Altenew Inspiration Challenge - August 2026...

Hi! This is my entry for the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge. This is the inspiration pic:

I was inspired by the card design. Here is my interpretation of the inspiration.

I changed up the background colour for a bolder look.

I cut a striped pattern paper from the Wildflower Paper Collection into small squares and arranged them across the card base.

The branch is from the Craft-A-Flower: Cherry Blossom Branch Layering Die Set.

The sentiment is from the Dynamic Duo: Blooming Branch set.

Altenew Educators Video Hop - Focal Point...

Hi! This card is a part of the latest Altenew Educators video hop. The theme is 'Focal Point' and I created a garden theme CAS card with die cuts.

The background was created using the Altenew Hosta 3D Embossing Folder. 

I used two Altenew die sets to create the garden - Mini Delight: Potted Shelves Stamp & Die Set and Monstera 3D Die Set. These dies are quite small in size and great for using up all the tiny scraps in our paper stash.

The sentiment is from the Altenew One-Go: Birthday Greetings Stamp & Die Set.

Combining Stenciling with Embossing Folder...

Hi! Today's card is an experiment that worked. I created this card for a reel that is a part of the Altenew Certified Educators Instagram Reel Hop - Stencil Stories.

 

I started by stenciling a rainbow using the Altenew Double Rainbow stencil and Distress Oxide inks on a piece of white cardstock.

 

I ran the rainbow panel through the Altenew Peony Sunshine 3D Embossing Folder after inking one side of the folder with a black pigment ink. Here is a closer look at the panel.

The sentiment is from the Altenew Birthday Greetings stamp set.
