Hello and welcome to Altenew’s August Blog Hop! I am so excited about the beautiful and fresh products that Altenew is releasing this month.
Altenew Precious Doodles Stamp and Die Bundle
I thought I would start with the Precious Doodles Bundle. When “doodles” is in the title, I know it is going to be a favorite of mine!
Precious Doodles is a happy little stamp layering set and I used Altenew Crisp Dye Inks: Cotton Candy + Coral Berry, Ocean Waves + Dusk, Parrot + Shadow Creek and Firefly + Green Fields. Once my Doodles were stamped, I embellished with Enamel Dots, die cut a frame, added the darling bee and die cut the sentiment.
Products Used on Card #1
- Precious Doodles Stamp and Die Bundle
- Precious Doodles Layering Stamp Set
- Precious Doodles Die Set
- Bee Kind Stamp and Die Bundle
- Halftone Squares Dies (to die cut the frame)
- Pocket Full of Sunshine Enamel Dots
- Simply Hello Die
- Crisp Dye Inks
- Foam Tape
Card #2 was quick and easy! I stamped and die cut four flowers, embellished with enamel dots and mounted on a simple background defined by washi tape.
Products Used on Card #2:
- Precious Doodles Stamp and Die Bundle
- Painted Grid Washi Tape
- Simply Hello Die
- Pocket Full of Sunshine Enamel Dots
- Crisp Dye Inks (starting from left to right: Orange Cream + Coral Berry, Blush + Coral Berry, Coral Berry + Crimson, Rouge + Coral Berry)
- Foam Tape
Altenew Arch of Flowers Stamp, Stencil and Die Bundle
The Arch of Flowers Bundle is such a fun and creative kit! For my first card, I used the stamp, coloring stencil and die. The die is gorgeous and very detailed which really adds to its beauty! The coloring stencil was very easy to line up and use and I love the effect. The stamp set also has great sentiments included, which is always a big plus! To finish the card I just added enamel dots to the flower centers.
Products Used on Card #1:
- Arch of Flowers Stamp, Stencil and Die Bundle
- Pocketful of Sunshine Enamel Dots
- Crisp Dye Inks (Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Firefly, Green Fields, Sunshine, Orange Cream)
- Black Pigment Ink
- Foam Tape
I also wanted to make a quick casual hello card with the stamp and coloring stencil. I angled the stamp and then quickly colored in the sunny little flower scene. Don’t the flowers look like they are reaching for the sun?
Products Used on Card #2:
- Arch of Flowers Stamp Set and Coloring Stencil
- Pocket Full of Sunshine Enamel Dots
- Altenew Crisp Dye Inks (Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, Firefly, Green Fields, Ocean Waves, Dusk)
I think this would make a cute stationary set or get well card too.

Great cards! Love how you created a design space using the narrow washi tape. I have that tape and love it but you have shown me a great way to use it for subtle framing.
