Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone and welcome to Altenew’s February 2019 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing all of the new stamps, dies, and stencils. If you arrived here from the talented Vicky Papaioannou 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 planner page:

I used Altenew Rennie Roses stamp set to create these super cute planner pages.

I simply stamped the different flower elements and used Tombow Recycled Color Pencils to color the images in.

The pocket tag was created with a piece of printer paper folded at the four corners, then folded in half. The left corner is folded into the right corner, creating the pocket.

Let’s take a closer look:

I even stamped the back of the tag. That way when the photo is pulled out the tag isn’t blank.

Let’s take another look:

Altenew January 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted in Altenew Blog Hop, January 2019, Uncategorized by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s January 2019 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing all of the new stamps, dies, and stencils. If you arrived here from the talented Rubeena Ianigro 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 4 x 8 scrapbook album:

I returned from Creativation 2019 two days ago and had so much fun seeing all of my crafty friends. It inspired me to create an album dedicated to them.

Here’s how I created this album:

I stenciled a couple of flower stems from Altenew’s Angelique Motifs Mask Stencil with Forest Glades Ink unto a white piece of cardstock.

Then I stamped the sentiment from Altenew Mega Greeting 3 using black ink.

After that I adhered the Simple Friend Die cut right next to the stamped sentiment.

Use We R Memory Keepers Cinch and Rose Gold binding wire to bind the album together.

Super easy and done. Now I can’t wait to fill it with photos.

Here’s another photo using the same stencil:

Altenew Masking Stencil

I facilitated a banner scrapbook make-n-take at Creativation this year at the Altenew booth. It was so cool. Everyone one loved working with the stencils. They saw how easy it was to create a simple but stunning design in under minutes.

Altenew December 2018 Stamp/Die/Paper Pack Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted in Altenew Blog Hop, December 2018 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s December 2018 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing all of the new stamps, dies, and paper packs. If you arrived here from the talented Amanda Korotkova 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 6 x 6 patterned paper scrapbook:

I love Altenew’s new paper pack called Verdant Walk. The paper is nice and thick and doesn’t need chipboard for reinforcement.

I also love combining my love of sewing supplies with my scrapbook supplies.

Here’s how I created this album:

Decide on how many pages you want your album to consist of. For this one I created a 5 page album.

Using the new Mega Greeting 3 stamp, I stamped the sentiment on the first patterned paper, creating the cover.

With the large grommet, I created a hole in the top left hand corner.

Once each piece of paper had a hole, I used the grommet pliers to close the grommet around the paper. Do not squeeze to tight. You want the papers to slide around the grommet.

Add the photos to the center of each paper using glue tape and two black enamel dots from the Green Field Enamel Dots set to decorate each paper.

Friends are everything right?! Such a great way to show them off. What do you think?

Altenew December 2018 Marker/Embellishments Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted in Altenew Blog Hop, December 2018 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s December 2018 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing all of the new markers and embellishments. If you arrived here from the talented Gayatri Murali 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 kraft scrapbook:

Super clean and simple kraft scrapbook is perfect for any occasion.

For the front of this scrapbook, I used the Sweet Hearts Adhesive Wood Veneers to create a simple title.

Take a look inside:

This scrapbook was created with several pieces of dessert storm cardstock and bind the book using the We R Memory Keepers Cinch.

I used dessert storm cardstock because its so neutral and matches with any color added to it. This allows the scrapbook to focus on different occasions within the year.

One the first page, I created a pocket and a tag for my journaling. Its a private message to my niece. I tucked it away, so that others can view the pages but not the message upon opening it.

I decorated these page with the Green Fields Enamel Dots and the Butterfly Acetate Die Cuts.

I love adding texture behind my photos because it adds depth. Adding the date with the date stamp is a perfect way keep track of when events happen.

Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted in Altenew Scrapbook, October 2018 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing the brand new Watercolor Brush Markers. If you arrived here from the talented Norine Borys 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 watercolor scrapbook layout:

I love the electric effect the watercolor created on this page. Super vibrant and fun. So was this trip to Universal Studios with my sister, daughter and nieces!

Here’s how this layout was created:

Gather Altenew Watercolor Markers and Altenew Large Watercolor Palette to get started.

Before you can use the markers you have to remove the green ring that prevents the ink from reaching the brush before the are ready to be used.

Squeeze the barrel to release the ink onto the palette.

Use as many colors as you want.

Spritz the palette with water so that the ink can move around when you apply it to paper.

Turn the palette onto the paper and watch the ink move across the paper. Its amazing. I love this palette for this very reason. You can see how the ink moves and make adjustment if you want.

Once you lift the palette, you will see some ink left on the palette that you can place somewhere else on the paper.

Once the watercolor look is to your desire, let it dry. Since I wanted it to dry quickly, I used my heat tool to dry it.

Now it time to add the photo and embellishments. Start with the title. I used the Reflection Scrapbook Puffy Stickers for this title.

Type up the journaling and adhere it next to the photo. Use the Date Stamp to add the date multiple times. Splatter some black ink drops for contrast on the page.

Add some thread and Reflection Scrapbook Collection Stickers under the photo.

Pretty cool right?!

Joann’s is my favorite place now to look for different pieces to scrapbook on. I found this super cute unfinished wood wall decor and knew this would be perfect for my next project.

My niece is growing up so fast and I wanted to capture her sleeping. This will hang in her room when I’m done.

Here’s how I created this Wooden Wall Scrapbook Panel:

Use Altenew Floral Flurries Washi Tape and cover the entire wood panel.

Use number 15 Penblade to accurately cut the washi tape off the edges and in the middle creases.

Once the washi tape is place down, its time to die cut Altenew Mega Hello die and the Altenew You Are Loved die.

Attach each die cut word to foam die cut words for extra thickness.

Print your photos, attach them to the wood frame and then attach the die cut word dies.

Attach some embellishment and your done!
