

I created this cute photo card. Such a great why to showoff your latest adventure. I saw this idea a couple a month ago on YouTube and knew that I wanted to give it a try.

Let’s take a closer look:

To create the card with the closure, I used We R Memory Keepers Tab Punch Board.

Live Your Dream Die Cut Embellishments

To keep the card closed I used a retired Tombow Hook & Loop Tab. It’s a piece of Velcro, that does not tear the paper.

Live Your Dream Die Cut Embellishments

I used the Live Your Dream Puffy Alphabet Stickers to decorate the die cut embellishment.

For the photo, I created a tag using We R Memory Keepers Tag Punch Board. I used Altenew Gold Washi Tape from the New Day Card Kit to decorate it.

Then I adhered the photo on top and done.

Super quick and easy.

Let’s take another look:

I love how this photo card turned out. Big enough to display a photo and small enough to fit in you pocketbook.

New Beginnings!

Today marks a first for me. I’ve always wanted to start a blog but wasn’t sure how or where to begin. So, today I decided that I shouldn’t put it off anymore so here I AM!!!! I will blog about my cards, 3-D projects, promotions, giveaways, scrapbook pages, and anything creative you will see it here. I will also post some personal things as well, that way you get to know more about me and who I am! This should be super fun for me and you. I hope to get feedback from everyone!

So here goes:
